CPAC rolled straight on to day two today, so for those of us that might not normally attend this kind of an event, it was a chance to see how the other half lives.
How they live, as it turns out, is on a very high pedestal of their own making. Fresh from Mitch McConnell’s declaration that conservatives are “more fun” because they are “always right”, we were treated to an array of people with fresh opinions to smack down those they disagree with.
It certainly wasn’t a good day to be a Kenyan, Socialist, Anti-Colonial Muslim in Washington DC today, but neither was it a good day to be a protestor outside the building (Laura Ingraham: You may not have seen them but “you could smell them.”).
Overall it was a day of chuckles at other people’s expense, so if you have a hardy constitution, sit back, watch the highlights and comfort yourself with the fact that it will all be over soon…
