There's a lot of fun to be had in this WaPo article about how the Republican Youth is so very, very sad nowadays.
David All glanced around Top of the Hill bar and saw the future of the Republican Party. It looked dim. A who's who of young conservatives had gathered, but they were few, and they were frustrated.
Here were the executive director of the Young Republicans, and the 20-something who helped steer Fred Thompsons Internet operation, and the young woman who put Mitt Romneys Web site on the map, and the 24-year-old staffer for Newt Gingrich's American Solutions for Winning the Future, who had brought them all together to cry in their free Blue Moon beer....
"You don't hear Barack Obama going around saying, 'I'm John F. Kennedy.' He's saying, 'I'm Barack Obama,' " All says. "There's a reason for that. He's inspiring an entire generation, and it's a generation that's trying to change the world in 160 characters or less through text messages."
And here is my favorite part:
And John McCain? His campaign has never sent All a text message, he complains.
That's probably for the best, you know. The only thing funnier than complaining about not getting a text message from John McCain would be actually getting a text message from John McCain.
A few years ago, there was a lot of goobering about how the latest fad was kids turning conservative and thinking the GOP was goovy. You don't hear much of that anymore. For some reason or other.
