“that have an impact on the country?” So, Santorum equates himself and the country? Good to know.

An even better reason for keeping him from any hope of getting anywhere near the presidency. Or the Senate. Or the House. Or local dogcatcher (lessee, would “local” be western PA or DC-area Virginia?)

Thank you, Dan Savage! You have yet another good thing you have done for the country (along with “It gets better” and helping end DADT, not to mention his columns).

And now all of the other countries are going to start attacking us or at least driving by really fast and yelling “fags” while chucking Zima bottles at us and so now we are doomed.

May the sweet angels of the inner Sancti-Santorum bring down upon your head all the bricks of heaven’s gate.

You typed out the word “fag”! Now every goddamned clucking hen of a blog moderator is gonna swing by and shame your silly-ass for hating on Nader and the FAGS!

What? One tedious 300-plus string of comments wasn’t enough?

Why is this post on Fire Dog lake? Aren’t we above this? Who allows this to happen? Can we email Jane, or Jack, or Dick or Spot and have this terrible person removed? Why is a duck? Flackdoodles of the world clasp hands and weep … then faint!

Wait, what the…

You mean, there are posts here? By a somewhat popular blogger, TBogg? There’s more than just a bunch of crazed, semi-crazed, or not-at-all-crazed (or so they’ll tell you, any and all of those three) commenters having a flame war about Ralph Nader, firebaggers, and who’s holier than who (and thou)?

Huh. Next thing you know, you’ll be telling me that there are basset pictures and Shakira’s ass on this site.

Damn.

It’s interesting that he compared himself to Biden:

“I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they’d get rid of it,”

It sounds to me that he’s already accepted the fact that he will not be President and now he’s trying to sell himself to the others as a potential Veep. But, in his mind, the only reason they don’t want him because of his “Google problem.”

Don’t forget the corndog jokes.

Santorum, salad tossing, Santorum, anal copulation, Santorum, barebacking, Santorum, Lucky Pierre, Santorum &c.

Well, yes, of course. My bad for forgetting to include that.

Also, too — the snark.

It’s kinda telling that he doesn’t compare himself to Obama.

Because heaven KNOWS that you can’t find anything derogatory about Obama on the internet by using the Google…

you don’t let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country.”

I think Ricky means this in a broader sense. Yes, he is not happy about his google fame, but the whole voting/democracy thing is really shitting all over God’s plans, what with his single digit prez numbers and the 17 point beatdown he took as an incumbent senator in PA.

And speaking of things related to the ‘back door’, whoever left it open on that last thread and let the kooky neighbors in, please remember to lock it next time. We don’t live in a barn. We live in a somewhat popular demonic snark dungeon.

I kind of doubt Google would bother with a mean-but-not-legally-actionable prank on Biden back when he was in Congress or when he was a candidate for President or anything else. (As vice president? I also kind of doubt they’d bother with it, but Mr Santorum? You’re not the Veep, if you hadn’t noticed. I mean, someone appears to have been google bombing Mike Gravel with “crazy”, which is a more apt analogy, and they haven’t bothered with that.)

Also, Mr Santorum, cheer up. The gays may be being nasty at you, but no one has yet compared your wife, the person you love most, to a dog. No one has suggested that your marriage is in some tangible way invalid, that your love is inhuman and sinful and non consensual, and that you are a danger to your children merely by existing and that the law must take them away from you.

In the war of nasty insults and real world consequences based on same, gays still can’t get married or adopt kids in most places. DOMA is still in place. Congresspeople still feel free to suggest being gay is the same as fucking animals or children, and some of them make money by convincing gay people desperate to stop feeling like society’s easy targets–or the parents of gay teens, having bought the lies that gay is a choice or a sin or a personality disorder–that they can become straight. Those “ex-gay” people still kill themselves with some regularity because they can’t do it. Other gay people are bullied or beaten to death at the hands of people who believe all the hateful things Rick Santorum and others have said about them. On the other hand, we get to snicker about a mean joke on an asshole who insults us with some regularity.

