GIVE ME A BREAK
The New York Times is at it Again

For a few hearty laughs, be sure to read "The Young Hipublicans," by John Colapinto in today's New York Times Magazine. (Bonus: Photo of Norah Vincent look-alike!)

The magazine has run with this theme several times in the past, the most notable example being the infamous cover story about Washington's fun and hip young conservatives, the one featuring Laura Ingraham in a leopard-print mini-skirt.

The flag, guns, feminism, affirmative action, abortion, the family connections, the seed money from right-wing interest groups. There's nothing new here, right down to the complete lack of any intellectual foundation. Slogans, chants, and groans. Just like the big guys.
