Washington City Paper: Members Only (Young D.C. Republican social networking site)
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?"

...

Later, at home, I decide to find the fellows online. It�s easy to do since these were no run-of-the-mill meatheads. All three are members of Late Night Shots, a very exclusive, invite-only social-networking Web site. The anal-sex proposition came from John Tabacco, a 25-year-old graduate of Georgetown Prep and Denison University. His friends were both graduates of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

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.

...

The Late Night Shots online forum, launched last August, provides comedic fodder for liberal D.C. commentators, especially the gossip blog Wonkette, which started a weekly feature called Last Week�s Shots. Forum posters have made light of date rape, bashed brunettes, and compared notes on handouts from Mummy and Daddy. A classic thread:

1. Perhaps the Army could locate a recruiting office nearby?
I'm sure these young republicans would be anxious to go to Iraq to fight for our freedoms, oops their daddy's oil stocks.

2. The comments
On the article are the best. You see the true nature of the poor dears when they immediately attack the author.

Fucking assholes. I wouldn't wish those spoiled overentitled sorry excuse for a waste of DNA on the real human beings in the military. Let 'em get a jobs with Blackwater now that some of them are claiming to have been fired over the article.

Gah! I grew up with people like that. The summer folk around here are AWFUL. Sorry excuses for human beings.

4. Not my kind of crowd, for sure, BUT, I do agree with one of the posters...
It was not necessary to post the full names of the people she interviewed.

Naming names in this case does sound vindictive.

I would hope, although not with a lot of optimism, that these young adults will grow up soon...