Rick Santorum, meanwhile, gets to fundraise off of how much The Homosexual Activists hate him, and has a ready-made excuse to not win an office he was never going to win anyway. On the other hand, if his kids want to google search him, they have to learn how to use the – key.

Dan Savage is truly History’s Greatest Monster.

“I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they’d get rid of it,” Santorum said.

He suspects it, people! This is some Wooward and Bernstein shit right here!

You know, every so often some wingnut tries to go after Google as part of the Gay Liberal Muslocialist Agenda, all manipulating their search results to make conservatives look bad (as if they need the help!) But unlike fairly successful attempts to tar science, secularism, the rule of law, education, healthy living, and paper currency as part of a communist plot, this one’s never really caught on. Why? Well, only one of these things can bring you porn whenever you ask…

Are we talking about the same Santorum? Because there are a lot of people out there named Santorum.

Or, at least, a name that sounds like Santorum.

Also. Santorum.

Points for including *that* photo (seriously). I cannot think of a more deserving specimen to be savaged by Dan… via teh ghey google-thing, of course.

Santorum, salad tossing, Santorum, anal copulation, Santorum, barebacking, Santorum, Lucky Pierre, Santorum &c.

Santorum/Nader 2012!!!1!

(still staying within the 2 Boobs and a Flagpin meme)

If you’re googling yourself and there’s santorum, you’re doing it wrong.

Every time you google Santorum, an angel gets his wings.

No one here is serious, but seriously, I love the ‘It Gets Better’ campaign. I can’t think of anything to make a teenager feel better than that sentence. Which brings me to ask….what happened to the ads? I haven’t seen one in a while.

No one here is serious

Huh? Shakira’s ass is no laughing matter.

Huh? Shakira’s ass is no laughing matter.

Absolutely not! I was assured yesterday that it Creates Jobs! What exactly does solai have against jobs?!

solai: Google ads seem to rather oddly position themselves based upon a combination of the content of the post and your browsing history. You wouldn’t believe how many Squaw Valley ads showed up on lefty blogs after I had already purchased my season pass. Dumb, n’est ce pas? Did they think I was going to ignore my season pass and buy another one?

Hear hear! Tax cuts for Shakira! Meanwhile, if Rick doesn’t like that Santorum leads where it leads, then perhaps Santorum should’ve refrained from talking about gays and gay sex using such frothy terms way back when.

Santorum positioning himself for Veep is laughable.
Who in their right mind would leave themselves open for the hilarity that would follow a “GOP candidate runs with Santorum” announcement.

I just figured out a problem with that supposition. Never mind.

I’m not so sure about your fancy LC elitist “hypothesis”.

I get ads for dolphin waxing and Dutch ruddering products consistently. I’m not a dolphin owning Dutch guy, but I do spend some time, maybe a lot of time, watching Shakira videos.

After taking in a couple of Nader videos and I got star-burst-control Depends ads. I ordered a set with the tear-off front pouch….

I think the Depends ads favor my hypothesis. Just go one thread down and try to read the comments if you have any remaining doubts.

Maybe Teh Googles thinks you want to be waxed. Have you considered it?

jebuz, you’re a serious feller…

Wait, you mean that there’s a definition of “Santorum” that ISN’T a frothy mix of lube and poop?

That is wrong on so many levels. Someone should alert Google and have that deviant “Santorum” removed from the internets.

Or at least added to the Global Killfile.

In fairness, it has had an impact on the country by making millions of people laugh at Santorum.

Why do people keep linking Santorum‘s name to that nasty site.

You win the thread, Dr. Dick!

My apologies for commenting on this thread and failing to mention its Santorum subject. Twice, now, I’ve failed to mention Santorum. Also, Santorum, because this is a third post.

“If you’re a responsible business, you don’t let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country.”

I’m pretty sure that Santorum should direct his ire in this particular case against the people of Pennsylvania, who voted Santorum out of office, instead of the columnist who gave us a new and better definition for Santorum. Possibly the voters of Pennsylvania voted Santorum out of office because they didn’t want Santorum getting on stuff, but we’ll never know why Santorum was squeezed out of office, probably.

but we’ll never know why Santorum was squeezed out of office, probably.

