RIGHT WING MEETUP: Conservative Heartland Leadership Conference
[ Patrick Tuohey ]I just finished writing a post on the Conservative Heartland Leadership Conference. All the dark overlords of the Midwest right-wing are here. Here are some things seen and heard:
- Someone pointed out that Arianna Huffington once referred to tonight's panel moderator, Grover Norquist, as the dark wizard of the right-wing tax groups or something.
- Catherine Bleish of the Liberty Restoration Project, pointed out to everyone in the room that thanks to the infamous MIAC report, we were all in danger of being rounded up as terrorists.
- Matt Blunt said that the Missouri Accountability Portal (MAP) got 16 million visitors in its first year, Ron Calzone thinks 15 million of these were Ed Martin.
- The bumperstickers provided me by elBryan ("HOPE we're not bankrupt by 2010" and "I already have a MESSIAH") have all already been snatched up.
This isn't a gossip column, so you'll have to be satisfied with that. Tomorrow I hope to take some pictures. (EDITED TO ADD: Gateway Pundit posted some pictures here.)
