Beyond the substantive issues Yglesias raises, it’s crazy for the Republican Party to think it can better beatjack Lady GaGa than Kanye West can, as with this playful reinvention of "Pokerface" for Kid Cudi. It’s, uh, subtle. But it’s good to see the Republican Party embracing soul-deadening pornographic sexuality.

(For more on this, I really liked this Awl post from Dave Bry.)
