According to Fox News Serious Person Brit Hume, we wouldnt be so offended by Chris Christie if we werent such pussies.
HUME: In this sort of feminized atmosphere in which we exist today, guys who are masculine and muscular like that in their private conduct, kind of old-fashioned tough guys, run some risks. [...]
Men today have learned the lesson the hard way that if you act like kind of an old-fashioned guys guy, youre in constant danger of slipping out and saying something thats going to get you in trouble and make you look like a sexist or make you look like you seem thuggish or whatever. Thats the atmosphere in which he operates. This guy is very much an old-fashioned masculine, muscular guy, and there are political risks associated with that. Maybe it shouldnt be, but thats how it is.
Aw shucks. Cant boys be boys and manly men be manly men? Cant we shut down a highway for political purposes, leading to the death of an elderly woman in need of medical attention, or delaying the search for a missing child, without being called out on it?
Cant we grossly misuse the power and authority of our office, dole out wedgies on a whim, and a punch a few hippies without someone making a big stink out of it?
