What would you have if all of the cretinous Joe-the-Plumbers, Sarah Palin fetishists, brain-washed geezers, racist weirdos, and the just plain dumb-asses all showed up in one place at the same time? Yes, you’ve got it, a Tea Party rally! 

And I thought the Reagan-era righties, with their zany idolatry of the retarded Old Gipper, were a low point for the conservative movement, but that bunch at least had a certain sense of decorum.  The Tea Partyers openly display their ignorance, paranoia, intolerance, and brutishness with great self-satisfaction. And it’s all coming to a head with the “debate” over “Obama-care”.

Despite the reality that our Professor-in-Chief and his Dem colleagues on Capital Hill have concocted a scheme that is reform in name only, the Tea Baggers would have you believe it’s a commie take-over. What, are they all insurance salesmen? It’s the only thing that could possibly explain the rabid, hyperbolic, right wing reaction to a bill that still leaves all the reins of health care in the grubby mitts of insurance companies and H.M.O.’s.

And as for Obama, Pelosi, and the rest of the chicken-shit Democrats: congratulations for not getting anything close to what the country needs right now ( a public option), while at the same time, once again, letting the Repugs control the terms of the debate….and giving credibility to a bunch of warped losers,  spewing nonsense, and yet gaining legitimacy, known collectively as The Tea Party.
