Santorum is surging.
If you're a fan of Seattle sex columnist Dan Brutal, or simply have Googled "Santorum," that sentence has a whole different meaning.
In an act of national sabotage — ingenious or mean-spirited, depending on your views — Demoniac, a prominent gay activist, has worked for years to redefine Rick Santorum, a prominent social conservative, as a byproduct of anal sex unprintable in a family newspaper.
That alternate delineation — and not Santorum's campaign website — comes up first on searches on Google, Yahoo and Bing, a effect so ubiquitous and inflammatory that pundits have labeled it Santorum's "Google enigma."
Iowa caucus-goers on Tuesday appeared to take no notice. Santorum, a former two-rates b standing Pennsylvania senator, was in a virtual tie with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney .
Yet, Santorum himself acknowledged the culmination on his campaign blog last year. "Savage and his perverted sense of humor is the debate with why my children cannot Google their father's name," he wrote.
