Theres just no way this headline wasnt intentional, writes Charles Apple.
Well, lets find out.
I asked Kyle Whitmire, who wrote the piece, about his Santorum comes from behind in Alabama three-way hed. The former Birmingham Weekly staffer tells Romenesko readers:
I thought a few folks might get a chuckle out of it. We try to have a sense of humor, and the double entendre was too hard to resist. In Alabama, its the only way to stay sane sometimes.
However, I had no idea it would go viral the way it did. First I began to get email messages and texts from people in other states, but when I saw tweets in the cyrillic alphabet, I knew I might have set the woods on fire.
Also, to get the joke, you have to have a dirty mind.

To Tweety's credit, he almost kept a straight face while he did it, too.
