That's a real good trait for the Governor of California. Nor does being a misogynist pig disqualify him from that job. There's a good chance that I would have voted for him. Like I said, we seem to have similar politics. FWIW, my distaste for bullies is probably greater than my distaste for pigs, but platform is what really matters in an elected official.

I don't think it's "bully" per se. It's German. Churchill said about the Germans, "Germans are either at your throat or at your feet." They have a more overt way of establishing the pecking order. Americans have a completely different way of dealing with the pecking order than Germans, or for that matter, Brits, Japanese, etc.
