This Craigslist ad is so dull and bureaucratic that it might just be the real deal. Sadly, he’s smart enough to only solicit other “members” of Congress, so the outing potential is severely limited. MORE »

Let’s check in with the congressional staffers at The Capitolist, the Hill’s anonymous message board, shall we? MORE »

Late Night Shots — the closed social network which allows you to explore Washington DC’s social landscape and bar scene — has been such a success that its leaders are forced to divide the LNS crowd between the super-white cretins and the lesser lights of binge-drinking takedown-impregnating conservative youth forced to live amongst the minorities of DC before going back to San Diego and becoming a defense lobbyist.

Yes, there is a Great Schism. The invitation-only special forum will be seductively open for everyone to read, but only the upper crust will be able to opine on Muslims, morning-after pills and the “Ethiopians” who scurry about Adams Morgan. Everybody else is stuck in the “B Forum.” Read the memo, after the jump.

There are plenty of laughs in this National Journal article about the thousands of unemployed Republican staffers now begging for Bush Administration jobs, but our favorite is this part — which proves the GOP knew all along that the midterms would be a bloodbath:

And don’t miss the charming tale of the 23-year-old Capitool with all of nine months on the job before his MoC was defeated. We’ve collected a few gems from this turbo, after the jump.

You can never be too careful these days, which is why the polo-shirt-wearin’ cover-band-lovin’ young Republicans of the Capital Club have been instructed by somebody — lawyer? daddy? — to Remove the phrase “one of the foremost and respected clubs nationwide” and replace it with the sadly modest “a nationally recognized organization.” MORE »
