He rushed sweaty Elvis; that’s a man worth loving

A war of words has broken out between former Hauser councilwoman D.J. Nall (a.k.a., Frum Helen Back) and her hubby of decades, Dave. To him, she’s “Feminazi.” To her, he has become “Chauvinist Pig” and is part of a “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.” (D.J. tells all about this in two recent posts on her blog, Hauser Thoughts.) It all started innocently enough with a cheap fan belt. In late January, Dave crowed to D.J. about checking prices before he bought a fan belt for $10.99 for a grandson’s car from a new parts store. D.J. ruined the mood by warning that you get what you pay for. The mood was ruined further a week later when the new belt broke. Rather than give in and buy one that’d work for three times the price at another parts store, Dave traded in the broken belt for another cheap one. As I write this, the grandson’s car is still running and D.J.’s stewing about her man not accepting advice from a woman. He, meanwhile, has sent her photoshopped pictures that make fun of the Clintons – and a surprise one that linked to an online Valentine with Elvis singing: “Have I told you lately that I love you.” D.J., of course, melted. She loves the song. Then, she remembered that time at a Presley concert in 1973 when her reserved husband joined her in rushing the stage. She wanted to see “The King” close-up. In fact, Dave tried to get a sweat-soaked Presley scarf for his sweatheart. Blogs D.J.: “At that moment I knew I would love him forever. It’s the sweet things a husband does that mean the most.” Even if he, like most men, is a Chauvinist Pig.
