Conservative "Stars" Come Out For Comstock

Yesterday we reported that Barbara Comstock -- a key cog in the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, dating back to the early Clinton years -- is running for the Virginia statehouse.

This morning, the DC Examiner offered a brief dispatch on a fundraiser held Monday night on Comstock's behalf. And it sounds like it was a who's-who of conservative luminaries.

According to the paper, the list included the Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes, National Review's Kate O'Bierne, former Cheney aide (and noted DC hostess) Juleanna Glover, former Bush administration official Fran Townsend, GOP lawyer Victoria Toensing, Jeri (Mrs. Fred) Thompson, GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway.

It's good to see friends helping friends.

It would be a real blow to have that much Pug power come out for her and she loses anyway!

She was an opposition research specialist. They have to support her: she probably had access to all the RNC's voluminous databases of personal info which they use to keep even their own folks in line.

I wonder if Bush will put in an appearance.

So who's running against her and where do we donate? Is her opponent a DFA (Democracy For America) recognized candidate? DFA is recruiting candidates to support.

Didn't Frances McDormand play her in "Burn After Reading"?

No, wait, it was Tilda Swinton.
