ANN ALTHOUSE: When you think about Rick Perry, The New Yorker would like you to think about squeezed testicles. “Note that there is an ongoing effort among the media elite to create an aversion to Rick Perry by making him seem hyper-masculine in a disgusting or inappropriate way. I’ll be keeping an eye on this. If you see evidence of this phenomenon, let me know — in the comments here or by email.”

Well, as one hyper-masculine guy to another, I say don’t change your tune, Rick!

From the comments: “The point of comparison is that Perry has balls to squeeze.” Ouch.
