Sen. Rick Santorum is probably still depressed about the recent Supreme Court ruling, but I see no reason not to try to make his life worse.
He is, of course, the Senator who can’t differentiate between homosexuality and adultery or incest, and who doesn’t believe Americans should have any right to privacy in their own bedrooms, because…well, goodness, what they might get up to!
Therefore I am offically (it may have been mentioned here before) introducing SDMB to Dan Savage’s campaign to make “santorum” synonymous with (ahem) “the frothy mixture of fecal matter and lube which is the occasional biproduct of anal sex.”
On the grounds that if it catches on and he hears about it, it will make him uncomfortable. Much as his words (coming from a United States Senator) have made all of us uncomfortable.
Please intoduce this word into your vocabulary and use it often (although actual santorum can be easily avoided with an enema :)).
Under my present, ah, orientation,which I have every reason to believe is permanent, I very much doubt that I would ever have occassion to use the term.
I defy you, Airman, to prove to me or anyone else with more than one and a half brain cells AND on this MB that there is only one “scary” in the US Govt (i.e. congresscritters, senators, etc).
‘Santorum’ sounds more like a bacterial infection. Frothy poo and lube doesn’t quite cut it for me. Nope. Has to be burning, inflamed genital tissue, 'cause that’s what people in positions of power who push their narrow-minded, ignorant views deserve.
Let’s call anal froth ‘Ashcroft’. It sounds so much better. Think about it–‘Ashcroft’. The first syllable sounds like ‘ass’, for crying out loud! Here, let’s try this out:
‘I got Ashcroft in my Bush, giving me a case of Santorum that took weeks to clear up.’
Y’know, I would have been perfectly happy to go through life never having considered the existence of poop froth. That is one bit of ignorance I think might have been best left unfought. Thanks a lot, guys.
(Incidentally Savage’s column this week deals entirely with questions using the word “santorum”. Apparently the best advice for sheets with santorum stains is lighter fluid and a match. :D)
