Young College Republican Leader: Troops Love Beef Jerky
These interviews, published on the HuffPost and BlogActive earlier in the week, will offer some insight into what's on the minds of young college Republicans these days. This is Ben Johnson, the state chairman of the Iowa Federation of College Republicans, who leads a flock of 7,000 young devotees.
Make sure not to miss the second part about the Support the Troops grill-out and our soldiers' love of beef jerky.

He sends beef jerky to the troops and gives self-indulgent interviews. What a patriot! What sacrifices he makes for freedom!
As an Army veteran I look at this healthy young man and wonder why he's not putting his money where his pretty mouth is and enlisting in this war he supports. I suppose it would muss his fabulous hairdo.

MMM...beef jerky - but irregardless, can we all just stop - it's not a word
regardless is great but irregardless not so much

he said irregardless...

Wow, so much excitement for beef jerky!!
And "Irregardless" - glad to see he's following Bush's lead by making up his own words. Wow again.

"love the beef jerky", surprising he didn't say the fabulous beef jerky. He is a big closet case. I tell you one thing, even though he is an airhead, if he is tapping in the stall next to me, I will be answering that call. But I will take him back to my place, I am discreet after all.

Listen ladies, I don't care what non-words he uses, let's just say it... hubba, hubba. This reminds me of the time that I was approached by the hottest Mormon in the world, I listened to him for an hour... got lost in his Mormon eyes. This one is the same way, just shut up and take off your pants. ;)

Love that rolling eyes overture. So masculine!

Here I was hoping I could be the first to mock "irregardless"... I love that they raise "hundreds" of dollars. Whew! Quite the effort.

"I I I me me me I me me I I I I I I...ME"
Yes, exactly, Sam. Well said.

Flunked!
I give him credit for at least attempting to collect the goods that may be shipped, no matter how self-aggrandizing he is, although I would have loved to have heard him say "...Ahh, if they want The Advocate, or Out," but of course, THAT'S never going to happen. Upon closer inspection however, I must disagree. Sissy does NOT have fabulous hair. Honey, there is nothing worse (at this very moment, of course) than a chicken fat yellow frost capping on a mousy brown douchebag playing cutesieface for the camera. He hasn't earned that fagtag yet, boys. Let's not be TOO eager to claim him.

Gayer than me. Future closeted congressman?
Posted by: secretagentman | Nov 16, 2007 11:10:34 AM
Honest to god, are there ANY straight College Republicans left in America?
The gaydar is pinging at MAXIMUM HOMO!
Alliterately speaking, I'm beginning to think that College Republicans is nothing more than a covert clearing house for conservative, closeted cocksuckers.

Oh my Gawd, does he know how GAY he sounds. Dont get me wrong i support the soldiers on the ground.... I just think this young republican is GAY as hell!!!
Posted by: Mark | Nov 16, 2007 11:17:59 AM
JM, I totally disagree and I would like to think most of us here would disagree also. A cute face or nice body are a dime a dozen. People who want to screw everyone who simple has an attrative face usually go by a couple of words starting with h--- and s---. For me, you can look like a god, but if you have the personality of a snail, I won't give you a second thought. I hate to use the cliche, but it's what is on the inside that turns me on more than anything.

Yellow ribbons! Beef jerky packages! But I'm way too busy to join the military! Raising 100s of dollars! I'm a super patriot!
Do these Young Republicans actually believe the shit that dribbles out of their mouths?
Posted by: homer | Nov 16, 2007 11:54:38 AM
god, what a pompous, preening popinjay that little pansy is! SAM, got it right.
what fund raiser will her pretty li'l ol' head come up with next? i can just hear her, "I know! we can use billy's barn, make some costumes, put on a show, sell tickets and raise tons of beef-jerky money."
what an insufferable prick.

"pompous, preening popinjay"
Nic, that was perfect!
Posted by: sam | Nov 16, 2007 11:59:30 AM
Wow! I was wondering what happened to Scott Wolf from "Party of Five". He's researching the role of a young Republican in Iowa who leaves it all to travel to LA to frost the tips of aspiring boy-band members. Don't know if the kid is gay, but he certainly is a tool! We should start a national campaign to send this lots of beef jerky, just cross out the 'beef' and the 'y' on the label!
Posted by: BuckeyeWxGuy | Nov 16, 2007 12:03:37 PM
OMG this guy was so cute until he said "irregardless"!
Posted by: Asher | Nov 16, 2007 12:14:42 PM
omigod, He looks just like this closet-case I had a fling with in college who was a Senator's son (and Republican at that), but a good lay. What a deja vu. Too bad I didn't video that one.
Cute though. Will probably wind up an aspiring actor one day (or in Washington).
Posted by: Jordan | Nov 16, 2007 12:19:36 PM
Yup, this PPP (^5 Nic) done broke the gaydar. The needle spun twice 'round dial before shattering.
He needs to visit an out gay hairdresser STAT. Do-it-yourself tip jobs almost always leave one looking like a pizza waitress on leave from her night job.
This video is going to haunt him when he is inevitably forced to come to terms with his homosexuality. Future Senator Brigham Anderson.

Another stupid chickenhawk conflating 9/11 and Iraq. And you know what soldiers would like more than beef jerky, you frosty-locked Mary?
A young able-bodied college guy to take their place for a tour so they can go home and see their families.
Fucking hate these people. And hwo loves the war in Iraq? No one should love the war.
GRRRRR
Posted by: Marco | Nov 16, 2007 12:50:09 PM
His absurdly effete nature aside,
WTF does 9/11 have to do with America's attack on and occupation of Iraq?
Posted by: Corey D. | Nov 16, 2007 12:53:29 PM
Woof! I wanna jerky HIS beef.
Posted by: Jeff | Nov 16, 2007 1:07:10 PM
NEVER FORGET SEPTEMBER....THE.....um............
Er, what was that date again?
Idiot.
