Is Ann Coulter too spindely for you? Michelle Malkin too freaky? Christina Hoff Sommers too hoffy?
Let's face it, we need more young, blonde conservatives. We need them to work for a well-funded DC policy institute. We need them to oppose performances of plays and dramatic texts. If that play has the word vagina in it, good. If it has the word vagina in the title, great! If that vagina play raises money to fund domestic violence and rape crisis centers, greatest!
Of course, it doesn't matter if they actually have any supporters or not. If you meet the above critera and are a conservative, The Post will give you a fluff story on their front page of the Style section anyway. Meet Monique Stuart after the jump!
TBogg hearts Monique too!
As you can see, The Washington Post, TBogg and I are pretty excited about Monique, who I will hereafter refer to as the "Not Slutty Ann Coulter" or NSAC.
NSAC, according WaPo, is at the forefront of a conservative movement opposing V-Day benefit productions of Eve Ensler's play "The Vagina Monologues."
A woman like this has to be the real deal to be on the front page of any section of The Washington Post. She's on C1. That's hot.
She's credible, she's rational, she's understanding, she's everything that we've come to expect from the conservative movement in America.
Now before you get all uppity and claim that NSAC is just the latest in a long and disturbing trend of "mainstream" media outlets highlighting, misrepresenting, and overstating the influence of conservative voices, consider this:
NSAC had not 15, not 16, but SEVENTEEN young women attend her recent "Conservative Political Action Conference." Seventeen young, hot, conservative ladies, sitting around, in purple sweaters and white collared shirts, drinking apple juice, eating bagels. Try to contain yourselves.
She's also had "more than a dozen" directors from the College Republicans on a single conference call. Not just any conference call, either. When you get anywhere between 12-23 people on a single conference call, it automatically becomes a Conference Call of Legitimacy.
Sometimes, you even need multiple lines because the conference call bridge isn't working.
Those are the kind of hurdles that NSAC is overcoming to spread her message of female empowerment.
In keeping with the "guess a number between 10 and 20" theme, a quick Google News Search for her organization, the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, yields 11-14 hits for news stories(depending on if you want to include the scholarly articles from conservative Jedi temple- Townhall.com). Clearly, CBLPI is out there and being talked about.
A search for "V-Day" "Vagina Monologues" gives a scandlous 249 news stories. Why is V-Day so covered? I bet they're just giving it away for free. NSAC would never do that.
Lastly, and importantly for conservatives like us, NSAC is humble. Even though she works a group "with ties to some of Washington's most powerful conservatives," she doesn't brag about the impact that she's had on shutting down the Vagina Monologues.
In fact, the front page of the Clare Booth Luce website only list four "successful challenges" to The Vagina Monologues.
Cheers for Washington Post reporter Zach Goldfarb for dismissing the preening, attention-grabbing, $30 million-raising 2,700 documented V-Day events.
Clearly, NSAC and her V-Day Unveiled campaign are comparable with Eve Ensler and V-Day in terms of effect, fundraising, motivation, and support.
NSAC's the total package and she's changing the world and any article presenting her as such anything less is, at best, sloppy journalism, and at worst, grossly misleading.
FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY, The Washington Post has delivered a real piece of quality journalism for the rightwing, giving credibility and a platform to a woman that is having a real impact on college campuses across the country for the better.
I mean, it's not like through her opposition she's trying to deny funding for victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence or anything.
That would be lame. NSAC and I totally wouldn't get married then. I would hope that the Washington Post would never chose to elevate a woman like that or her efforts to any sort of mainstream attention.
That would be baffling.
