Meet S.E. Cupp, conservative pundit beloved by Tucker Carlson and Nick Hornby alike

S.E. Cupp
Attempting to describe Tucker Carlson's new online magazine, the Daily Caller, Colin Delany writes at the Huffington Post: "one friend of mine referred to it as a cross between 'Politico, Drudge and the NY Post'; while another suggested 'Pajamas Media meets The Daily Beast.'" So far, says Delany, the Daily Caller is light on original reporting, heavy on "copy/paste substituting for actual journalism" and sexy page-view magnets. (As far as the latter goes, I do look forward to seeing whether they'll ever top my all-time favorite HuffPo headline, "Megan Fox Wears Panties, Lifts Foot Above Head.") "Nice work on the business front," he writes, noting that ad sales have gone tremendously well, "but that situation's unlikely to last unless this sucker ups its ante on the content side."

The Daily Caller does have one intriguing bit of regular content its competitors don't, though: A diary by S.E. Cupp, one of the latest young, white conservative women to make a career of saying inflammatory things while looking really pretty. Cupp's own Web site boasts a blurb from Carlson: "If anyone can make conservatism cool again, it's S.E. Cupp, one of the smartest, most energetic and interesting people I know under 30." And while I'm not one to take Tucker Carlson's word on pretty much anything, my own investigation into his protégé -- i.e., a good half-hour of checking out what Google turns up on her (Salon pays other people to do unimpeachable reporting, thanks) -- suggests she is indeed smarter and more interesting than your average conservative pundit.
