I’m always surprised at the speed scolding scolds can go from 0 to 60 of pure white-hot fury to right some imagined wrong. Keep it up guys, you amaze me.
The scolding scolds have reached new, unattainable scolding levels by leveling their patented Faux-Outrage Ray on a feller trying to get his friend, who happens to be a girl, an internship. He happened to use a current, flattering and unoffensive slang term to describe her. How does a scolding scold scold a well-intentioned sap?
Roll Call ran the email said feller sent around to a list-serv:
To: Tour Coordinators
Subject: Hot D Intern Prospect
One of my friends from college, just graduated and is trying to intern on the Hill this summer. She is a smoke show from FSU, but she happens to be a Dem so I’m having trouble finding her a spot. She’s a smart girl and has worked for FEMA. She’s real cool and gets along with everyone. If one your interns falls through or you can squeeze another in, give her a shot.
Florida ties, from Tampa.
The scolding scolds called Political Correctness 5-0 on "smoke show." For those unfamiliar with the fine work at Barstoolsports.com, here’s its official WFB definition:
Main Entry: smoke show
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: a term used to describe an extremely hot girl
Synonyms: babe, dime
Apparently, the GOP feller has been enduring some scolding on social media.
But I’d like to remind everyone, Hill internship coordinators and scolding scolds alike, how qualified does one have to be to become an intern at Congressional office? As long as the intern candidate is functionally competent and not a jerk and/or annoying, what’s the fuss over if this particular lass is a smoke show? Can she answer a phone professionally and not get her tour lost in the Capitol? Sign her up!
Since the Editor’s Blog is about helping the helpless, I’d like to extend a hand to the GOP staffer who's trying to help a friend out. Tweet your friend’s info to @_Charette_ and the WFB would be happy to have her join the team.
