VIDEO: CPAC Panel on ‘Saving Freedom from Fascism’

My friend (and sometimes antagonist) Quin Hillyer chaired this panel featuring Jonah Goldberg, Amity Schlaes and Herb London: People who know me as the CPAC Schmooze King — as William Upton of The American Conservative observes, I have a knack for being everywhere at CPAC — often ask me, “Stacy, why have you never been asked […]

Mike Huckabee, Sore Loser

He got 4% in the CPAC straw poll — which was won by Ron Paul — and suddenly decides that a gathering of 10,000 conservative activists is a bad thing: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee blasted the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday as outdated, nearly corrupt and unrepresentative of the conservative movement. . . . […]

Let’s Party Like It’s 1994!

The other, less reported bit has to do with Philip J. Berg, of obamacrimes.com. The gentleman came […]

CPAC: The Sundries Shack Breitbart Review

by Smitty Jimmie at The Sundries Shack offers a great review/summary of Andrew Breitbart at CPAC. Andrew has already earned a Presidential Medal of Freedom, as far as this blog is concerned. When he stopped by Blogger Row, Andrew was humble, encouraging, and inspirational. What the Left may be too dim to understand is that, […]

CPAC: After-Action Report I

The American Spectator expects vast depths of wisdom in a few hours, and thus there is no time now to report — much less explain — all the magic (and tragic) things that happened at CPAC. Barbara Espinosa observed this morning at breakfast that I had blogged practically nothing since arriving at the fabulous Marriott Wardman […]
