Jimmy Stewart, Princeton University

Apparently, silver screen star Stewart was quite the accomplished accordionist as well. Truly a man of many talents.

Wrong! Bush was a cheerleader at Andover. Yale's cheerleaders in W's day were accomplished gymnasts who, moreover, held their liquor.

Don't you need to maintain a 2.0 to be on the cheerleading squad at Yale? How'd GW make this list?

OK, first off I would rank Jimmy Stewart as the LEAST surprising male college cheerleader. Second, wheres the photo of bush looking like a pansy in a v-neck sweater? I am sorely disappointed :-(

Hmm... Scoring a $40k/year job in the video games industry was not a disappointment. What did you major in?

What would our future 7th generation think of us?

Ah, Trent Lott, who probably enjoyed every moment at segregated Ole Miss: a flawed microcosym that sheltered privileged and entitled Southern kids like him from the real world. This is where the seeds were planted that later bloomed with his comment, "If Strom Thurmond had been elected president, then this country wouldn't have the problems that we now have."

I live in Mississippi, and Trent's uncle Gerome Watson (his mother's brother) drove my school bus, whereas his other uncle (Arnie Watson) was our state representative. He is actually a distant cousin on my mother's side, but I don't claim him as a relative any more than he would me.

I dunno about cheer leading, but in retrospect Ronnie should have worn a thicker helmet.

Growing up one of my favorite basketball players was Calvin Murphy out of Niagara University.

Besides being a great NBA point guard Calvin was a world class baton twirler . At the time I never heard of a guy twirling a baton so now when I look at men being cheerleaders it's no big deal.

John Bohener was a Cheerleader at Clown College before he flunked tanning 101. He has improved his clowning and tanning skills since.

Not for men. I don't want to look over and see a dude cheerleading that's not inspirational on the team. The only dudes in uniform I want cheering is my team from the bench and fans from the bleachers.

My comments are not intended to demean the participation in cheering of male cheerleaders. As evidenced by jimmy Stewart- who I believe flew missions in WWII. My comments were directed at Reagan and Bush, who, given their conservative chest beating, had every opportunity to go and fight A) Nazis and B) Communists while many patriotic men of their generation did the same thing--but neglected to do so. Reagan could have turned down his cushy assisgnment and demanded combat, as many other top athletes and entertainers did, but he chose not to. And yet, his macho persona somehow survived. Go figure.
