Or at least, that’s what the Google search engine thinks he (it?) is.  As the result of a brilliant and altogether appropriate google-bombing campaign launched by Dan Savage, the anti-gay Pennsylvania Senator and Republican presidential candididate has had his name linked with something I’m guessing he’s not so personally comfortable with.  I won’t relate the whole story here–it’s been told already very well by Jason Linkins, among others.  But Mr. Santorum’s  response to a gay soldier at the most recent of the Republican presidential contests-to-see-who-can-be-more-hateful is just further confirmation that the association between the two meanings of Santorum a quite reasonable one.   And you know what?  I have to say that the name fits: the sound seems to match the substance remarkably well.  Perhaps  God meant it be that way?
