Why play dumb? Because the CPAC attendees are very serious conservatives. At least according to the press, which apparently is willing to wear three-inch thick blinders in order to to not report on the hateful craziness that CPAC always descends into.

One of yesterday's obvious examples came when a featured speaker claimed that Obama's “notion of freedom” consistted of snorting cocaine. Of course, the line drew a huge laugh from the crowd:

But like I said, good look finding any reference to that in today's coverage. In fact. good luck finding any references to the unhinged hate on display at CPAC. The press just won't go there.
