Bustin' loose: O'Keefe wrestles with parole officer to make CPAC

[mahatmakanejeeves]

CPAC, the big conservative confab, starts in DC tomorrow. You wouldn't want to miss it, would you? There are so many "high jinks" to talk about, and you'll need to unwind after your day on the slopes.

Bustin' loose: O'Keefe wrestles with parole officer to make CPAC

Thanks to the courts, he's stuck in Jersey. But conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe is desperately trying to claw his way to CPAC.

O'Keefe told Yeas & Nays he's in the process of petitioning his parole officer to let him cross state lines to make the big event Thursday where he will be awarded the "XPAC Annual Award for Impact" for cracking ACORN with his pimp suit, and, of course, his most recent attempt at high jinks in the office of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.

"We're having this e-mail exchange right now, actually," O'Keefe said about his correspondence with his parole officer.

O'Keefe isn't on complete lockdown -- he did spend Presidents Day on the ski slopes of New Jersey. But for a trip to the District for CPAC to join his cohort Hannah Giles, he'll have to beg.

"But hopefully I should be able to make it down to D.C. on Thursday," he said.

If he can't make an appearance, he plans to do a prerecorded or satellite interview with Town Hall's Kevin McCullough that will appear Friday.

But even if he does make an appearance, don't expect him to be raging at the concerts, comedy shows or bar parties.

"That's just not my scene," O'Keefe said.

With video games, a performance by the trendy Gregory Brothers and even an iPhone app, this isn’t your grandpa’s CPAC.

This year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, which kicks off Thursday at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, is paying a little more attention to the under-30 set, and doing it by holding a partner event called XPAC. (That’s short for Xtreme Politically Active Conservatives, if you’re wondering.)

1. Oh, so CPAC is giving him an award for committing a federal crime?

Are they also honoring Scott Roeder?

[Tippy]

3. Hell yes they honor Roeder any way they can.....

[Tippy]

2. Didn't he already break the Court Order by going to another state since it was put in place?

I seem to remember reading about this ...If he did and got caught he would now have to petition the Judge not his parole officer..This has not even gone to court yet has it..

4. Fourteen-year-old Jonathan Krohn can stand in for him at the CPAC

He would be happy to talk about his newest book Defining Conservatism: The Principles That Will Bring Our Country Back.

Major brain washing going on.

7. Substance doesn't count for squat with pubs. They love him

Opening lines from Chapter two in his book

"Now that we have finished our discussion of old school conservatism and the constitution, let's move on to the next major aspect of the conservative belief system: the life issue. The life issue is near and dear to all conservatives. Does not life keep all of us alive? If it wasn't for life would we not surely be dead? Conservatives believe that life is something that everyone should have."

Conservatives believe that life is something that everyone should have? That's some deep thinking. :crazy:

8. Does not life keep all of us alive?

Damn that is deep. Is he Palin's cousin or son or husband or something?

Unless that little girl runs for the hills. I hope she does.

Seriously...I'm sure that kid has been taught to think all kinds of crazy shit. He'll be a pandora's box for some shrink somewhere down the line.

5. XPAC?!?!? Oh shit they've got an X for Extreme! Watchout!!!

:sarcasm:

10. Any updates????

The last that I saw, the parole officer had not approved this trip. Did O'Keefe get to go to CPAC?

I hope that the parole officer did the right thing and denied this request
