Anyone reading this all ready knows what activist and sex columnist Dan Savage has done to the word Santorum. If you don’t, Google it and I’ll wait.
To me this is one of the primo examples of don’t get mad, get even. Even after all this time, it is still the first two hits you get when you type in that word into the Google-machine. It put a really nasty image of a pretty nasty Senator out there on the Internet; and as we all know, once something is on the Internet it is basically there forever.
Good ol’ Sen. Rick has now decided that he has been called by God to run for the office of President of the United States. The problem is he is so last decade. His campaign is going so poorly and raising so little money that even Tim Pawlenty is saying “Wow, that campaign is in trouble!” And that is really, really saying something.
So what is a failed conservative Senator to do? Well it looks like he is going to try to use his complete and utter punking by Savage as a way to raise money. Which, as you might gather, is a bad, bad idea for Santorum. You would think that after having lost a hand in a wood-chipper, a person would stay away from it, but not Santorum.
That’s right folks, if Rick Santorum goes after Dan Savage and gay people to raise money for what is surely going to be a losing campaign, Savage is going to redefine his first name as well. Now most of the time I’d take a threat like that with a big grain of salt, but this is the guy that made it so that all the little Santorum rugrats will never be able to cyber-slack by Goggling themselves. Him I’d take a little more seriously.
Now all that we are left with is wondering if Santorum is smart enough to take the warning. I am betting on not. Which, as the video shows, could cause a lot of collateral damage to a lot of folks named Rick.
The floor is yours.

bill!
Haaaaaa-hahahahahahahahaha…
No. This has been another episode…
Maybe we can help Dan out here. What should “Rick” mean?
BILL!
Actually I’m betting that he’ll say something stupid and dare Savage to try, pretty much like he did last time.
How about “ferrety little poop slinging gibbon”?
i think it should have closeted in there somewhere…
That gets my vote. I just can’t believe that someone would call bluff of a person that managed to for all time brand them with santorum the noun.
Point taken. Ferrety little poop slinging self loathing closet case?
Ricky pooh isn’t known for his good judgment.
Or maybe Savage can redefine “gibbon” too to mean “self loathing closet case”.
Rick
[rik]
–noun
1. The frothy mix of vomit, excrement and saliva that is sometimes the byproduct of scat films.
i’m gonna have to get more popcorn. this is gonna be fun
I dunno. Needs something with a dog.
I think we may well find out what Dan has in mind before too long. From the video, it would appear to make the wildest, most perverted, foul, and disgusting imaginings I can come up with pale by comparison. If Santorum then changes his name to Dick I will personally throttle him.
Kicks just keep getting harding to find.
Go for it.
Me, not so much. But, we’re all different, and that’s okay too.
Hey ya, Suz.
He may as well. It’s a better use of his time than campaigning.
Okay. Ferrety little dogpoop slinging, closet dwelling gibbon….
Let us not forget, that Rick’s middle name is John. “Johnny on the Spot” “big jon” “he’s a john” ….
I think Santorum campaigning has real potential. Everybody could show up at his rallies with their dogs, which have signs on them saying, “I’m with Rick!”
LMAO! XD
And every one of those dogs should have a GI Joe on it’s back.
SANTORUM – LIKE MOST REPUBES – IS A “CON” MAN – if he is indeed a man at all. Here is a fact. Santorum is a cheap copycat scamster who prides himself on his willingness to echo the rants of the crazed and wacky and radical evangelist frauds who need a blowhard megaphone fraud like him to provide the obnoxious “loud blanket of tyrannical rant” to cover their anxiety of life for which these frauds – really have no real faith in.
LMFHO
Now if someone could come up with a good definition for Paul Ryan or Eric Canter that would be good too.
I love Dan but in this case I think he may have just given Man on Dog a little more press. Man on Dog is Nowhere in the polls. The press loves a good fight and will be happy to go to Man on Dog and ask him all about this threat by Dan etc giving him more media attention. Let Man on Dog fade into the pages of history as but a minor foot note I say. IMHO
“Henceforth, all the privies in the land shall be called ‘Johns!’”

Santorum stands no chance of winning anyway. May as well let the media use him as a sideshow freak.
Knowing Savage it will be both savage and disgusting. Knowing Santorum, he didn’t learn anything from their first go around. This is what bravado does for you. You talk plenty of shit, knowing in the back of your mind that it could really bite you in the ass and then suddenly you find yourself completely unable to back down. Look at Congressional Republicans. The debt limit fight is blowing up in their faces or would be if the Democrats weren’t so determined to save them from themselves and the teabagger lynch mob they created.
Oh, and by the by: Love the Liberty U t-shirt. Has anyone else been noticing a lotta ads for Liberty U’s (unaccredited) online degrees around here lately? Always worth a chuckle for me.
I have one.
Cantor N A small weasel like animal the slithers on the ground and only attacks and eats those that are smaller and weaker than it is. Makes a shrill disgusting nose when confronted. A close relative to the Tasmanian Devil.
Think I will toddle off. One more day of summer school and then three weeks of sun and fun! Take care all and don’t step in any Rick.
Rick [Rik] – Noun
1. A Republican Dick who fights his Battle of wits, unarmed
Rick Fox looked so horrified this TrailBlazers fan almost forgave Rick Fox for playing for the Lakers and being the lucky stiff that got to marry Vanessa Williams.
Almost.
I wanted to play along but the thought just hit me: we aren’t being fair to other people named Santorum. I’m sure Fred Santorum just loves being called “frothy” at work.
Rick’s been pwned. Any more attention will just feed his martyr’s fire.
Now if I could just get him to take on “Cornyn”. Oughta be easy.
Yer creative bent knows no bounds regardless of job restrictions.
;-)
Messy too, it seems.
Got yer LLN Cape On?
It IS washable ain’t it?
Just a minor edit . . . ;-)
Uh, well then . . . Howdy, Doc Richard.
Can I say I’m tired of the Santorum thing. I’m tired of Dan ever having given this dumbass evil POS the extra oxygen. The whole thing’s stupid and gross and juvenile. At this point especially it is far beneath Dan and the capacity he’s shown for true and effective activism.
/get off my lawn
After what Margaret said to me on this thread..
http://my.firedoglake.com/kellycanfielddenver/2011/07/27/call-to-action-no-super-congress/
and moderator’s not deleting one of Margret’s comment in particular I flagged on that thread.
I’m cancelling my commitment to come to the October event in DC.
I’m not traveling cross country from Oregon to be treated like that.
Seems like both of you took things the wrong way and both reacted like children.
Personal opinion from what I read.
I’ve been called a lot worse here.
And have other people.
There’s always some BS misunderstanding.
Both of you need to get over it.
I read it, and I don’t think either of you has any moral high ground to stand upon. Both of you Fed up.
Everybody here knows all about “balanced jounalism” already.
There no reasonable explanation for the way Margeret went off on me on that thread. None.
That’s not fair to the millions of men named Rick. They already have to avoid the nickname Dick.
The video is amusing, but this stood out in the article:
Scary. You know who else was a narcissist? Adolph Hitler.
