CPAC 2023: Celebrity Sightings

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland Wandering through the exhibition space here at CPAC, we turned a corner and saw people standing in line. “What is this about?” my friend asked. “Book signing,” I guessed, without any idea what author might be up at the head of this queue. But then I looked and saw it was … […]

CPAC: Founding Fathers

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland My old friend George Washington — James Manship, who has been portraying the Father of Our Country for more than 20 years — was among the familiar faces I encountered on the first full day of CPAC, but of course not the only old buddy who crossed my meandering path. Just moments […]

Back to CPAC With the Big Yellow Button

  For something like 15 years, I never missed the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), covering it first for The Washington Times, then for The American Spectator. And by “covering it,” of course I mean hanging out with all my friends and filing late-night screeds of semi-incoherent gibberish. The liberal media always feasts on […]

CPAC: Not Worried at All

  ALEXANDRIA, Virginia We’ll be checking out of here early this morning, relocating to the Gaylord, where my podcasting partner John Hoge will have a room for us to do tonight’s special 2-hour episode of The Other Podcast.

CPAC: Still Not Worried

  ALEXANDRIA, Virginia “Lady MAGA” is “America’s Conservative Drag Superstar! Activist” and just happens to be staying in our hotel for CPAC.

CPAC: Fighting for Israel

  ALEXANDRIA, Virginia Dalia Al-Aqidi (left, in a photo by my brother you can click to enlarge) is the Republican challenger to Rep. Ilhan Omar. She attended a CPAC event I covered Thursday night: In emphatic terms, Jewish leaders praised President Trump during a reception Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “He has been […]

CPAC: VodkaPundit Is Not Worried

  ALEXANDRIA, Virginia Look at that cheerful visage — does Stephen Green look worried? Of course not. I encountered the legendary VodkaPundit last night in the Public House, about a block from the Gaylord Hotel, where he was having a club sandwich and a cold beverage. We recalled good times at CPACs past, and I […]

CPAC: We Are Here

  ALEXANDRIA, Virginia My brother Kirby and I checked into our hotel here about 6:30, loaded everything up from the car and stopped in the lobby bar for a beverage. We are staying here in Alexandria — about 2 miles across the river from National Harbor, site of CPAC 2020 — because the hotels near […]
