McCain booed at CPAC.

Speaking to a right-wing crowd at CPAC today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was loudly booed when he mentioned his push for comprehensive immigration reform last year. (A position he has since given up.)

Every year, the CPAC conference gets together conservatism's finest minds for a round of demagoguery and five minute hates. Last year, it was Ann Coulter's charming and daring "John Edwards is a fag" remark that really lit up the stage.

CROWD: Boo! Boo!
