The December magazine lists
“Conservatives We Love,” and two of the five are U.S. Sen Tom Cole,
Oklahoma deputy majority whip, and T.W. Shannon, Oklahoma Speaker of the
House.
Of Cole, the
mag gushes, “Because he respects people regardless of their political
ideologies.” Of Shannon, the magazine says, “Because he believes in
investing in infrastructure.”
What
spawned the kudos? (You didn’t ask? We’ll tell you anyway.) A reader
wrote in and said a story in the October issue lacked conservatives in a
piece called “Life of Man.” So there you go. Esquire found two. Er, five. The others were columnist David Frum, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and Arizona Senator John McCain.
