Report: D.C. Dems getting more action since the election

I would have said “getting laid more” but I’m not sure what management’s policy is on using that phrase in headlines. No matter. As long as the word “balls” is fair game, there’s a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Like Andrew Jackson said, my friends — to the victors goes the nookie.
The bottom line: Romantic opportunities have increased for Democrats. For one thing, there are now more of them around Capitol Hill — all the better for socializing. And some aides and political experts have noticed that Democrats have begun to dress the part and are looking better…
As one Democratic campaign strategist remarked, “Taking back the majority certainly has its perks. With the shift in power has come a shift in social standing for once-shunned Democratic operatives. It seems everyone from lowly interns to nerdy policy wonks have a full dance card so long as they have a ‘D’ behind their name.”
The strategist added that perks aren’t limited to normal social interactions: “Not only are Dems getting more dates, they are getting better tables at restaurants and they are not waiting in line at exclusive clubs.”
They’re the alpha males now. For the time being, all we are, all we can hope to be … is wingmen. Heart-ache.
Still, hope springs eternal:
One female staffer admitted that she wasn’t interested in Democratic guys, even though they are in the majority and she shares the same political views.
“I am sooooo not into Dem guys even though I am a Dem,” the aide wrote in an e-mail. “Republican boys are generally more attractive, sharper dressers and throw better parties.”
Follow the link for reax from amateur prostitute Jessica Cutler, a.k.a. “Washingtonienne,” who sniffs at the inexpensive cars driven by Dem staffers even though (as the Hill pointedly notes) she herself is unemployed, and also from Nation editor David Corn, who names a local left-wing hottie he’s had his eye on. Hint: it ain’t KP.

So are congressional limos called pussy wagons now? It works both ways!
lorien1973 on May 16, 2007 at 1:59 PM
Let’s rein it in a tad, folks.
Allahpundit on May 16, 2007 at 2:00 PM
Sorry Allah. Evidently extreme jealously brings out the worst in us.

Come on Allah, you started it!

Yes ladies, it’s all about the Dem strategists…it most definitely is.

I’m surprised The Hill has so much time and resources to waste on a stupid story.
Laddy on May 16, 2007 at 2:40 PM
I know I’m nitpicking here, but I’m seeing alot of this.
When one is “Democratic” isn’t that an adjective? As opposed to being a “Democrat” which is a noun.
For example, I can be democratic without being a democrat.
As in “I believe in the democratic way of doing things, although I’m not a democrat.”
Aren’t we all democratic?
It’s just one of those little things that drives me nuts.
AteMyFoot on May 16, 2007 at 2:43 PM
I’ll bet Fred♥ is still doing OK. (Can’t believe I’ve been using computers for 20 years and never knew about this ‘alt’ key thingy.)
RedWinged Blackbird on May 16, 2007 at 2:49 PM
Gah!! That Pelosi pic is always horrifying. She looks demented.
Bad Candy on May 16, 2007 at 2:52 PM
How’d you do that?
lan astaslem on May 16, 2007 at 2:57 PM
You would wingman for a Dem?
I… I don’t think I know you.

Rick on May 16, 2007 at 3:00 PM
Huh, Allah seems to have created a… pantie raid?! :-} of sorts….
Let’s see, looks…. Harry The Cadaver Reid.
Ted The Bloated Tick Kennedy, Nancy Botox Pelosi…..
The names say is all. I could go across the isle, but I won’t.
And Allah wants us to “rein it in”. Please to explain “to the victors goes the nookie.” Plus you said …. “balls”, actually MM did but I digress.
Remember the Press Secretary Jerry Ross played by Martin Short in Mars Attacks. Kinda reminds me of this, ya tink.
Kini on May 16, 2007 at 3:01 PM
No wonder they fight tooth and nail for power. It all comes down to getting laid, better seats in restaurants and having your ass kissed and keeping everything you can steal.
TheBigOldDog on May 16, 2007 at 3:02 PM
Guess this means the Libertarians will be going extinct.
Limerick on May 16, 2007 at 3:05 PM
Priorities.
Rick on May 16, 2007 at 3:06 PM
Alt 3 (using the numeric keys on the right of the keyboard)
RedWinged Blackbird on May 16, 2007 at 3:06 PM
nah, since the straddle the fence in most cases, they must get invited to all the parties. When they are with Reps they talk economics when they are with the Dems they talk legalizing drugs and keeping Gov out of the bedroom.
TheBigOldDog on May 16, 2007 at 3:07 PM
Careful, AP, stay out of those DC bars – you never know who you might end up with (especially with your attitude on this subject).
Rick on May 16, 2007 at 3:11 PM
That’s a rotten thing to do to people. You should give a guy a warning you know – sheez, now I am blind! LOL!
TheBigOldDog on May 16, 2007 at 3:13 PM
They are so not the alpha males; they don’t even know what that means. And if anyone is setting the choice tables for them at D.C. restaurants, it’s other guys, if you know what I mean.
(And another thing: I am listening to Medved replay some of the lowlights from your hero Hitchens the Atheist ripping on Jerry Falwell, and it is truly pathetic. Is Hitchens drinking again?
I would have sworn that these comments were far, far beneath him, if I wasn’t hearing his voice spewing them. Truly it is an embarrassment, and a public repudiation of his reputation as an intellectual. These insults are juvenile, incorrect, and anti-intellectual.)
Jaibones on May 16, 2007 at 3:19 PM
Not the Conservative Libertarians like me. We do talk economics, but not legalizing all drugs. We like less government, especially in the bedroom. We believe Global Warming is really Global Grifting.
While the Dems and Reps hold positions of non-conservationism, Conservative Libertarianism seems pretty attractive.
Kini on May 16, 2007 at 3:20 PM
ah, crap. No wonder. All I have is my laptop keyboard. I “googled” it — let me try a different way. Does this work? ♥
lan astaslem on May 16, 2007 at 3:27 PM
rats — guess not. oh well
lan astaslem on May 16, 2007 at 3:28 PM
Did you see that link on Drudge? About Pelosi is going to shut down the floor to republicans?
Enoxo on May 16, 2007 at 3:32 PM
…and water is wet. Liberals are focused on relationships, and looks (versus substance). Revelations.
Thread aside,
If it doesn’t work, enable the Num Lock key first. And don’t stop at trying 1-9 only. Keep going with Alt+11, or +12, etc. You’ll be surprised.
Kini, conservative libertarianism sounds very good to me.
Entelechy on May 16, 2007 at 3:32 PM
Yup. And I didn’t understand a word of it. I’m not up on Roberts Rules, I guess.
Maybe it’s just Democratic men trying to act tough to win the ladies back from the big scary date-thievin’ Republicans.

