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.
