Dude would probably have a ton to say about Google filtering search results in China, but when it comes to his own “Google problem,” censor away. If the so-called Google problem is a new thing to you, Dan Savage launched a campaign to have “Santorum” become the word describing the “the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.” Search Santorum online right now and the top entry is not about the anti-gay former Senator, but the campaign.Turns out Santorum went crying to Google about it. From Politico:Now, the Republican presidential candidate says he's convinced Google could do something to remedy the issue, if the company wanted to.
"I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they'd get rid of it," Santorum said. "If you’re a responsible business, you don’t let things like that hap pen in your business that have an impact on the country."
He continued: "To have a business allow that type of filth to be purveyed through their website or through their system is something that they say they can’t handle but I suspect that’s not true."Imagine what this asshole would think about Google if he knew how to turn safesearch off. Note that the top Bing search entry for Santorum is the actual campaign’s website.Reach this writer at michaelb@motherboard.tv.
