Not only did she miss the party, I have reason to believe she was never invited

K-Lo begins to understand that while she was locked safely away in her hermetically sealed chastity bubble, the rest of us were enjoying the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, and (unfortunately for her) all the partying might actually have implications for her politics.

Come January 20, 2009, I, for one, will be welcoming our free-basing overlords.

Conservatives on crack

In case you were curious as to why no one in their right mind (pun so-not-intended) would ever hire National Review blogger Kathryn Lopez as a political consultant:

I do think the veep is going to matter — and especially to conservatives. Early match-ups wouldn't be a bad idea. If Rudy had Bill Bennett or Rick Santorum running with him, he'd get a second look from pro-lifers who are sick over the prospect of a pro-choice nominee, for instance. A solidly conservative Dick Cheney like figure (is anyone Dick Cheney like though) could help Romney, to ease any concerns about this able guy folks feel like they just met....

To re-cap - for Rudy or Romney to solidify their potential GOP candidacy, the should consider for veep a) a moralistic scold/compulsive gambler, b) a Christianist former senator who was just tossed out on his ass by voters in an important swing state, or c) someone like the most unpopular vice president ever. And you're telling me no campaign is waiting to snap K-Lo up?

Need a reason to gouge your eyes out with a spoon?

I'll leave the blogging of the main event to my esteemed blogospheric colleagues. I'll blog the bloggers blogging the forum. And for that sheer "OMG, if this blog were a bear-trap and my leg was stuck in it, I'd gnaw both legs off in order to escape, just so there'd be absolutely no chance that the other leg would get stuck" feeling, you've got to go straight for the K-Lo at the Corner. A representative post:

Hillary Channels Rick Santorum [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Credit where due: She said "Islamic extremists" tonight.

And it's not the K-Lo without a post-debate Mitt-gasm.

Ew.
