Santorum accuses Google of discrimination

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum has accused Google of discrimination today, thanks to the "graphic sexual term" that accompanies his name in Google searches.
In fact, if you type in "Santorum" into Google, the first result will give you this description (possible NSFW):

Santorum 1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex. 2. Senator Rick Santorum.

Adds the Republican candidate:

I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they'd get rid of it. If you're a responsible business, you don't let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country.
To have a business allow that type of filth to be purveyed through their website or through their system is something that they say they can't handle but I suspect that's not true.

The search term, and the sex act, was started by gay rights activist Dan Savage in 2003, following Santorum's mild anti-gay comments and position against same-sex marriage.
