ALEXANDRIA, VA -- Earlier today, conservative firebrand and bestselling author Ann Coulter agreed to participate in the 32nd annual meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the nation’s largest gathering of grassroots conservative leaders and activists, said CPAC Director Stacie Rumenap.

"For years, Ann’s participation in CPAC has been the highlight for thousands of conservative grassroots activists," said Rumenap. "Her incendiary opinions on issues of the day resonate with our attendees, who always report that the CPAC experience would not be the same without an opportunity to be enlightened by the inimitable Miss Coulter."

CPAC 2004 held in January drew 4,000 attendees to the three-day conference. Speakers included Vice President Dick Cheney, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Senators George Allen, Zell Miller and Mitch McConnell, keynoter Congressman Mike Pence, and a score of conservative luminaries such as Wayne LaPierre, Oliver North, Michelle Malkin, Phyllis Schlafly, and David Horowitz.

CPAC is a project of the American Conservative Union Foundation, in association with Young America’s Foundation and HUMAN EVENTS. The conference is co-sponsored by over 70 of the nation’s leading conservative organizations. For continued updates on the program or to register online, visit www.cpac.org.

"CPAC" is not a "political action committee (PAC)" as defined by federal law. The conference name and initials predate the creation of those entities and is merely coincidental.

conservative firebrand

uhhh labels

[jimfree]

Next year I swear.

[JusticeTalion]

A babe with a Baretta. Doesn't get much better than that.

God bless our troops wherever they may be.

[non-religious-conservative]

Yummy...

[My2Cents]

I think this pic has been Photoshopped. Ann is, as I recall, more -- ahem -- "top-heavy" than this pic represents.

[Echo Talon]

It just irritates me they label conservatives and articles about liberals aren't labeled in such a way.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I was unaware that Ann's opinion's were incendiary.

Although I'm aware that there's a joke in here somewhere.

[Rummyfan]

She's wearing her special 'shooting' bra - got to keep those things tied down so they don't get in the way!

It just irritates me they label conservatives and articles about liberals aren't labeled in such a way.

I don't think "conservative firebrand" was meant negatively in this case. Two reasons: 1) ACU -- the American Conservative Union -- loves her; and 2) Human Events is her home publication, and they are very good about labeling liberals as "liberals, leftists, far left, etc."

[Echo Talon]

well, why the double? conservative firebrand? call her one or the the other, to me it takes away from her talent.

[WakeUpAndVote]

Now that's and icon!

[montag813]

Ann's actually an annoying/boring speaker. I alsways prefer the less sarcastic/egotistical and more crucial Michelle Malkin. Much more substantive.

[Arrowhead1952]

I just happened to find that on an old word document. Still works just fine.

For instance, I don't recall seeing any such labeling of the loonies who threw pies at Ann when she was speaking at that university,such as "liberal crackpots". They don't actually have to be liberal crackpots at that,any guys who would throw pies at the gorgeous Ann Coulter has deep-seated issues,to say the least,no matter his politics. If the MSM were forced to label them in some way, it would probably be "student pranksters" or something equally innocuous.

[My2Cents]

I'll hold on to 'em for her!

[Sir Charles]

Its not an either\or thing. I love 'em both because they believe what I believe and I believe what they believe, and I love to hear them talk about those beliefs. If they're both attractive, so much the better, but it's their principles that attract me.

"Ann's actually an annoying/boring speaker. I always prefer the less sarcastic/egotistical and more crucial Michelle Malkin. Much more substantive."

I agree.......Ann is more in her element spewing out one liners and such. I know she is very very intelligent but I prefer to hear others who don't have to deliver invective and such every other sentence......she is more a hit woman than a eloquent purveyor of the truth
