26 is the new 16

A common phrase today is words to the effect "Thirty is the new twenty". If that is true, Ms Durham's showing 26 is the new 16



Here is the narative of this intellictual genius:

“Your first time shouldn’t be with just anybody,” she says. “You want to do it with a great guy. It should be with a guy with beautiful — someone who really cares about and understands women. A guy who cares whether you get health insurance, specifically whether you get birth control. The consequences are huge”

“You want to do it with a guy who brought the troops out of Iraq. You don’t want a guy who say, ‘Oh, hey, I’m at the library studying’ when really he’s out not signing the Lilly Ledbetter Act; or who thinks that gay people should never have beautiful, complicated weddings like the kind we see on Bravo and TLC all the time.

“It’s a fun game to say ‘who are you voting for?’ And they say, ‘I don’t want to tell you,’ and you say, ‘No, who are you voting for?’ and they go, ‘Guess!’

“Think about how you want to spend those four years. In college-age time that is 150 years. It’s also super uncool to be out and about and say, ‘Did you vote?’ ‘No, I wasn’t ready’”

“My first time voting was amazing,” she says. “It was this line in the sand. Before, I was a girl. Now, I was a woman”

“I went to the polling station, I pulled back the curtain. I voted for Barack Obama,”

Ms Dunham was eligibel to vote in 2004 but I guess Bush or Kerry were not her type, not worthy of her voting virginity. But more than that she expects to be taken seriousley with this. You can make arguments for things such as ending the war in Iraq (for some reason she doesn't want to mention this would never have happened without the surge, which then Senator B Hussein Obama opposed, or the fact Afganistan is falling apart). But to put this out with a giggly teeny bopper as a serious appeal to young voters strikes me as a Hail Mary of the Obama campaign.

Lena Dunham is all too typical of young Obamaites. Thinking with something other than a brain. Hopefully she's makes enough money to threaten to leave the country after Romney leaves.

Again Lena, don't go away mad, just go away.
