From Wonkette: Images of Tea Bag Protest Letters sent to House and Senate Staffers
Wonkette asked for submissions from staffers who had actually received the fruits of Santelli's rant. They've been posting some of them on their blog.




"A Senate staffer has heeded our call for pictures of Tea Party teabagger anthrax threat letters, and here we are. For those of you who are no longer able to decipher human handwriting, it reads, “THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION IS A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY,” and is written on the inside of the envelope. The tea… what is that, Lipton’s? Standard Lipton’s? Why that tea should make a delicious 3 o’clock treat for this lucky staffer."



"Huzzah, another contribution from a brave Senate staffer who has suffered the terrible onslaught of anthrax (or “tea”) bags from voters who dislike taxes. All of these heavily irradiated teabags represent Freedom from Tyranny."


"This latest one, it is a Masterpiece. A House staffer sends us this image and writes, “This is what we get in the House… apparently we don’t warrant actual teabags like the Senate, just a good ol’ teabagging by fax.” Ha ha, the House will always just be the poor man’s Senate. But how remarkable is this! The “value” wordplay was quite the deft maneuver. And look at the little dog lady in her window, barking. And CONTRACTS — MONITOR CONTRACTS. Jesus!"

1. *sigh* Sadly, Maine has its fair share of people who think this way.

2. Ooh, Stash and Bigelow Vanilla Chai.
What kind of God-fearing conservatives drink that kind of tea? Maybe they stole them from the break room at work.
