Fox reporter embarrasses Think Progress dolt at CPAC.

If you are not reading this on a computer that can show you YouTube videos, GO TO A COMPUTER THAT CAN SHOW YOU YOUTUBE VIDEOS. Lakeshore Laments described this video as “Fox News reporter [Jesse Watters] messing with the Think Progress clown” (at CPAC), which is accurate, but not nearly an epic enough description.  Which is not Lakeshore Laments’ fault: some things needs to be seen to be believed, and Watters giving an impromptu explanation of how to do a video ambush while never breaking stride is one of them.

CPAC 2011: Al Cardenas.

He’s the new head of the ACU, and we had a bit of a general talk on that, and CPAC. Al Cardenas has a pretty compelling story: it constantly amazes me why Communist dictatorships were so determined to keep sending us top-shelf immigrants. Oh, right: it’s because Marxism is intellectualism for stupid people.

CPAC 2011: Allen West (R, FL-22).

I may have gloated a little over the “Congressman” bit: but then, FL-22 was one of the ten or so that most of us really, really, really wanted to get last November. Pleasant to have gotten this one, then.

Rep. West did a blogger availability and the CPAC keynote speech shortly afterward; you can see part of the first and the whole of the second here.

CPAC 2011: Peter Roskam (R, IL-06).

He’s the Chief Deputy Whip, and we talked a bit about the budget, budget cuts, and why they’re not ripping off the bandage in one go.

Also, a bit on the REINS Act, which (if passed) would effectively give Congress veto power over any federal regulations that would cost more than $100 million a year. This is, of course, an idea that the Left absolutely hates: which would make it appealing in and of itself; but watching Democratic house organs suddenly embrace the unitary executive principle in response to even the threat of the legislature reasserting its power is even more entertaining…

CPAC 2011: Alex Mooney.

Alex is the current chair of the Maryland GOP, and we talked for a bit on how to go about the work in a Blue State. Answer, of course: start from the bottom and work your way up.

The Maryland GOP site is here.

#rsrh Now back *from* CPAC…

…only two days this time, but I’m beat, beat, beat. I’ve got a goodly amount of video to upload, but I’m trying to figure out the best way to get it out without overloading either this site or RedState’s – I also don’t want to sit on it until it’s no longer fresh, either.

CPAC 2011: Saul Anuzis.

Saul is an old friend of RedState, and is rumored to be running for Senate next year.

As you can see, he’s not really authoritatively denying that.

CPAC 2011: John Kuzmanich.

John’s the head of the Oregon Tea Party, former Congressional candidate, and may be a possible Congressional candidate again.  We talked a little of the state of the state of Oregon (which is better than you’d expect, in practical terms):

There’s also some interesting bits on David Wu.  Check it out.
