It seems that Ruth listens to Rush . . . expect a SITYS on tomorrow's show. Speaking of Rush take a peek at Erica Jong Fantasizes About Bubba to laugh.

I explain to my customers who know me as a conservative what I like best about "W". He doesn't' give a crap about how I or they feel. As he says, "He appreciates their point of view." Thats man talk for STFU.

Better manly than metrosexual.

"...which makes him a species as rare as a dissenting voice in the Bush White House..."

Horse shizer. Want to see rare dissent? Try XXXtoon. After saying "feel free to disagree" a member of his Admin did. she was castigated by everyone and their liberal grandmother.

Please. Nothing is more dissent unfriendly than a communist. Need more proof? Leon Trotsky.

I saw an interview/discussion on the subject of manliness between Mansfield and Naomi Wolf on CSPAN's booknotes last night. Mansfield was pretty vague, and over-generalizing. Real men are risk takers for the joy of risk itself, yet calm, yet given to fits of violence and rage. Whatever. Naomi gave him a rough time, in a polite way. Mansfield just doesn't have enough depth on the subject. It is all just too complex. Someone else needs to write something a bit more serious on the topic. It is a topic for the long distance runner. Sprints won't cut it.

Many manly men at Free Republic....


An a few manly women too!

[Spruce]

What a load of sh*t!

Because of 'manly' men Ms. Marcus can make 6-figures disparaging the very foundations of her success.

I got news for you, toots. The world is a wicked, evil place. And without 'manly' men you'd be an uneducated sperm receptacle.

If Mansfield wants to know what manliness looks like, I'll send him my picture.

A female telling everyone what manliness is.

Right.

There are, no doubt, comforting aspects to the manly presidency; think Bush with a bullhorn on top of the smoldering ruins of the twin towers. After a terrorist attack, no one's looking for a sensitive New Age president. Even now, being a strong leader polls at the top of qualities that voters most admire in Bush.

But the manliness of the Bush White House has a darker side that has proved more curse than advantage.

Just when I thought the W.P. couldn't sink lower.

What would Ruthie or anyone else at the Post know about manliness, except perhaps as an abstract anthropological study? The most frightened female PFC in Iraq has more manliness in her than anyone in the Post's well-appointed health club.

What I do see here is a lot of pretentious idiots pursing their lips and attempting to analyze something beyond their wit. So let me ask a question - did the Post do the "manly" thing and publish the Danish cartoons or did it...well, we all know what it did. Hope the editorial board doesn't suffer too much from menstrual cramps.

There's nothing sexier than a manly man conservative. The libs can have the metrosexuals.....and Hillary Clinton.

[SkyPilot]

What a bunch of crappola!

The MSM strikes again.

What this country could use is a little less manliness -- and a little more of what you would describe as womanly qualities: restraint, introspection, a desire for consensus, maybe even a touch of self-doubt. But that's just my view.

Got any self doubts about that view? Something tells me that if someone broke into this writer's home, she'd be quick to call up some manly cops to use violence in her name.

Sorry lady, we are still trying to make up for the last administration that tried restraint, introspection, a desire for consensus, maybe even a touch of self-doubt.

Now, get to the fridge and get me a beer!
