“I’d like to see Obama naked. I think great leaders, charismatic leaders and men who are so confident and who have achieved so much, usually have big penises. I think there’s a correlation between the level of confidence, the level of the way a man can hold a room and the way he conducts himself in life, with his penis size – with his comfort with his penis size. So much of male psyche is taken up with how big your cock is; it’s a huge deal in our lives, and so when you’re confident about your penis size, it shows. Well, just look at him. Just the way he’s so kind of elegant and very confident in his body and himself. Also, someone told me that they worked out with him in a gym in Chicago, and it was big.”— Actor Alan Cumming revealing to New York Magazine that he’s a power-broker size queen.

Hey Alan? Shut the fuck up.

@scott: TOTALLY! What dumbsh!t. These UK fags need a reality check.
Steff
‘These UK fags?’
I assure you, he doesn’t speak for all of us. 😉
Alexa
So none of you would want to see Obama naked? Or is just that he should shut up about it?
tara
@scott: Hey scott, Shut the fuck up, just look at him, really shut up and look.
tara
@Darth Paul: Hey, how bout you stop using fag? Jackass.
Frunced
He should just shut up about it. It’s just a transparent way to get publicity anyway.
Gregoire
Did people ever talk about George W. Bush’s cock? *shudders* Or is this just a Democrat thing?
Darth Paul
@tara: How about NO, you slag…

We’re not allowed to call each other fags? I thought it was a term of endearment when used amongst us, like blacks and the “N” word.
I don’t see anything wrong with what Alan said. It’s not like he came out and gave a speech about our president’s genitals. It was probably some random statement cherry picked from an interview. I’ve always suspected that President Obama’s got a big one, too.

Thanks for representin’…asshole!

It’s so funny to read these comments and how most of you take this thing so literally. Since we can’t tell Alan Cumming’s tone when he stated this about Obama…we don’t know whether he’s joking or not. But still, it’s just an expression. I’m sure Obama is smart enough not to give in and actually pose naked. It’s one man’s opinion – there’s no need to use homophobic slurs.

@Darth Paul:
Yes, I’m sure Cummings ACTUALLY wants to see some Obama cock. Get over it. It was a joke.
And last time I checked, the word fag(got) isn’t so endearing, not even between gay men. So why use it? It only gives straight people an excuse to use the word. It’s a word that derives its negative energy from its attack on a specific innocent trait. So really, why use it?
Michael W.
@Coffee&Chicory: “It’s a word that derives its negative energy from its attack on a specific innocent trait. So really, why use it?”
At the same time we’re also stripping the word of that negative energy and taking control of it as ours. The haters wouldn’t be so quick to pull it out and wield it like a weapon if they knew it didn’t effect us in the way they want.
Words only have as much power as you allow them.

@Gregoire: I remember various female commentators rhapsodising about what a great ass GWB had (as opposed to was). And Sarah Palin’s relative success among the masses was as much to do with her being a MILF as much as it did with her being a headbangingly dim moose-botherer. Speculation about the sexiness of a political leader isn’t new or particularly American. Look back through history and you’ll find that portraits of kings and princes always gave them generous cod-pieces.

Seriously, though: who gives a shit what this guy thinks about *anything* really? That’s what I don’t get. Minor celebrity =\= wisdom.
alan brickman
very dissapointed in alan reinforcing gay cliches….no wonder some people think gays are shallow…
Cole
Alan Cumming is Z List and he obviously did this for press. Who cares what he has to say? This is the same man who launched a cologne called Cumming a couple years ago. Who in the world would want to smell like that skank? He is delusional and does whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight.
adzomelk
im with alan all the way i REALLY want to see obamas cock hes very sexy very hawt oh yeah & hes a guy i want to see obamas cock i want to see obamas cock in fakt i want to see alans cock too
carter
it doesn’t sound like he is being subversive or witty. An honest, if not lamentable, confession* from an obviously uninspired gasbag.
*for the record, my penis is LIKE so HUGE.
Leland Frances
Kidnap Boy George.
Take him to top of 20-story building.
Drop him on Cumming.
Two huge steps forward toward gay rights being taken seriously…
What???? We WON against Prop H8TE? There is no DOMA or DADT? Matthew Shepard and Harvey Milk are alive and living together in South America?
Never mind.
kira
shut the hell up asshole. gays are not shallow so shub it up your ass.
glennmcgahee
He should ask Larry Sinclair. He described it down to detail including some type of birthmark. YUK.
vernonvanderbilt
Maybe I’m out of the loop on such things, but I don’t get the hostility toward Cumming. I happen to like him, myself.
And yeah, I’d like to see Obama naked. In my opinion, he’s the seond sexiest president ever, after Martin Van Buren. Gotta respect the muttonchops.
Puddy Katz
Of all the things that one could say about Obama, and all the issues in the world to talk about, Mr. Cummings picks this one. It furthers the stereotype that all gay men think about is cock.
I second the idea that he only did it for media attention and that he doesn’t care one bit about how much this furthers a stereotype. It’s also just not very funny or witty.
Joanne
3 cheers for Leland! Great idea on dropping Boy George on Cumming. Throw George Michael in the mix and then it would be a perfect plan.
Steven
Alan Cumming has an impish sense of humour and will say anything if he thinks it will get a rise out of people. I don’t see what half the people here are so upset about.

A Menage a Trois! Positively delightful. lol
