Julian Assange Likes Spunk

Posted on | December 16, 2010 | 7 Comments

CNN’s got the online dating profile of the WikiLeaks dude from 2006:

WARNING: Want a regular, down to earth guy? Keep moving. I am not the droid you’re looking for. Save us both while you still can. Passionate, and often pig headed activist intellectual seeks siren for love affair, children and occasional criminal conspiracy.
Such a woman should [be] spirited and playful, of high intelligence, though not necessarily formally educated, have spunk, class & inner strength and be able to think strategically about the world and the people she cares about.

It was that “spunk” line that got me, and never mind the double-entendre. No, I was thinking of a famous line from the first episode of the old Mary Tyler Moore Show:

Lou Grant: You know what? You’ve got spunk.
Mary Richards: Well, yes . . .
Lou Grant: I hate spunk.

Julian Assange is no Lou Grant.
