Fancy New Yorker Magazine Won't Print Definition of Santorum, But Prints 'Anal Rapists For Bush'
It's an election season, so the generally readableNew Yorkerhas made its quadrennial mutation into a presidential campaign magazine, which is boring. Also, the magazine has finally delved into the deeply rewarding taleof how Dan Savage turned "Santorum" into the name for the "frothy mix of lube and fecal matter" used to make McDonaldland anusburgers, or whatever.
TheNew Yorker, however, will not print the definition, because it is allegedly "unprintable" -- a lie, because we just printed it out right here on our crappy laser printer that came free with a microwave. The haughty magazinewill, however, print "Anal Rapists for Bush." But it's in the form of a quote, from the guy who managed the Bush/Cheney 2004 online campaign. And he's obviously talking about a stunt launched by Wonkette:
