Rick Santorum served as United States Senator from Pennsylvania from January, 1995 through January, 2007. During that time, Santorum was known for his staunchly conservative political views. Claims by liberals that he was out of the mainstream appeared to have been validated in 2006, when Bob Casey, Jr., the son of a popular former Pennsylvania governor, defeated Santorum by capturing 59% of the popular vote for U.S. Senator.
National Weather Service
In 2005, Santorum made a failed bid to pass legislation that would have limited the information the National Weather Service could provide to the public, with the intention of promoting the Pennsylvania-based firm AccuWeather[1]. Though the NWS's warnings about Hurricane Katrina contained such language as "MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE UNINHABITABLE FOR WEEKS...PERHAPS LONGER"[2], Santorum criticized the body, saying that it gave insufficient warning.[3]
Iraqi War
In June of 2006, Santorum called a news conference to announce that weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq [4] As evidence, he cited a Defense Department report that degraded chemical weapons had been found in Iraq. He claimed that this report refuted the Democrat claim that no WMDs had been found.
Officials in George W. Bush's White House disagreed. They pointed out that the chemical weapons were not in usable condition, and that these "are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war."[4] Bush administration officials, including the President himself[5], have consistently said that no WMDs have been found in Iraq.
Gay Marriage
In 2003, Sen. Santorum opined that tolerance for gay marriage would be tantamount to tolerance for "man on dog" sexual practices. In response, Dan Savage (America's finest sex advice columnist) decided to name a sexual practice after the Senator. After much consultation with his readers, Mr. Savage decided that "Santorum" should refer to the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is often a product of sexual practices involving the anus. Mr. Savage has created a web page to promote this terminology, and it is the first hit on Google when you search for "Santorum."