Got it. Type what you typed, then add a semi-colon at the end.
Slublog on May 16, 2007 at 3:36 PM
Isn’t that what most politicians are interested in?

dead-duck on May 16, 2007 at 3:37 PM
oops, my arrow turned into an html comment and blocked the end of my post, I guess ;) What I was trying to say there was that it works on my laptop, use numlock and the numberpad 3, not regular 3…. but I see others beat me to it ;)
dead-duck on May 16, 2007 at 3:40 PM
They were right. When Bush is elected, he would crush dissent. Boo-yeah!

William Amos on May 16, 2007 at 3:42 PM
Even when I was liberal I liked the Republican boys: they open doors, they rarely ever forget birthdays or anniversaries and they take you to nice restaurants for occasions, they’re better looking, more manly – hell – my husband was a Republican and I a Democrat, (who mostly voted Green Party!) when we married! They’re also better at u-know-what in my experience.
foxforce91 on May 16, 2007 at 3:44 PM
Endearing, sexy and ‘progressive’, indeed!
Entelechy on May 16, 2007 at 3:44 PM
Now, now, my golf game is nothing to brag about.
see-dubya on May 16, 2007 at 3:50 PM
Pelosi just can’t understand why they’ve got nothing done. Even on things they’ve strong-armed, bribed, and won in vote is still nothing in the end, only left lingering. The liberal children do not know how to run a government, hopefully in 2008 the adults can be put back in charge.
Enoxo on May 16, 2007 at 3:51 PM
Spot On my friend! Too often it’s all about playing up for the camera and stroking ones ego. For that matter, having a conversation seems to of more substance than actual accomplishments.
It’s like the character Everett in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou. Leaving all those cans of Dapper Dan around leaves a trail to where the sheriff can find you whilst caring only about how slick back your hair is.
As Allah point out…
Power suits sometimes don’t fit the person(s) character inside.

Can’t help you there. Never owned a laptop (or a cell phone).

I ♥ the codes, but I will be ☻ if there is a flood of ☺ people using them. But will ♂ use them more than ♀? Will → wingers use them more or ← wingers? If we move ► maybe it won’t happen. I think it’s time for me to ■ before I get thrown off the discussion board.

Stormy,
I don’t know what kind of portable you have, but it should have an Fn key (my Toshiba’s is blue and in the lower left corner of the keyboard between Ctrl and Alt). On my regular letter keys, there are blue numbers, so if I hold down Fn and J, I get a 1 from the numberic keypad.
So to get the character, hold down Fn (to access the number pad numbers that are on the letter keys), Ctrl (because that’s what gets you the funny characters), and type the number(s) on the keypad.
Hope that makes sense.
LibbyLA on May 16, 2007 at 4:22 PM
So…will Fred♥ provoke more moonbattery than Fred!?
RedWinged Blackbird on May 16, 2007 at 4:25 PM
Hey Stormy, turn on numlock on your laptop (fn key + something, it’s scroll lock on mine), then hold down alt and type the numberpad 3 (will be on your regular keyboard, it’s L on mine), let go of alt and “walla”, a ♥ will appear.
Or, you can type in ♥ ; without the space before the ; and it should work? (testing: ♥ …?)
With the code, the heart will (or won’t) appear once you post. If you use the number pad it’ll show up instantly in the text box.
With respect to the thread topic, my only comment is: ♥-ache :P
dead-duck on May 16, 2007 at 4:27 PM
***Sigh*** I knew it.

AteMyFoot on May 16, 2007 at 4:29 PM
CtrlAlt (because that’s what gets you the funny characters), and type the number(s) on the keypad.Hope that makes sense.

Just pretend Allah. At some of the “GI” bars in Japan there were more self claimed F15 pilots on a given night than there were F15s in the entire inventory! Just give them someone else’s phone number.
