"This briefing was like policy porn -- wonks galore, writes a star-struck Girl on the Right -- cross-posted at The Cotillion -- from Bloggers' Alley at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in DC:
Officially, I am the only Canadian blogger seated at the conference on Blogger's Alley. Unofficially, I will be sharing my chair with Wonder Woman, so when I collapse from exhaustion, she'll be picking up all the slack. If I can get her away from Oliver North long enough to do any blogging . . .
"Claude Allen came in to talk about domestic policy, but I have to admit to getting distracted and tuning the poor man out. But you will have to forgive me for it -- Karl Rove walked in and sat down not 15 feet from me."
We were giggling at the sheer girlish delight of it all. Wonder Woman was in a swoon:
Now, I have seen him speak on TV, but I was absolutely blown away by how charismatic and good-humored he is *heads popping everywhere* and i suddenly found myself wondering . . . is Karl going to run?
So, the policy briefing was great, but they were talking to a room that was -- for the most part -- already sold.
We know we're sold. As we wrote Girl on the Right in her comments, with a salute to the Gershwins:
Rove walked right in
and stole the shadows away.
Rove walked right in
and brought my sunniest day.One magic moment
and my heart seemed to know
That love said hello
though not a word was spoken.
And as we always -- always! -- say, girls just wanna have fun, and -- as we blogged here the other day -- Karl Rove knows what a woman on the right wants to hear.
Ah, the pudgy Machiavelli proves that brains can confer sex appeal!
