Let's get to the bottom of this Santorum (Glenn)

So we thought that Santorum's Google problem was of recent origin (except for the original Latin meaning of the word, which involves the body part, but not the fluids). But no. Glenn enlightens us from Baltimore:

There is a weekly paper in Baltimore called City Paper.
 I believe many US cities have a version of it.
It is a (very) alternative version of The Baltimore Sun. It has pages
and pages if ads for sex services including, of course, gay sex for
sale.
There is a column, "Savage Love" every week with the old Ann Landers or
Dear Abby format. Note: those two were sisters. This column was a bit
different in that most of the questions were sexual in nature. I used
to read it religiously as the writer was/is very clever not only in
his answers but in his choice (perhaps made up) of questions.
(Translation: I read it for the sex.)
Many of the questions were from gay people. And, the columnist was
gay. That guy gave the name to Santorum's Google problem because of
all the gay bashing that Santorum did while a Senator. I remember when
he coined it. Santorum. I was there at its birth. What an honor.
