Rep. Maxine Waters mocked at California tea party conference [View all]

This pisses me off to no end. You have to look at the picture to see what the fuss is about. It's disgusting.

An unflattering picture of Waters, obviously doctored, was flashed on a screen just after Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Elk Grove) delivered the keynote address Friday evening.

Woody Woodrum of the conservative activist group California Screaming Eagles told the crowd that it was Waters' reaction when she heard McClintock was coming to speak to California tea party members, drawing a big laugh in the room.

“It was just a joke,” Woodrum said later.

Woodrum said it wasn’t meant to be mean-spirited. He said the photo has been floating around the Internet.
