Rick Santorum reportedly contacted Google to request the removal of a derogatory definition associated with his name in search results. Google refused to intervene, citing its policy against manual search manipulation. The hosts argue that Santorum is too "wimpy" to handle the situation and should have used his political platform to threaten Google with congressional hearings to force a change.
