3. Reminds me
The radio DJ this morning was going on about all the teabagging that happened yesterday (I'm pretty sure the guy knows what teabagging really is from the tone of the comments).
But the best part was this..he said he thought the coverage of the teabaggers was pretty weird. On MSNBC..they said the turnout was spotty. On CNN they said the weather definitely held the numbers down...On Fox News.."The President was so intimidated he jumped in a helicopter and flew to Moscow"....:rofl:

5. I posted a thread about it over in GD - my morning DJ was all over the teabag jokes
This was John DeBella from WMGK, which is one of the biggest radio stations in the Philadelphia region. He even read the description of teabagging from Wikipedia.

There were DUers who thought that this whole 'teabag joke' wasn't funny and wouldn't make sense for the regular folks not into all this protesting on either side (the civilians). But when you have a major radio personality making a mockery of these protest simply because the name has another funny, sexual meaning - well it really makes those protesters look pretty stupid.

You know all it would take is someone to google for 5 seconds to find out "I wonder if Teabag would be an appropriate word to name our protest movement". And even though the name changed pretty soon after they realized the stupidity of using teabags as their symbol the damage was already starting.

6. If I was those grandkids, I would worry about grandma
especially the fact that she does not seem to be embarrassed by her own silliness.

We should take LOTS of pictures of each and every one of these people. In the future, it'll be like making someone look at pictures of themselves from their high school yearbooks from the 80s. :evilgrin:

7. I appreciate how they dress so patriotically to go hear seditionist speeches
