More Restoration Weekend 2002

The liberal media embargo of Restoration Weekend 2002 was nearly complete. Of course, the conversative media blackout of RW 2002 was equally unanimous.

According to a search on Google News, there have been four articles on RW 2002, three from the Palm Beach Post and one in the Moonie Times. And the Moonie Times only mentions the event in passing, in an article about the Louisiana Senate race. The usual wingnut sites, including Faux News, the Weekly Standard, NRO, Townhall, etc. make no mention of RW 2002. (NRO does have an old article on RW 2K, the one attended by Chris Hitchens.)

Even El Flushbo, "winner" of the Annie Taylor award, couldn't be bothered to mention RW 2K on his website. No doubt the trophy already occupies a special place in Rush's guest crapper.

The Times "reporter" characterizes Restoration Weekend as "an annual meeting of several hundred conservative activists," but gives no numbers for this year's attendance. Still, the only non-cult source, the Palm Beach Post, places attendance at 50.
