Dan Savage, who created the alternative meaning for ‘Santorum,’ today helped launch the word ‘Duggary’ – just as Rick Santorum announced his intention to enter the presidential race again – in 2016. We may all exhale…But first, an adorable video from America’s most beloved family – and counting, The Duggars!
The clan, whose loyalties should be with Uncle Huckabee, made this campaign video for Rick Santorum way back in 2012, because they all share family values and such. The super-sized family even campaigned in a dozen states for family friend, Rick Santorum.
Speaking of family values, do you recall the last time Rick Santorum ran for president, and made merry – what with the anti-gale bile and hatred? Santorum’s nastiness prompted Dan Savage to call out to readers to re-define Rich Santorum’s name as a sex act. You can still google ‘Santorum’ and find the ‘frothy’ definition. The Duggars have been open in their condemnation of LGBT people, as if being obnoxiously fertile and churchy weren’t enough. The thing is, with all of that hypocrisy, hatred, and now – child molestation, they deserve something special.
That’s why Dan Savage stepped up to the plate and tweeted a call to his followers:
“Clearly “duggary” needs to be a word. Should it mean sexual hypocrisy? Fundy hypocrisy? Child molestation? #duggary.”
Readers reacted promptly and definitions continue to pour in.
Mike Luckovich, cartoonist for Atlanta Journal Constitution defined Duggar. “To sexually abuse innnocent victims while trumpting your moral superiority.” example: “Hold my Bible while I Duggar you.”
Soren Roberts @fakedansavage “religious, educational, sexual, or other abuse of children elevated to the status of a hermetic lifestyle.”
Hank Thompson @fakedansavage the frothy mix of sanctimony and sexual hypocrisy
Lex Sizzle @fakedansavage the delusion of sexual/moral invincibility as a result of celebrity status and/or cult involvement.Nate Severance @fakedansavage #Duggary (n): an intensely hypocritical moral lecture. Example: a mega church leader preaching about humility.
And the hits keep on coming. Hopefully, there will soon be a winner so Josh Duggar and family pal Rick Santorum will have yet another thing in common.
