A Real Man
That’s the first word I thought of after listening to these damned chickenhawk Republicans brag about how tough they are. Yeah, Rudy gonna bomb this and that, Mitt gonna put a wall here and there. We men. We no eat quiche, we nuke.
They’re dildos. Their juvenile braggadocio is contemptible. I won’t call ’em dicks because they’re not real men.
But Mark Poutenis, the guy behind The Thinking Ape Blues, reminds us what a real man is and what a real man does. In the political world Aquino lived in, a rigged Diebold machine wasn’t the worst thing to worry about. But he spoke his mind anyway.
Do we honor these Portraits in Courage? Of course not.
