Orrin Hatch may have crashed the Tea Party Express Town Hall earlier this week and encouraged teahadists to "get armed and get out there" to save America, but if what happened to him Friday at CPAC is any indication, he's one of the ones they're out to get. Dave Weigel:
Hatch was on a sleepy panel about the possibility for a balanced budget amendment when a questioner threw the dynamite.
"When you talk about fiscal conservatism," he said, "how can we trust you, if you voted for TARP?"
Half the room exploded with cheers, pleasure at the audacity of the question. Hatch was stony-faced.
"Under the circumstances," said Hatch, "at the time, we were going down, and let me tell you..."
The crowd interrupted him with boos.
