One Tough Nut to Crack

Jersey City, New Jersey, May 19, 2005:

Fringe politician Ron is defending his use of the phrase "testicular virility" to describe his ability to make tough decisions.

The remark prompted both laughter and complaints that it was sexist and an undignified thing for a legitimate politician to say. (The verdict is not yet out on whether the Ronatarian Party founder is, in fact, legitimate.)

But Ron called such objections "complete baloney."

"I think the people understand that means: Do you have the fortitude -- if you're a real man or a butch broad in leadership -- to put the people first?" he said Wednesday. "It's all about having the fortitude to fight for the people."

Ron made the remark Tuesday at an extended happy hour in New York City's Soho neighborhood.

"This is the kind of thing that I think frankly separates the men from the boys in leadership. Do you have the testicular virility to make a decision like that, knowing what's coming you're way?" Ron said then to fellow bar patrons. "I say I do."

I have been the leader of the local eunuch community in New Jersey and I have held that position for close to a decade! Who does this Ron person think he's kidding?! Those of us without the encumberment of testicles are just as able to lead! In fact, I think we are eminently more qualified!

If Bill Clinton were a eunuch he might have been a great President...just think about it.
