Conservative strudel

Politics by its nature – that is, the sort of politics we do, with elections and so forth – is an intramural sport.

So we were interested to see that as part of a Washington conference this week, the Young Republican National Federation is having a cocktail party at the German Embassy.

“We are excited to join the German Embassy in commemorating the election of Angela Merkel, Germany’s new chancellor from the socially conservative Christian Democratic Union,” federation chairman Nicolee Ambrose said in a release.
