Rick Santorum has mad Temple Run skills, his kids say [Video]

If you're Republican, here's another reason to love presidential candidate and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum. If you happen to be a Democrat, well, we're sure you'll find a way to hate the guy over this. According to Santorum's spawn, John and Elizabeth, the presidential hopeful is hooked on Imangi Studios' Temple Run, one of our favorite iPhone games of 2011.

In fact, according to Santorum's daughter, the guy has scored over 1 million points in Temple Run, the running game in which players endlessly attempt to escape a temple filled with angry monkeys. And it's all their fault, Santorum says, for putting the game on his iPad in the first place. "I'm addicted to it," Santorum told Flip the Media. "It used to be Angry Birds, but now it's Temple Run."

Between this, Words With Friends getting famous on a plane (twice) and Emma Stone confessing her FarmVille addiction, do not be surprised to see more celebrities come out with their closet gaming habits. The more people in the public eye playing video games, the cooler, but just don't end up like this dude and you're golden.
