One of the wildest of all political children was of course Eleanor Mondale the daughter of Vice President Walter Mondale. Born to progressive parents of the most liberal bent she enjoyed an active and varied sex life during her father’s term as Vice President. She was reputed to have dated many athletes and musicians but her most famous exploits were with the offensive line of the Washington Redskins. She was the person that gave them the nickname the “Hogs” which did not refer to their stature or physique or eating habits but rather to their large penises of which she was extremely fond. She became a byword around the NFL and the New York Giants nicknamed their blitz package the Eleanor Mondale which meant they had to go through the entire offensive line. And “Hog” has passed into the popular vernacular as a slang term for penis all due to the efforts of the inimitable Ms. Mondale.

oooo...Is that that dude from Dancing With The Stars, Lawerence Taylor?
I've been kind of sick with flu this week, Mein Trooper!
Hope you feel better dude. Lots of fluids and chicken soup. We missed you.
I didn't know Ron was sick.
Now I feel out-of-the-loop and like a horrible person.
My mother went to a tea for the Naval Officers' Wives Clubs of Washington (NOW COW) that Mrs. Mondale hosted at what used to be the CNO's house at the Observatory. Mrs. M was all by herself in one room 'til my Mom grabbed a friend and went up to speak to her. They talked about the Jugtown pottery my mother recognized on the mantel. That doesn't mean it was from Hollywood, it's from NC.
Eleanor was somewhere boffing the sailors that ran the place.
Jerry Ford's son Steve was in my sister's high school class and dated a girl a few houses up the street. When his dad became VP their senior year, he dumped her to play the (much larger) field.
Huh. So that's where the Hogs come from. How about loafs? Was Mondale responsible for that also?
