State Department "Men"....

"Real Men Moisturize." So begins an article on "Sharp Dressed Men" that appeared in a State Department funded magazine aimed at youth in the Arab world. The magazine, called "Hi" is published in Arabic and English. A State Department website explains that Hi is published "with the hope of building bridges of greater understanding among our cultures."

Thus begins an article by Mona Charen http://www.theconservativevoice.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=6035

I changed her title to the one used on this blog for the obvious reason. That may be the way our "men" in State prepare themselves for another day at the office, or evening prowling Georgetown bars, but it ain't Milwaukee, or Omaha, or Peoria.

Wonder how much one could cut from State's budget...

Aren't these the guys that used to get beat up at school?

Yup.

But the group is now augmented by Ivy League brats-with-connections who land at State because nobody else in their right mind will hire them.
