1. So we all need to post it EVERYWHERE!!!

[TheBlackAdder]

19. I wonder when she came over, she told some of her marks that she was under 18.

[czarjak]

2. "Blah People" disclosed the truth.

[PortTack]

3. Thx for posting...it will live here on DU FOREVER!

[MyOwnPeace]

4. Oh, Rickey!!!!!

You should have grabbed that shovel when you moved out of your 2-bedroom palace in Penn Hills on your way to the estate in Virginia. You could put it to good use now while you dig your way out of another "situation."

By the way, does anybody think that HE might know something about the 'empty' folders found at Merde-a-Lardo?

[Blue Owl]

5. Oh I remember this...

Hard as one might try, it is difficult to completely scrub out the stains of Santorum...

[madinmaryland]

6. Well seeing how the frothy mixture of Santorum never goes away

“ A frothy mixture of lubricant and fecal matter“

[SergeStorms]

14. Sphinctorum.....

I believe that was known as, if I'm not mistaken.

I can't remember who was responsible for that particular nom-de-nutcase, but we had loads of fun with it back in the day.

[DiamondShark]

20. It was and is know as Santorum n/t

[SergeStorms]

24. Not to many on DU.

During the Bush Administration it was Sphinctorum. You had to be there.

[FoxNewsSucks]

29. I don't remember hearing him called "Sphinctorum", but that fits perfectly.

"Santorum" got associated with that frothy mixture when pRick made a number of his anti-gay comments. In 2003 Dan Savage had a contest for his readers to come up with a fitting definition of the word "santorum". I don't know how the Google works, but somehow Savage and whoever helped, got the website http://spreadingsantorum.com to be the 1st place search result any time someone used Google to search for Santorum. I don't know why anyone would want to search for either kind of Santorum.

pRick whined to the Google, it remained the top result for years. The website doesn't come up in searches any more, but the story and definition are still in the top 2-3 places of search results.

[SergeStorms]

33. It was totally a DU thing....

and had nothing to do with Savage's contest. I'm sure many old DUers will attest to the Sphinctorum phenomenon.

I've been a member since almost the beginning of DU, contrary to what my "official" member since date says. I intentionally tombstoned myself during the Hillary/Barack wars of 2008. It was a dumb thing to do and I came crawling back a year later. The administrators were kind enough to reinstate me.

So I go a long way back. I've been through 3 different screen names. "Sphinctorum" really was a thing back then. Honest.

7. OK Rick, next do all the sweater vest pictures

[IbogaProject]

8. He is an extreme homophobe

So the sex positive columnist Dan Savage had a contest to come up with a good name for him. One of the submissions won after being voted on from the finalists.
Caution NSFW, it refers to a type of post sex mess.

9. Too bad the photo only hints at where his left hand is resting.

[liberalla]

12. I wonder if it's been cropped and there's a "more complete" photo out there somewhere?

because they're sure pressed up close together with no daylight between them.

[Cha]

10. Sneaky Weasel

Santorum.. your cozy Russian spy photo lives on!

[rubbersole]

11. Santorum only wishes the ruskie spy wanted to use him.

Not important enough. Frothy the snowboy.

[Norbert]

13. Wasn't he retarded as the dumbest senator at one time

Looks like the only thing that changed is he is a private citizen now.

[11 Bravo]

15. pRick Sphinctorum: Google's very favorite "frothy mix".

[SWBTATTReg]
