"THE gravel driveway for the Potomac Polo Club is unmarked, but the 200 young men and women who traveled here, 45 minutes from Washington, knew they were at the right place when they spotted the black Hummer limousine and saw the crowd at the beer bong.
<snip>
Among the club members and their guests, most in their 20’s and 30’s, were White House staff members, Capitol Hill aides, lawyers, publicists and lobbyists. About 90 percent of club members are Republican, and 80 percent work in government. Barbara and Jenna Bush have been known to show up at some of the parties, six a year, which provide a glimpse of Washington’s young power elite with ties loosened, six years into the Republican domination of government."

Someone get these idiots an enlistment form! This is truly a disgusting article and it's in the FASHION section! Maybe they're drowning their cowardice.

4. Enlistment form? These pampered darlings?

Being exposed to all that dirt and blood and stuff? Yuck! That's only for POOR people, don't you know? Always has been, always will be. Besides, those uniforms are soooo tacky, and who would run things if Young Repukes were wasting time in the military?
