When Name Recognition Goes Awry

Rick Santorum is facing a dilemma. He wants to run for president but he's having name recognition issues... Thanks to the fact that he's a homophobic old-school conservative tw*t, gay rights advocates long ago bombed the Web with references to his name defining it as "the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex". Oops. That's not going to look good for a candidate when folks Google his name.

Santorum himself opines that "The Internet allows for this type of vulgarity to circulate". "It's just a sad commentary," he adds. "You want to talk about incivility. I don't know of anybody on the left who came to my defense for the incivility with respect to those things."

Damn straight. It's a sign of a thinking society (one that manifests all too infrequently in America) that d*ckheads who try to trade on dumb bigotry get laughed out of the mainstream and blow their credibility. Wasn't it Santorum who equated gay sex with dog f*cking? So boo frickin' hoo if you don't get to run for president.

Incidentally, Santorum may be peeved enough that the prurient redefinition of his name comes up first on Google when you type 'santorum'. He should be equally frustrated that his name pops up first when you enter 'man on dog'. An equal disappointment to bestiality porn fans and Santorum alike. Now there's poetic justice.
