The DC-area Occupy people, having been kicked out of their park this weekend, have a fun new thing in the works: Occupying CPAC. It’s just around the corner, so why not? According to the Occupiers’ website, they will “march to the Marriott” to “create as much non-violent resistance as possible, and make this a conference [...]
CPAC is this week! Have you bleached your American flag yet? Your Wonkette has and is looking forward to attending the world’s greatest annual conservative conference later this week. But until then: The pre-parties: What are they? Let’s take a look at the invitation someone forwarded us to this thing, the The Paul Weyrich Awards [...]
Forgotten anger bear Sarah Palin has made an annual ritual of publicly turning down her standing invitation to speak at premiere wingnut swinger meetup the Conservative Political Action Conference for the last four years to prove the point that she was too good to go around jabbering for free, since the communists at CPAC don’t [...]
No way. No way. No way. This guy cannot be real. Listen to that voice! He has to be just messing with Republicans. Or he grew up in a place where there were no Republicans, and the kid learned how to be one from cartoons. We don’t know how we missed this at CPAC. Maybe [...]
Somehow we missed Richard Dreyfuss at CPAC, unfortunately. He was there to promote The Dreyfuss Initiative, some sort of effort to improve civics education in public schools. Human Events got him to sit down for an interview about his political views, and, well, the man seems to be drunk and a little belligerent. But we [...]
Presidential hopeful Fred Karger is anti-war, pro-pot and single-handedly revealed that the Mormon Church bankrolled Proposition 8. He’s also an openly gay California Republican Jew who has a major hard-on for Ronald Reagan! But whatever. If a half-Muslin Kenyan from Kenya can be commander-in-chief, why can’t a gay Jew from Laguna Beach? (This question would [...]
Our CPAC mental sodomy adventures can best be summarized in the above “flipcam” footage, filmed at great personal risk during a Friday night CPAC sexytime party: Newt Gingrich’s latest (?) choose-your-own Homosexual Agenda Adventure paperback was discovered in a tampon receptacle. Meanwhile, we were drunk and just cold pissin’, to help set the mood. The [...]
The Wonkette team made it through two of CPAC’s three days before a combination of disgust and alcohol poisoning finally sent us running, so we’re a little late tonight with the thrilling news (?) that Doctor Ron Paul won the wingnut straw poll! Ron Paul is going to be president again! So awesome. He won [...]
Oh for fuck’s sake. This just got cheers at CPAC. Who knew they were so big on high-speed rail? [YouTube via Weigel]
Today was probably our last day at CPAC, an awful concentration camp of concentrated awfulness. But every winding Ron Paul book-signing line has to end somewhere, and we’re sure these folks are glad to be rid of us too. So here’s the last account of this crap, starring George Allen, Pam Geller, and a Joe [...]
GOProud is really good at two things at this CPAC: Getting publicity and angering conservatives. Yesterday, they brought Donald Trump to the convention. Today: Jimmy McMillan, the Rent Is Too Damn High Party guy. He gathered a huge crowd at their table, because he is the only interesting person in this entire building. We followed [...]
