Santorum's Google Problem

Rick Santorum has a problem.  And, in what is a terrible situation for a politician, the more popular he gets, the worse it becomes.  Santorum’s recent primary victories have generated a buzz around his campaign.  And this buzz has prompted more and more people to search for “Rick Santorum” on Google.  Which has then led to every one of these voters realizing:
 
If Rick Santorum had chosen to go by “Dick,” it would still be the least vulgar part of his name.

GOP Candidate Campaign Playlists

President Barack Obama recently released his campaign playlist on Spotify, complete with songs from  many great artists like U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Wilco. So in an effort to appear more electable (and more “with it”) to the American public, the individual GOP candidates have decided to match the 44th Commander-in-Chief with their own list of tracks he enjoys while on the campaign trail.

MITT ROMNEY
“Sharp Dressed Man”- ZZ Top

“Born in the U.S.A” – Bruce Springsteen
“You’re Fired” – Bratmobile
“Battle Hymn of the Republic”- Mormon …

Rick Perry's Last Stand

My fellow Amurkans, I’d like to take this opportunity to speak to you about the upcoming Carolina primary happening this January 20th or 21st or whenever. I know it’s on a Tuesday. Wait, according to my campaign manager it’s a Saturday. How come they’re always doing these votin’ things on a Tuesday and then out of the blue it’s on a Saturday?
