“His Manly Characteristic”

zuzu

If you can stomach it, Media Matters has a look back at the fawning coverage of Commander Codpiece’s “Mission Accomplished” flight-deck moment. It includes this gem from G. Gordon Liddy:

MATTHEWS: What do you make of this broadside against the USS Abraham Lincoln and its chief visitor last week?

LIDDY: Well, I — in the first place, I think it’s envy. I mean, after all, Al Gore had to go get some woman to tell him how to be a man. And here comes George Bush. You know, he’s in his flight suit, he’s striding across the deck, and he’s wearing his parachute harness, you know — and I’ve worn those because I parachute — and it makes the best of his manly characteristic. You go run those — run that stuff again of him walking across there with the parachute. He has just won every woman’s vote in the United States of America. You know, all those women who say size doesn’t count — they’re all liars. Check that out. I hope the Democrats keep ratting on him and all of this stuff so that they keep showing that tape.

Remember, folks: Clenis bad, Manly Characteristic good.

  3. “Manly Characteristic”??

    Eeeeeeechh. I don’t know what’s worse, G. Gordon Liddy checking out Bush’s package or the moniker he came up with for it.

  8. Could you see Georgie’s “manly characteristic” in that flight suit? I must have missed it…it’s not exactly obvious even with, er, enhancing attachments. Maybe that’s why he’s so worried about whether his…missles…are bigger than Iran’s.

  9. He has just won every woman’s vote in the United States of America.

    My, what a high opinion of women you have.

  11. Ew. Just, ew. If there’s anything I don’t need to think about, it’s Bush’s ‘manly characteristic’. I’d prefer to believe he’s built like a Ken doll underneath it all, thank you very much.

    I’m gonna go yak now.

  12. So, now you know difference between manly men and womanly women. A manly man only takes one stocking for um….uhhh… augmentation.

  14. Gross, perverted, bizarrely closeted, “hero”-worship marketing bullshit. All usual for rightwingers.

    However, I’ll just delurk to say here, as a hetero woman who is not lying, that size does not matter? There are other things that matter.

  15. LMAO!

    Liddy’s always been good for the inadvertantly revealing mixture of yeeeewwwww and exhibitionism. It’s good (??) to see he hasn’t lost his chops!

  16. I was thinking to myself, “You know, I would like to cringe at some obvious President Bush Penis Worship today.” And lo! I did. Thank you, Feministe.

  17. Right, and every man in the US would totally vote for me for president if I had big enough breasts. Sure.

    Me, I never looked closely at the “manly characteristic” even of guys I found attractive until, um, well, until it was very clear that it was OK to look. Let alone used it to evaluate random politicians.
