Savage Santorum

Not all links are work-safe!

There's a sex columnist in the Seattle free paper The Stranger named Dan Savage. (He's actually the editor, too, but I first read his column.) As a gay activist, he is clearly not a fan of Senator Rick Santorum, and to express this displeasure, he and his readers came up with an alternate meaning for the word "santorum." Since I don't think I'd ever heard Sen Santorum's name before reading Savage Love the alternate meaning is the one that has stuck in my head. (Awwww.... poor senator.) Nothing I have learned since first hearing of the man has raised my opinion.

Neither did this.

What a jerk.

Savage was offering a prize to anybody who could get Santorum to comment on the new definition. Don't know if he still is. But if Santorum runs for president, I am getting my ass in to the town hall and I am asking.

Oh, shit-- I don't even want to THINK about him running for president. Ick. (All things considered, I guess shit is exactly the word I should be using there.... )
