Eugene has been around for ages. When I was working in DC in late 80s and early 90s he was a regular at Paul Weyrich’s weekly meeting for social issue conservatives. As Byron notes, Eugene was into street theater — pulling funny/embarrassing/silly public stunts usually directed at Ted Kennedy and the like. I wish I could remember one of his stunts — my recollection is that they were clever (wasn’t there something about Ted and pants …?). Eugene was hard core, a YAFer once upon a time, etc. I don’t know that he ever really moved the conservative football down the field, but he certainly provided some needed entertainment. That said, I haven’t heard his name in years.
