    Heavy weights?!?!

  3. Can’t wait to see how many terrible quotes by horrible people we’ll reap from this.

  4. I’d 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. They’re not serious people, they gather to inflame the mobs, and they’re sharp enough to make sure that what they say is quotable though nonsensical (getting rid of the IRS).

  5. I’d rather clean all the bathrooms at LAX with my tongue [1] than watch this.

    [1]Thanks, Weird Al
