• Prueba a pasear por los pasillos del Congreso. Es el encuentro de Abercrombie & Fitch con el Hair Club for Men. Un montón de jóvenes realmente fotogénicos besando a un montón de fanfarrones insufribles. Separados por una o dos generaciones, la mayoría de estos actores sólo tienen una cosa real en común: nunca han sido destetados de la teta pública. Lo más cerca que han estado nunca de reunir una nómina es cuando se juntan para gastar los impuestos de las nóminas de todos los demás.
