“[bellowed] Harshbarger.”
“Hold on, there, buddy. You have to check in at the genitals table for a wristband first.”
“Wow, a speaker at CPAC. Pretty incredible, right? Guess Freaky Lauren isn’t such a freak after all, huh? All these important people seem to think I’m cool enough to talk at CPAC. Maybe everyone I knew growing up were the freaks? They’re the freaks. Not me.”
