	Merkin Muffley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Merkin Muffley was the President of the United States in the 1964 movie Dr.
		Muffley's character was played by Peter Sellers, as were those of Group Captain Lionel Mandrake and Dr. Strangelove himself.
		The name consists of two crude references: the first, merkin, is a pubic wig; the second, muff, is slang for the female genitals.

	AUE: FAQ excerpt: "merkin"
		It actually means "pubic wig" (such wigs are used, apparently, in the theatrical and film worlds as modesty devices in nude scenes).
		Then "merkin" was coined afresh to mean "an American", because it sounds a bit like the half-swallowed pronunciation of "American" by some Americans, particularly President Lyndon Johnson; and the fact that it had a "naughty" meaning didn't hurt.
		This gets two risque' locutions past the censor at once, since "muff" is another slang term for female genitals or pubic hair (as in "muff-diving" for cunnilingus).

		"Merkin" is a word that I've been hearing in conversation for a few years now.
		Merkin does have some currency, especially on the Internet, as a term for 'an American' or 'American English'; this is punning on a pronunciation of American.
		Merkin is first attested in the early seventeenth century.

		Sellers was a master of accents, and in addition to the title character, he also created a bland American voice for President Merkin Muffley and a stiff-upper-lip English style for Captain Mandrake.
		Whether apocryphal or not, the story goes that Sellers had a difficult time developing a Texas accent for the fourth part he was cast in, Major "King" Kong, who rides the bomb down rodeo-style at the end of the film.
		In the aborted fight, President Muffley was smacked in the face with a pie and fell over, prompting General Turgidson to cry out, "Gentlemen, our gallant young president has just been struck down in his prime by a pie!" a line considered tasteless in light of recent events.

		Muffley was at first written in the script and played by Sellers as broad slapstick.
		In fact, the footage of Muffley's entrance into the War Room had to be scrapped because of the incessant laughter on the set, after which Kubrick decided for Sellers to play Muffley completely straight.

		The lunacy of Ripper's rant is soon undercut; President Merkin Muffley is a horrific illustration of Ripper's rebutal of Clemenceau's comment.
		Sniveling and innefectual, Muffley lacks the "time, training, (and) inclination for strategic thought." These are not the kind of skills that earn a man a spot behind the desk in the Oval Office.
		When faced with the option of total commitment to nuclear war, Muffley objects on the grounds that he does not want "to go down in the history books as the worst mass murderer since Adolph Hitler." He does not find mass murder empirically wrong.

		Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) calmly informs him that he gave the command to attack the Soviet Union because it was high time someone did something about fluoridation, which is sapping Americans' bodily fluids (and apparently has something to do with Ripper's sexual dysfunction).
		Meanwhile, President Merkin Muffley (Sellers again) meets with his top Pentagon advisors, including super-hawk Gen. Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott), who sees this as an opportunity to do something about Communism in general and Russians in particular.
		However, the ante is upped considerably when Soviet ambassador DeSadesky (Peter Bull) informs Muffley and his staff of the latest innovation in Soviet weapons technology: a "Doomsday Machine" which will destroy the entire world if the Russians are attacked.

		But, no. I just want to focus on Merkin Muffley, whose name equals love, at least from a perverse phallocentric angle.
		More phallocentrist language I believe I learned from Simone de Beauvoir.) Of course "merkin" and "muffley" do not stand for "love." Except in that testosterone soaked world of Dr. Stranglove, where 'Buck' Turgidson is there to save the day.
		Yeah, he's got a name with the same meaning as does the President in Dr. Strangelove.

		Armed with the code, President Muffley's War Room staff is able to recall all of the bombers that haven't been shot down except the one piloted by crafty Maj. T.J. "King" Kong (Slim Pickens), who guides his damaged plane through the Soviet defenses on its way to a secondary target.
		President Muffley (also Sellers) explains the situation to the Soviet Premier (we never see him), who informs Muffley that if a nuclear bomb goes off in Russia then a Russian Doomsday device will destroy the world.
		Inside there are many classic bits: gum chewing Gen. Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott) explaining to Muffley what Ripper has done; Muffley having hilarious Bob Newhart-type conversations over the hot line; Strangelove (who's not in the film enough) trying to stop his out-of-control metal hand (which automatically gives a Nazi salute) from strangling him.
