That was the scene this morning in the Blogger’s Lounge at CPAC, and some of you may recognize Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit and Jeff Dunetz of Yid With Lid among the bloggers coping with the reportedly substandard WiFi connection.

This morning on my way to get breakfast, I walked past CPAC director Lisa DePasquale who informed me that Donald Trump would be speaking today at 3 p.m. When I got back to the room, I Tweeted that news. It’s also a big story at the New York Times. But I’m sure you’d rather get scoops from my Twitter feed, right?
