From Wiki:
The word santorum /sænˈtorəm/ (distinguished from the name 'Santorum') is a neologism promoted by American advice columnist Dan Savage since 2003 in response to statements regarding the US Supreme Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas made by Republican U.S. Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania.[1][2]
As a way to demonstrate opposition to Rick Santorum in particular and anti-gay politics in general, Savage requested that readers suggest a new definition for 'Santorum' in his column Savage Love, and announced the winning definition to be "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex".[3] Savage created a website defining the term, which became a prominent search result for "Rick Santorum" and "santorum" on many Web search engines including Google, Yahoo! Search and Bing.[4][5][6] In 2010, Savage offered to remove his website if Rick Santorum would donate US$5 million to a gay rights group, Freedom to Marry, which advocates on behalf of same-sex marriage in the United States.[7][8]
Rick Santorum has publicly addressed the phenomenon in multiple interviews.[9][10][11] In a February 16, 2011 interview, Santorum stated to Roll Call, "It's one guy. You know who it is. The Internet allows for this type of vulgarity to circulate. It's unfortunate that we have someone who obviously has some issues. But he has an opportunity to speak."[9] He stated to The Daily Caller in an April 28, 2011 interview, "I don't see it as a problem at all."[10] He hoped the issue would "take care of itself over time", with increased media coverage of his political campaign as a candidate in the 2012 United States presidential election, adding, "And if it maintains, it will just show a rather disgusting side of politics, unfortunately."[10] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette queried the former Senator about the issue in a May 12, 2011 interview, and Santorum responded, "It's a free country and people can do and say what they want to say."[11] He asserted in the interview that this methodology was a double standard seen as acceptable by proponents of Left-wing politics, but that activists from the Right politically would not be able to achieve the same impact without critical scrutiny.[11]

Yeah, I double dare you to do it as an image search with the "safe search" function turned off.

Mr. Santorum deserves every bit of the scorn and laughter that have been dumped on him
OTOH, you have to believe that his kids will change their last name as soon as they have the legal right.

Also amusing:
Some years ago Sen Tom Harkin of Iowa was credited with saying,
"Santorum... isn't that Latin for a##hole?"
