Upon hearing of Roosevelt's death, Thomas R. Marshall (former VP) said, "Death had to take him in his sleep, for if Roosevelt had been awake, there would have been a fight."

Superman may wear Chuck Norris pajamas. But Chuck wears Roosevelt pajamas.

What about Lyndon Johnson? He um, lived up to his name....and pretty much showed it to everyone in his cabinet, the press etc.

Ah yes, naked press conferences, a sight to behold no doubt.

P.S. Love Teddy, just thought this was funny bit of history.

Maybe not in some eyes but winning two elections and popular votes rather than crying like a spoiled little brat who didn't get his way is.

One of my factors of masculinity is the ability to say, "My bad." That was one of the more explicit manhood lessons taught to me by my grandfather: A man owns up to his mistakes.

But he hates gays and that's masculine enough. And let's remember. The Trump era is, at it's heart, a backlash against the SCOTUS decision that legalized same-sex marriage.

Dude received head from 23 year old intern in the White House.
