I've been meaning to do this for awhile and now's as good a chance as any, so I'd like to give a shout out to Dan Savage of the sex-advice column "Savage Love" for brilliantly attacking the notoriously dim-witted lunkhead Senator Rick Santorum for his comments about homosexuality by naming a disgusting after affect of anal-sex after the aforementioned Senator. The idea, of course, is to honor the Senator for his lunkheadedness in such a way that his very name becomes associated with something incredibly disgusting that his very name will be besmirched. Not to mention the irony of his name being associated with something commonly dealt with by the people he has so lamely attacked.

So, to give my support for Dan Savage's movement, I will from hereon in do my part for the cause and use the term Santorum as much as possible. Not in discussion of the actual act (hey, I'm a nice Jewish boy), but as a term for anything disgusting. Things like- that shot of Lawrence Taylor hitting Joe Theismann was so disgusting it was Santorum. Or that scene where Uma Thurman bit the tongue of the attempted rapist in "Kill Bill" was Santorum. Or maybe even Christina Aguilera is beyond skanky, she's Santorum.

After all, the more the term "Santorum" is used in normal conversion, the more honor we give to them man himself.
