Hi folks, August here. Our undercover correspondents just sent me a set of photos from inside the College Republican National Convention, currently underway in beautiful Arlington, Virgina. Here's a handful of the best:
A college conservative proudly shows off his New England Patriot-esque President Bush jersey. A very good piece of merchandising, as it plays off the deep connection President Bush holds with his New England birthplace.
Judging from the number of empty beer cans under this college student's seat, we can only assume he's either really enjoying the speech going on, or really, really hating it. By the way, Conventionette informed me this photo was taken at 10:00 in the morning. Yikes.
Some dude who really likes Paul Gourley. Can you believe the fire alarm behind him isn't going off with that pose? Hawt.
Stickers for sale at the Convention.
I'm pretty sure these ties, which we may force our reporters to purchase just to prove someone actually made them, are the most astounding thing I've ever seen at a right-wing political event. And we've seen Ann Coulter speaking. Can you believe ties like this are only six bucks apiece? Like most of the plane tickets of the college students attending this shindig, we can only assume they're subsidized greatly by the Heritage Foundation.
Update: The power of seersucker compels you:

I also like the sticker "If you like freedom,
thank a veteran". It's not only true, it's ironic!
cute. Too bad he's joined the dark side. It would
be a lot sexier if he didn't have all that crappy
swag on him. Strike that, it'd be much better if
he didn't have anything on at all :-).
what bothers me is that i come to expect this stuff... but i guess that is because in my hometown i'm used to cars with Dubya stickers and confederate flag upholstery riding around... disgusting.
