The 'GOP Hipster' Is a Pampered Babbling Sack of Horse Hockey

Say, Republicans: Have you heard of these "millennials"? Did you know they're hurting economically, and they vote? Well, of course you know they vote. You've tried for so long to make it harder, because they don't vote for you so much. But hey, there's another solution: Make stuff up!

Enter Scott Greenberg, a 30-year-old ad guy with a cool shirt, the sort of shirt Adam might wear on Girls. Scott is a hipster. Scott is young. Scott is concerned about paying for things. That's why Scott is a Republican, the face of a new GOP-sponsored ad campaign running in 14 swing Senate states this election cycle.

... But I'm not convinced this is a serious effort, any more than the GOP's half-hearted, comically failing efforts at online crowdsourcing, grassroots outreaching, cyber innovating, or Hispanic bridge-building. It's not as if they made a truly bold ad showing Scott talk about how glad he is that his gay friends can finally share work benefits through marriage because so many GOP leaders have acceded to public opinion on that particular issue. They didn't make that ad because they don't want to alienate, you know, real Republicans.

More likely, an old donor wants to see some youth outreach, and the RNC finds Scott, a young Beltway acolyte to provide them with a simulacrum of youth culture for a couple of shekels. We have the horn-rimmed glasses! The pomaded hair! A brick tenement across a city street! Talk of money problems and friends!

1. Hipster? He looks like one old out of touch rich geezer turned to his fellows at the club

and asked what the young poeple are wearing these days. Then they took him to a store and dressed him.

2. Not one frayed edge on his way hip jacket...

the zippers are factory fresh and the buttons have that unscratched matte finish. It COULD be a used cop's coat.

4. He looks like he might just have enough

talent to remember to check to make sure he isn't dragging toilet paper on his shoe. I could be wrong, though. He might not even be able to do that.

11. In effort to reach out to younger voters, GOP plans to couple their long-standing efforts to outlaw

abortion, birth control, and all non-procreative sex, with demands that the Obama administration immediately start incarcerating millions of pot smokers, especially in states like Colorado and Washington.

Now, watch the young people come a'flockin!

12. I like MY hipsters supporting a 33-year failure that puts their generation even FURTHER in debt!

Oh, and don't forget "inevitable and useless wars of choice".

Wait, dude, are you driving an AUDI?
