...invite-only passes palmed to a select few. The first one was hosted by the Poker Players Alliance and included CPAC's It kids: James O'Keefe (of ACORN pimp fame) and his three cohorts who recently tangled with the law by messing with Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's phone lines, antitax champion Grover Norquist, conservative media personality Andrew Breitbart and 2004 World Poker champion Greg Raymer.
