According to Fox News Serious Person Brit Hume, we wouldn’t be so offended by Chris Christie if we weren’t 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 guy’s guy, you’re in constant danger of slipping out and saying something that’s going to get you in trouble and make you look like a sexist or make you look like you seem thuggish or whatever. That’s 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 shouldn’t be, but that’s how it is.”

Aw shucks. Can’t boys be boys and manly men be manly men? Can’t 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?

Can’t 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?
