Metrosexual Abraham Lincoln, Hipster Rutherford B. Hayes, Freegan Chester A. Arthur and more
When the New York Times reported that a Mitt Romney-affiliated Super PAC was considering attacking President Obama for falsely crafting the persona of a “black, metrosexual Abe Lincoln,” the obvious way to respond was with revulsion. The other way, however, was with delight. Insidious purposes no doubt motivated its creation, but the phrase “metrosexual Abe Lincoln” offers an anachronistic juxtaposition that’s very much worth contemplating. (“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth skinny jeans…”) Indeed, with so many other presidents to choose from, why stop at Lincoln? “
