The Gist

Man-crushes

The conservative straight male pundits have been called out on their curious man-crushes on various Republican leaders several times in recent months. But that hasn't stopped them from swooning, as their embarrassing masculinity meltdowns continue. I keep thinking back to G. Gordon Liddy talking about Bush's bulge when he landed on that aircraft carrier ("You know, all those women who say size doesn't count -- they're all liars. Check that out.")

Joining Mitt Romney's jaw --which they've been going gaga over for weeks -- now comes Fred Thompson's manscent.

Update: I corrected my typo, in which I called Liddy Libby -- I guess I was unconsciously confusing White House felons!
