Carville and Begala, Zinging Them on Military Service


I'm halfway into Carville and Begala's latest, Take it Back. This from pages 132-33, in connection with their discussion about how to help with military recruitment:

"But, let's face it, has-been pop stars and never-was country singers are not going to fill our military. That's where the College Republicans come in. There are 120,000 College Republicans in this country. That's enough to fill six divisions--more than enough to meet our needs. Maybe we should let them form their own divisions: the Fighting Frat Boys or the 102nd Trust-Funders."

This is followed immediately by a copy of an enlistment form to pass along to our favorite members of the College Republicans.

I love it.
