RE: Inter-Party Dating
Where else but at NRO would this be a topic of interest to ‘non-elitist’ dedicated conservapundits. don’t want to sound SEXIST but from the topics you find worthy, one could be forgiven for wondering if you were an affirmative action hire. Maybe that explains your ire whenever the subject comes up. Could it be that you are afraid attention might focus on you & your qualifications?

Maybe we’re just highlighting some smart, hard-working folks in D.C. who don’t take themselves too seriously and can discuss a light topic now and again.

The tone of the day is getting so ridiculous. (Getting…?) And to what end?
