Late last year, President Obama put a delicate question to the highest-ranking women on his staff at a private White House dinner: Should he be worried about a nagging perception that his administration was a testosterone-fueled boys' club?

Testosterone-fueled? Not exactly what I think of when I think of Obama, Emmanuel, Axelrod and Gibbs. More like mean metrosexuals.

Barney Frank administers the spankings and Chris Dodd made the sandwiches with Ted Kennedy...

Hardly macho men!

But why the surprise - Muslims (who dote on cute young men and boys) avoid women like the plague.

That’s probably why Michelle Ma Belle is out shopping or eating all the time. She’s in New York City on a restaurant tour this week...I guess she’s figured out how to get goodies out of this situation.

testosterone-fueled boys' club

Not. More like tickle parties and swallowing each other's DNA.

Ernst Roehm and his buddies would have been right at home in the Obama White House.

No one in their right mind would confuse this gaggle of metro-sexual Marxists with a gathering of manly Americans.

I’m deeply offended by that simile. I frankly wouldn’t have most of these guys in my fraternity. Not because they’re Democrats, but because they’re douchebags.
