Santorum

Santorum’s so funny. I love it. OK – I don’t love it, but its story is fantastic.

If you don’t know what Santorum is, consult Urban Dictionary or Wikipedia.

See? In and of itself it’s really quite funny, but there’s more to it than that… it’s named after a politician! I love that idea – a politician does or says something stupid, and for punishment their name becomes the new word for something rather… unappetising. It fits perfectly as well: Rick Santorum is clearly a raging homophobic, so what better connotations for his name?

I think we should start doing the same for other politicians. Brown, anyone? Blair?
