'Second Gentleman' Doug Emhoff Brings the Cringe to Georgia

Pretty much everyone these days is familiar with the concept of the "beta male." Beta is the second letter in the Greek alphabet (Β/β), which implies the "beta male" is, to put it bluntly, second-rate. When I was a young man, we had less Greek, more coarse terms for such male specimens, but let's just go with the beta male for now. The Urban Dictionary defines a beta male thusly:

A beta male is a man who lacks masculine energy and adopts feminine characteristics, often faces problems or confrontations passive aggressively. A beta male is often taken advantage due to his "nice guy" persona.
Only a beta male apologizes to his wife after she cheats on him.

And, yes, I'm talking about Doug Emhoff. In an appearance Sunday in Cobb County, Georgia, where Emhoff was trying to prop up his wife's rapidly submerging presidential campaign (and we all know who wears the pantsuits in that household), he not only brought the cringe, but he laid it down thick as cold molasses on a stack of yesterday's flapjacks.

I mean, who takes to the stage to talk about a "bro hug" with another beta male? Doug Emhoff, that's who!

When Kamala and Tim took the stage for the first time together in Philadelphia 14 and a half weeks ago, I met him that one time in Minnesota but that was only the second time I met him, and I just got up on that stage and gave him the biggest bro hug in the world.

Yeah. Good luck restraining your gag reflex on that one. But wait! There's more!

I was just gonna say, my wife - such a badass!

Well, he got the first part right. She is bad - a bad vice president, a bad candidate, and a bad person. 

Note how his voice breaks - like a 14-year-old bragging about his first girlfriend. I think we're going to have to invent a whole new category of loser for this guy - I'd be tempted to call him an Omega male (Ω ω), except that would draw unfortunate comparisons to that great old 1971 Charlton Heston film, "The Omega Man," and it's for sure and for certain that Doug Emhoff never has been and never will be in the same league as Charlton Heston.

But it gets so much worse where this cringe-inducing horse's hiney is concerned.

A proper man, I would caution Doug Emhoff, does not strike a woman, much less so hard that she is spun around and nearly knocked off her feet.

Last week, 'Jane' recounted her story to DailyMail.com – including that Emhoff 'slapped me so hard I spun around,' and that Emhoff told her he was accused by his mistress of causing her to miscarry their baby.

Speaking of babies, I would likewise caution Mr. Emhoff that a proper man does not knock up his kid's nanny.

Sending this guy out on the campaign trail isn't just cringe-inducing. It's downright stupid. And that kind of bad judgment is why Kamala Harris is losing.
