Wingnut confab begins in Obama backyard

A well-placed howitzer shell could take out many of America's most listened-to talk radio hosts today and tomorrow as they gather for the annual Conservative Talk Radio Bootcamp, this year held within shouting distance of the White House in Arlington, Virginia.

Famed for its evening Bible study followed by raucous all-night partying, the gathering began its activities last night and will continue until Tuesday afternoon.

The self-proclaimed "King of Right Media," Derf Kimbrough, was to keynote the convention this morning at 10am, though his address was pushed back to a more reasonable 1pm time slot. Entertainment on the agenda includes a faux coup d'etat ballet, performed by Ballet Extraordinaire du Buffalo, and a concert by Miley Cyrus.

All The Excess! is on the scene and will have bootcamp highlights for you Wednesday.
