That’s it for me. I can leave right now and skip tonight’s banquet with Zell Miller. CPAC is done. I’ve accomplished all I’ve wanted to accomplish.
When Michelle Malkin first walked into the book signing area with her beautiful daughter, I walked up to her, and she said, “Hi, La Shawn!” And she hugged me.
Then I saw her little boy (adorable) and met her very nice husband, who also reads my blog. Anyway, so Michelle signed my book and…I don’t remember what happened after that. 
Update (2/19): Read what Kevin has to say about Michelle.

Very jealous.
I’m glad you are having such a great time!

Oh yeah, tell Michelle that a good “hot tottie” would take away those chills and aches.
Comment by Rev. Eric — 02.18.05 @ 5:33 pm
Congratulations on meeting her! You’ve certainly given her a lot of space on this blog.

Simply fantastic! You both look absolutely beautiful. Makes me smile from ear to ear to see you both together.I hope someday to be fortunate enough to meet and have a picture with you BOTH…

Both you and Michelle are “Hot” for good reason–great thinking and great writing. Congrats and keep up the great work. May God Bless you both!

Very cool La Shawn! Don’t worry about the memory lapse, you guys look great.
It’s a wonderful thing when you get to meet someone that you respect. I experienced the same thing this week getting to have brunch with Mark Tapscott of Tapscott’s Copy Desk.
Would love to chat with Michelle someday, her writing is edgy and super relevant, and my wife loves it when she’s on the talking-head shows taking no prisoners!

More CPAC blogging
LaShawn Barber is blogging CPAC (see here, here, here and …. heck, just go here and keep scrolling). Also, don’t forget our buddy Erick over at Redstate. He’s liveblogging the event.

MEETING MALKIN
My CPAC day two ended on a high note–I got to gush like an idiot fanboy. A whole bunch of us bloggers–LaShawn, Matt and Wes Roth–waited for Michelle Malkin’s book signing this afternoon. I could have waited for Zell Miller,…

Very, very nice indeed! Pretty cool Miss Barber.

What a pair!
Taking on the world with your thoughts !
Woo hoo !

Wow! A photo of the blogosphere’s Dynamic Duo.
I wish that Michelle would update her website with a newer photo of her. Her current hairstyle looks great on her.

Your happiness came across the internet and made me feel like I met her.

Happiness is seeing you two together…

LaShawn, I hope you’ve had a flu shot! Just kidding! Great pic and congrats!
Comment by Reporterette — 02.18.05 @ 8:27 pm
Very cool!!! The two of you seem to really apprecaite each other and I’m glad you finally got to meet!
Comment by RepJ — 02.19.05 @ 12:44 am
Conservatives have the best of everything.
Let the liberals have Mikulski, Hillary, Boxer, Maxine Waters, etc. The defects in their personalities are only exceeded by the defects in their appearance. Gag a maggot!
LaShawn, Michelle, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham. Smart, Happy, Beautiful!!
Young People, the Conservative Movement is beckoning…
Comment by JoeS — 02.19.05 @ 12:55 am
WOW! Just wow! That is totally awesome. I’m both jealous and thrilled for you.
I hope you didn’t skip Zell Miller though. I’d love to shake the man’s hand and thank him for the speech that he made at the RNC convention. Since I can’t be there, and don’t have your clout (LOL), I hope you got the opportunity.
Congratulations!

That is truly a beautiful picture. Two more radiant sources of wisdom could not be found.

Thanks, little darlin’, for taking us there. You are totally awesome, of course, and you make it all come alive for us out here in the boonies.
Comment by Sissy Willis — 02.19.05 @ 8:11 am
LOL! I totally concur with Joe S. above. I once blogged that Michelle Malkin is the most attractive blogger out there today. La Shawn certainly gives her a run for her money, however!
Couple that with their incredible intellects and writing skills — WHOA!

We made it. Barely! Still feeling queasy and exhausted (thanks for all the kind get-well e-mails), but was glad I held out long enough to meet so many nice, cool people at CPAC yesterday. Hubby and kids had a great…

Ooh . . . “Sweetheart of the Blogosphere.” We could have told her that.

Congrats!
I met a few bloggers this week at the NRB convention so I can relate to the “experience”

I’ve finally gotten around to downloading the rest of my photos from CPAC, including this one from Michelle Malkin’s book signing:

I always knew it, and these photos prove it: Conservatives are far better looking, and way more physically attractive than Liberals.
Oh, and yes, that goes for Michelle, too!

hehe… this is cute. I would be star-struck if I met either one of you! I did get an autographed copy of Michelle’s book, “Invasion,” and when I got it in the mail, I was freaking out.
