Getting to Know the GOP

By David Brooks | October 6, 2011

There have been plenty of opportunities to poke fun at the president over the last few years, such as incorporating drinking games into the State of the Union Address (the phrase "let me be clear" was easily responsible for the most shots taken since his inauguration).

Yoon Ji Kim / The Dartmouth Staff "I have the opportunity to join a brotherhood bigger than myself!" Subtext: Your "brothers" are oh so happy you'll be cleaning their basement for the next year. "But I met so many strong upperclasswomen!" Subtext: That really bitchy senior from your gov seminar was forced to acknowledge you for approximately one minute before dinging you. Sorry we're not sorry: This is The Mirror, and we tell it like it is. Now that we've outraged everyone, we'd like to explain ourselves.
