VIDEO: McCain And I Ponder The Rigors Of CPAC Blogging

Posted on | February 19, 2010 | 20 Comments

by Smitty

The rigors of CPAC weigh upon us. The need to swim in the upper-class-twit waters without having the nose turn blue renders the situation problematic. In this clip, Stacy and I ponder the tension in the situation as we deal with conditions that can only be described as arduous.

On a related note, tomorrow’s FMJRA looms. Those who’ve linked us, in particular on Blogger, where trackbacks aren’t what you might like, are encouraged to spam me with links.

Update: While it is crass to blame the tool, the way that the ‘Visual’ mode in the WordPress post editor will HTML encode any pasted markup can be a trap for the exhausted. Beware.

    You wingnuts scare me with your passion.

    I lost passion after spending some time with Sharmutta. And I get ill every time I think of the night I got drunk with Kilgore Trout and Cato the Elder and we decided to experiment.

    Will I ever get over the shame?