Boy, I thought you’d written that Santorum was squeezed out of orifice there for a second. That’d certainly explain why most of Santorum‘s kids were crying, because Santorum being squeezed out of an orifice exudes a fairly unpleasant, sort of shitty-bubbly, type of image…

Spooge.

Whoa! OT but there is a new posting at KOS titled, “Santorum worked into lather over Google search results.”

Let’s all go over there and criticize Nader.

That’s a great idea because that’s two great tastes that taste great together, and should be done everywhere on the net:
Criticizing that fuckwit Nader and linking Santorum.

Wait a minute. You mean everything I read on teh Google ISN’T true?

Also: Would have been interesting to see the look on his face the first time he googled “Santorum.”

Now you know what Obama feels like, dickwad.

That was one of the most thoughtful, well reasoned posts I’ve read today.

Also, Santorum. Too.

Rick still has so much to learn about the powers of the Internet.

You people are, like, totally unserious and immature and not funny whatsoever for posting Santorum all over the internets and stuff.

Besides, at least half of those 300+ posts could have been distilled to, “Leave Nader ALOOOOOONE!”

I’d also like to add Santorum. But that would be icky and most unserious of me.

Wait a sec – is Santorum suggesting that Google should regulate their site? Seems to me that Dan Savage was just using one of those hallowed free-market solutions.

Santorum-lovers hate the Invisible Hand. They know that businesses really need to be firmly taken from behind and have cronyism inserted with a vigorous thrust. Only in that manner will Santorum be dribbled over the nation and return us to Priapism Prosperity.

Seems to me that Dan Savage was just using one of those hallowed free-market solutions.

You’re forgetting the hallowed First Commandment: It’s ONLY OK If You’re A Republican.

And btw, did I mention Santorum??

Lil’ Ricky was always a big fan of the Invisible Hand, until it started smearing him with
Santorum.

But that would be icky Sticky and most unserious of me

please! get it right, will ya, esp in regard to sacred santorum…

By Santorum mentioning the Google bomb, it just makes people who are unaware of what he’s prattling on about to search Google to find out what he’s so mad about.

Which makes Santorum look all the more worthless as a candidate and a right-wing welfare pundit, and why I love the concept of the Santorum Google bomb.

To recap, Santorum.

Did I Santorum correctly?

I guess when the folks in your state turn you out of Congress, that’s your clue to run for nationwide office. Poor Rick Santorum, persecuted just like jeebus.

What? One tedious 300-plus string of comments wasn’t enough?

Please note that “300-plus string of comments” and “tedious” are completely redundant. There are few verities in this life, but any collection of several hundred comments on the internet is guaranteed to be a nexus of dullness and stupidity. I don’t care if every comment is written by Nobel Laureates, it will gradually degenerate into something less than useless.

Can Godwin’s Law be invoked retroctivly?

Like my spelling errors?

You can test this theory…they’re now almost up to 500 comments. Has the addition of 200 more comments increased, or dispersed, the concentration of Santorum?

(I’ll stay in the boat while you conduct the research)

…But …but I thought big companies with lots of money could do no wrong?!

Santorum wasn’t squeezed out of orifice, he was shot out prematurely. And, now, it’s just kind of dripping down along the inside of the Republican Party, trying to find a place where it can pool up and accumulate. Doubtless, it will be wiped up before the next election.

True enough — they love a well lubricated hand. Otherwise, all of the froth they create might not be Santorum.

I got out of the boat and witnessed more fucknuckledmentalmasturbation on the part of some peeps.

One old coot has sparkle pants for Palin rogering Nader or something.

I did my part to encourage more.

No sign of any Santorum though….

Little known factoid – Dan Savage was inspired by the success of the “miserable failure” googlebomb to start his Santorum campaign.

You’re welcome.

Eschaton is amusing even when it reaches 400 plus comments.
