Here’s a sad song for Rick Santorum, who’s contemplating yet another pointless run for the Presidency, despite his anal sex problem (here). Though, as Dave Weigel points out, his real problem with Google is that he hasn’t done anything noteworthy to displace the #1 item in his Google search rank.

Let him run. We can use the laughs, and the economy can use his cash.

I can’t imagine many other things more hilarious than little Ricky Santorum making a presidential run. Hell, his last Senate campaign was a howler. Dan Savage did good work there.

If he were in the Senate wouldn’t he be considered a deficit hawk?

Even if he could do something to get his name and the new action the #1 Google search, I have a feeling that many of us would Google bomb him again to make sure that term reference became #1 once more and stayed there.

I love how Rick is all, “We all know who it is. It’s just one guy.” Well, no, sir, the frothy mixture doesn’t consistently come back #1 on Google for — what, 10 years? — because only one guy thinks you’re an asshole.
It’s too bad that Rick’s been the victim of such “incivility,” as he notes. All he was trying to do was deny an entire demographic its basic civil rights. Is that any reason for impoliteness?

Somebody can drop an Acme anvil on Rick’s head for all I care, but, man, if you ever get a chance to see Lila Downs live do it. She has a great voice, sings in English and Spanish, and travels with a terrific band.

@mistermix a.k.a. mastermix: Very nice! That move was almost DougJ-esque in its simplicity and finesse. I sense a competition for Master of the Internets in the making.

I love Lila Downs with the heat of a half dozen habaneros, but I’ve never heard this song. Any idea what album it’s on?

Headed into any other presidential election year, I’d have already declared Santorum the 2012 winner of the Dan Quayle Presidential Timber Award.

Little Ricky needs to find a way for this association to work for him. How about a nifty campaign slogan like “Up From The Bottom” or “America On Top Again”? I know he has it in him.

@PurpleGirl: yep… it’s been 8 years and Savage’s google bomb result hasn’t moved from the #1 spot… don’t think there’s another search result that hasn’t moved from #1 position in that length of time… it’s a testament to how shitty Santorum is in managing his own name and everything else that he can’t manage / doesn’t try to change his name presence on google.

Fuck you, Rick Santorum, you dickhead.

The whole Santorum thing is even funnier than Larry Craig’s “I am not gay. I never have been gay” speech.
Great work, Dan Savage. May Rick Santorum’s political career die a quick death.

Jaja. Santorum: The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.
Saw this on Colbert and had to google it. Funny as hell.
