No, not the jackets, but the sporty new message board and schmoozing community of rich white Republicans drinking on Mommy and Daddies dime!

Cover Article from the Washington City Paper

The three guys sitting at the bar at Town Hall in Georgetown swear it’s a true story: A friend of theirs called a buddy in the middle of a sexual conquest, placing his cell phone out of view. When the voice mail picked up, it recorded him asking his lady, “You like that Republican cock?”

The guys are wearing golf shirts and drinking Miller Lites. They’ve been telling raunchy tales about what happens after dark in Georgetown, playing toward expectations. They know I’m a reporter on assignment. At first, the sordid tales of preppy hookups just make me laugh.

Then the bearded one in the middle busts out with this: “Do you like anal sex?” I squint. I’m confused. “Do you do anal?” he repeats, head bobbing with excitement. The litany continues. Do I want to take it in the ass? Have I ever taken it in the ass? My silence is taken as an affirmative and he announces that this interview will go no further unless he receives a hand job. I retreat into a hole carved out during similar sessions in high school and head for the door.

Late Night Shots caters to Washington’s hard-partying preppy crowd. Think of a new generation of young Republicans getting trashed at St. Elmo’s, hooking up, then writing about it at 3 in the morning. The bar-scene-themed Web site launched in late spring 2006 and has since branched out to four other cities. But it’s nowhere near as popular anywhere else as it is here in D.C. Founder Reed Landry, a prep-school boy from McLean, Va., claims he has 14,500 members and that a third of them visit the site every day. He and partner Neel Patel say they make enough money from Google ads and banner ads to abandon outside employment.

Having lived in DC for a long time, I know a lot of these people. While I feel taking things out of context from online bulletin boards is unfair (as DU has been subject to by right-wing blogs on multiple occasions) I do feel that the article does give a fair idea of how these people behave.

This is the future of the republican party folks.

Considering that the folks I was reading about are the pool from which our "future leaders" will be chosen made it kind of a scary read, but entertaining (in a trainwreck sort of way) at the same time.

I'm in the same age range and live in the same country as this "elite" group, but out here in "flyover country" I may as well be living in a different world. Some of these people go so far beyond the worst stereotypes associated with them it's frightening.



The comments section has some "classic" material as well. Worth reading if you have nothing better to do (or are putting it off, like me...)

A few highlights:


>>At the end of the day, they hate because they are jealous. Jealous of our priviledge, jealous of our economic success, jealous of our fun. I hate to say it but they hate us for the same reasons the terrorists do. Perhaps that's why they all want us to withdraw from Iraq and hand victory to al Qaeda on a silver platter? Ok, I better stop before I go off on a major tangent/rant here. >>


>>This article was written with the purpose to make us important people look like classless assholes because the author is poor, ugly, and of course jealous.

Ok, back to cheerleading for wars I will never fight in. Hell, I'm terrified of scary Adams Morgan. Too bad we can't sue the terrorists into submission and instead have to rely on poor, redneck, losers that go to dive bars to fight them instead.>>


>>I own loafers and a red polo shirt and I like anal sex. How do I join this LNS? >>


>>This is merely practice for the future (albeit on a smaller scale). When Daddy retires from his job of screwing the country up the ass out of a twisted sense of entitlement and conquest, Junior will already be groomed and ready to take the helm.>>
