CPAC: My Allergies and Killing Me and I am Tired

By jen

So, I have been back at the hotel a little while. I am a sneezing machine and was tired of sneezing on all the bright and motivated conservatives in attendance. I ordered Pizza Hut because I cannot pay 16 bucks for a burger and am ready for my Olympics fix.

Today was good and above that interesting. Marco Rubio owned the morning and rightfully so. He was funny, humble, and said some great things. Stating the obvious, which you all know I am a fan of.

Liz Cheney and a surprise visit from her Dad made the crowd go nuts.

I grabbed a coke and some chocolate to make it further through the day and returned to my seat just in time to see this:

Who introduced Mitt Romney. I love Mitt. There were many murmurs of “How the hell did we ever let this guy bow out in 2008? We traded this guy for McCain?” Yeah, it blows.

Dick Armey spoke earlier in the day and made me giggle. A favorite quote that has been posted other places but I will post it again!

“You’re intellectually shallow, you’re a romantic, you’re self indulgent..You’ve proven to already to be, even to the recognition to your fellow Democrats perhaps the most incompetent President perhaps in our lifetime, you have no ability, you only have talent, and your purpose is income redistribution. You methods are transparent, you create the perception of a crisis in order to be able ride to the rescue and achieve your self indulgent purposes of controlling the distribution of income in America”

I just ran down to the hotel gift shop and paid too much for a chocolate fix, that said… the funniest thing i have heard in days comes from the mouth from the very nice lady working there when I asked for a bag.  She says, “I can give you one, but this is D.C. we have to charge for bags.  5 cents. It is all the stores in this area, even the CVS!”  i was laughing… hard.
