Santorum Wins the Internets!
You know how outraged we all were to learn that homofascists had highjacked Rick Santorum’s own name so that when you googled it you came up with some juvenile nonsense about buttsecks? Remember?
Well, in a move totally not coordinated with the Republican Primate Race, Google has – ahem – amended its algorithm so that spreadingsantorum.com is no longer the top hit. We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief. Except that…
I blame Dan Savage.
TJ/ My personal hero of the day:
Oklahoma Sen. Judy McIntyre (D), one of four women in the 48-member state Senate, looked out over a sea of homemade signs at a fetal personhood protest at the state Capitol on Tuesday and spotted one that she wanted to hold herself.
“If I wanted the government in my womb,” the sign said in painted blue letters, “I’d fuck a Senator.”
At the risk of offending some of her mostly male Republican colleagues, who recently voted to pass a controversial fetal personhood bill, she grabbed the sign and posed with it for photos.
“I was so excited about the fact that the women in Oklahoma have finally begun to wake up and fight for their rights,” she told HuffPost. “I saw a sea of signs that caught my eye, but this one in particular — I loved its offensive language, because it’s just as offensive for Republicans of Oklahoma to do what they’re doing as it relates to women’s bodies. I don’t apologize for it.”
@Mistress Cynica: Thanks for sharing this. She’s a brave woman to pose with the sign. I hope it gets her lots of votes.
The photo is epic – I cannot understand *why* Frothy Mix would ever appear in public with an ice cream cone; I’m sure his handlers have issued a “no bratwurst, corndogs, etc when the press is around” memo at least once…
@lynnlightfoot: She’s got my vote.
I can picture t-shirt sales with this slogan this summer at the beach resorts. With some minor editing of course as they are family resorts.
Re; the alt text. I really feel as if I have missed so much by not knowing about these insider joke.
A little teeth is okay but not from this guy.
@al2o3cr:
It’s a litmus test. If you just see a man having a frozen treat, you’re innocent enough to be one of his followers. If the picture makes you want to snicker, you have a sick mind, you’re at least a moderate if not a liberal, and you’re going to hell.
