Conservatives in Hollywood!

Hey look! CNN found some! (They lead with Pat Boone in the slideshow, which is Not A Good Sign.)

And then there's this rising, er, talent?
Eric Golub, a conservative comedian, was one of the acts who performed at Liberty Fest. Golub lives in Los Angeles, but that is where the ties to the entertainment industry end. He describes himself as a "hired gun" whose "niche is conservative political events." When he is not on the road, Golub said he "sits in front of his laptop and makes cold calls to get gigs."
"I'm not in the entertainment industry," Golub said. "I never want to be part of the entertainment industry."
And a good thing it is, that he never wants to be part of the entertainment industry. Because that would mean having to entertain people. Here's a set from last year:

He's like Gilbert Gottfried without the charisma.
