For over thirty years, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has been the most important conservative gathering in Washington. In 1974, then-California Governor Ronald Reagan addressed the first large CPAC gathering. Every year, the conference honors the Gipper with a Ronald Reagan banquet.
Organized by the American Conservative Union (ACU), the conference attracts leading conservative activists and policy makers from across the nation. This year, speakers included the Vice President, presidential advisor Karl Rove, Virginia Senator George Allen and Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell. And this year for the “first time”, according to ABC NEWS, “a gay rights group has been officially recognized by the nation’s annual gathering of conservative activists.” The Log Cabin Republicans paid $3,000 to co-sponsor the event.
Finally, a sign that this organization is attempting to make its case to the conservative movement. Good job, Log Cabin.

UPDATE: Dennis the Peasant has an amusing take on this whole thing. Scroll down to the photos. Dennis asks:
Which is more obnoxious, offensive and juvenile? Me cracking the obvious joke about Helen Thomas’ sexual identity via a bit of insensitive gender stereotyping…OR [t]he Internet’s Leftist Crown Jewels savaging [someone's] sexual identity via a bit of political stereotyping…in all seriousness?
