Iād opt for tearing out a fingernail with pliers. Cheap shot: Christie and his children are the heavweights, but seriously, why are we treated to wide coverage of CPAC each year here and elsewhere. Theyāre not serious people, they gather to inflame the mobs, and theyāre sharp enough to make sure that what they say is quotable though nonsensical (getting rid of the IRS).

Rule of the Beltway: If itās Republican, It leads

Somewhat like local TV coverage, if it bleeds it leads.
You have a valid point there. Craziness, it seems, is itās own reward. Thereās almost no point to any rational discussion about what these people say because itāsā¦wellā¦crazy from the git-go. So the Beltway villagers eke out a living by pretending that thereās good faith debate going on and then pivot to, and not so subtly, concentrate instead on the spectacle.
Democrats, at least latter day Democrats, just arenāt as entertaining as Republicans. I really canāt even think of a left-wing "equivalent to CPAC. But if there were, who would be giving speeches and what would they say?
Elizabeth Warren, not withstanding, I think it would be seen as boring, possibly even depressing in the eyes of the media. At a Democratic version of CPAC, devoid of craziness, rather than concentrate on serious meaningful discussion, media-ites would be more interested in parsing Democratsā speeches and policy statements, looking for possible gaffes and inconsistencies and the overall message would get lost.

The alleged ārealā news on CBS this morning inexplicably aired a clip of Dubya seated on a stage with three other men who were described as veterans. Dubya doesnāt look so good these days, like something weighs heavy. In the soundbite he said he has āvowedā to work for veterans āthe rest of my lifeā with that catch in his voice he used to use to sell compassionate conservatism. Anchors gave him a big āawā and a metaphoric hug in the same lead segment that identified the ISIL executioner.
