Hail to the Sheets!

At Iain Dale’s:

Two young American females overheard on the tube…

Girl 1: Every girl would sleep with the President of the United States, wouldn’t she?

Girl 2: Yeah definitely…well, not Bush.
Girl 1: No, definitely not.
Girl 2: And not Reagan.
Girl 1: No…
Girl 2: And I guess not Roosevelt…

Presidents girls would sleep with.  Fascinating topic for exploration/prism through which to view history … which girls, which president? 

Clinton: Vulnerable subordinates.

Carter: tool-belt-wearing, earthy, give-away house-building, election-monitors?  I don’t know about that. He lusted in his heart, but did anyone lust back?

Gerald Ford: Cheerleaders.

Nixon: Goth chicks.

Johnson.  Southern-fried country girls.

JFK:  Girls who are not the third rail.

Eisenhower: Women who drive.

Truman: Bess.  Unless I seriously misjudge.

Roosevelt: No Eleanor jokes please.

OK, enough moderns.

Warren G. Harding: Girls who are not the third rail.

Lincoln: Come on, look at the guy.  Depressed, crazy wife, war.  There’s that bogus story going around that he was gay, based on anachronistic reading of circumstances, letters. I don’t buy it. 

Jackson:  I’m guessing ladies swooned.

Jefferson: Girls who are not the 18th/early 19th equivalent of the third rail. Key tied to a kitestring, I don’t know, whatever.

Washington: like so much else about him, a mystery. Dashing, smart. I’m guessing ladies swooned, though there is that wooden teeth issue. There are claims out there he boffed his brother’s slave.  Not considered credible, though among his class wouldn’t be unusual.

Topics: America, Britain, history, pols

   Oh good lord, Jules, wooden teeth or no, I guarantee that Washington made the ladies swoon!

   I’d go for Jefferson in a heartbeat, what with his big, giant sexy … er … brain, so you can add saltydogs.

   Wilson would have bored me to tears, so he’s a definite no.

   Maybe not FDR, but (aside from his politics) Teddy might have been worth a go.

   Now why didn’t you mention Coolidge? Bad rap, that one. No one with that dry a sense of humor can be all bad.

   I remember Nixon’s “Checker” speech from childhood. The man gave me the willies even then. Too insecure to ever really trust, much less lust after.

   Carter? Bugger.

   There are fictional presidents I might have considered (Harrison Ford, Michael Douglas, even Bill Pullman), but not one real one for whom I could have ignored the squick factor.

   And Geena Davis doesn’t qualify either.

   Cheers

   After reading the article all I can say is is that it doesn’t surprise me a bit that a lot of our presidents are the kind of men who would betray and cheat on their wives.

   Exactly what I would expect from a politician.
