    You're ruining a perfectly good right-wing circle jerk.

    The story is fake, it's from a parody site like the Onion:

    Are you saying Charles de Gaulle was a wussy?

    How many charges did you lead across No Man's Land in WWI? What divisions did you command in WW2? How many cities have you liberated? How many Nazis have you killed?

    I would be damn proud to wear a hat similar to one worn by as badass a soldier as de Gaulle.

    If it's a fake story, that's good news.

    However, it's a good example of how people wouldn't put ANYTHING past Barack Obama.

    At this point, we've quit being shocked.

    If I post a picture of a Soldier or Marine holding an umbrella for Reagan, will you also call Reagan unmanly?

    (*)(*)(*)(*)ing hilarious.

    Wow. What a sad display on both the state of right wing "journalism" and it's adherent that would believe something so utterly ridiculous sounding. I mean i read the OP and I strongly suspected it was a joke. Do people, journalists, bloggers, and folks that pay attention to that sort of nonsense ever stop and think that if a story sounds really (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid, it may just be untrue? Or is more important to paint the president in a poor light than to pause and ensure that the material is real?

    He doesn't appear to have declined it.

    So are you now moving the goalpost and saying that you are only a lady if you ask for an umbrella?

    I disagree.

    I think it is bad news. Bad news that folks are so quick to believe something that is so utterly preposterous. Bad news that those who adhere to right wing news sites for cheap stories can not discern real from satire. Bad news that our collective intelligence in this country has dropped so low that folks believe the president sits around and thinks about how covers for Marines can be made more unisex in appearance.

    It speaks volumes to the intellectual depravity of this country, and especially folks who think that anything bad about the president must be true without checking for 2 seconds.

    It doesn't even look like a US marine holding that umbrella for him. That's two strikes, then.

    And I don't think anyone said a man should *refuse* an umbrella.

    Yup. There's the goalpost change.

    That's what I get for expecting consistency or honesty from a Rightwinger.

    It would be rude to refuse, just as it was inappropriate for His Highness to ask a marine to hold an umbrella over his delicate royal head.
