The Other McCain

CPAC: Glenn Beck

by Smitty Last night I went down to the floor to take in Glenn Beck’s closing remarks. What a great speech. It was a fine bookend to George Will’s previous priestly posturings. Rather than look back and be self-congratulatory in his wisdom, Beck looked forward, rather graphically at times, towards the hangover helper the country […]

CPAC: Blogger Row Hotness Report

by Smitty Any lefty politicians in California are feeling a tremendous amount of heat from Uncoverage.net. J’s knowledge of the California political landscape is encyclopedic. Seeing her interact with everyone from Andrew Breitbart to Chuck DeVore was truly inspirational. Passionate blogging at its finest.

VIDEO: Interview With Katherine Jenerette, SC-1

by Smitty I enjoyed the privilege of interviewing Katherine Jenerette, a GOP primary hopeful down South in SC-1, which includes Charleston. She’s an Army vet, mother of four, and sounds like more of what the country needs. This blog supports tough veterans in the fight to reclaim the country from the clutches of Progressivism.

From the Mariott, Joyousness Resounds Anew

by Smitty This week’s FMJRA comes from the fabulous Mariott Wardman Park in DC. The Valley of the Shadow has a great CPAC roundup post of our coverage.

Ann Coulter At CPAC

by Smitty Ann Coulter’s stand up was slightly less polished than her usual primo snark. And, as with previous Coulter appearances I’ve seen, the Q&A is better than the prepared remarks, because the lady is just so smart. Q: Who do you like in 2012? A: We can’t tell them. Let them know a month […]

CPAC Day 3.1* Andrew Breitbart Is Standing in Front of Me in the Blogger Lounge

Q&A — “despicable human being“? *Update (Smitty) Stacy McCain: Jason Mattera, a Puerto Rican was called racist by the New York Times after his CPAC talk yesterday. Breitbart: Despicable but predictable. The political left is frightened because the right has been awakened. The left’s only tactic is to destroy people personally. They play the race […]
