(1) Comments | Posted April 17, 2012 | 2:06 PM

When we ran into Ellis from NBC's musical drama series Smash, we couldn't help but squirm. Jaime Cepero's character is all ambition, no conscience: from sexual favors to backstabbing, he'll do anything (and anyone) to get ahead on Broadway.

From Meghan Mccain to the Huntsman sisters, this generation's edgier, funnier, and savvier daughters are rebelling against the formality of the typical White House campaign.

You couldn't have missed Herman Cain's hilariously bad campaign ad. The random campaign manager. The stubbornly out-of-style mustache. The cheesy patriotic jingle....

When I was a young overachiever, my parents once hoped that, like all book-smart JAPs with attitude, I would make the family proud and join the ranks of well-paying society with nothing more than my ability to talk fast and memorize hundreds of pages of jargon: I would go to...
