It’s OK not to like Mitt Romney, I’m not a huge fan myself. But the following article is nothing short of disgusting:
Poppy looks like Dirty Harry Callahan compared with Romney, who spent his war (Vietnam) in—ready?—Paris. Where he learned … French. Up to his eyeballs in deferments. Where Reagan saddled up a horse with the masculine name of El Alamein, Mitt saddles up something called Rafalca—except that he doesn’t even really do that, his wife does (dressage). And speaking of Ann—did you notice that she was the one driving the Jet Ski on their recent vacation, while Mitt rode on the back, hanging on, as Paul Begala put it to me last week, “like a helpless papoose”?
If you don’t vote for Romney because he doesn’t conform to a set of antediluvian stereotypes of “correct masculinity”, then maybe you shouldn’t vote at all because you are an idiot. Reducing a presidential election to a discussion of who drove a JetSki and what anybody’s horse is called is beyond disrespectful towards a country that is attempting to solve many serious issues at the moment.
It’s really funny that the author of the article accuses Romney of being “an insecure wimp.” That’s an example of projection if I ever saw one. Insecure wimps are precisely the people who see something wrong with men who speak French and ride on the back of JetSkis.
Bleh, what a vile article. I know it isn’t very recent but I missed it when I was on vacation and I can’t keep silent.

Maybe his fans should stop calling Obama a communist.

This seems to me all beside the point. Romney is obviously a guys’ guy. He’s all money, stuff, and telling women what to do. I have great contempt for him. And I don’t care what anyone says about Romney. Harry Truman said, as I’m sure you have heard, that if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. This is down and dirty American politics, as tough as it gets short of homicide. Love it or leave it!

I just find it really scary that people can still say the bigoted garbage we see in this article like its completely normal. This journalist is a chauvinistic pig! Let’s not sit by and let it slip no matter who his bigotry is addressed at right now.
This guy is a jerk!

Oh yes, I’ ve heard this many times. “It’s all in good fun. Stop being so uptight. You feminists have no sense of humor.”

Is Romney really “a girl”? I have the sense that all American males are girls, since that’s all they accuse each other of being. Who am I to say anything different from this end of the world? American males surely know best about each other.
Fortunately, in Australia, we have a Prime Minister who can stand on her own feet and give as good as she gets.
