5. OK, have a great laugh and look at these definitions of "teabagging"

OK, the sexual innuendos finally made me curious ...

This page of definitions and purported definitions is great!

7. Were these typical tea-party attendees?
Or did Oliver seek out the terminally stupid to make fun of? (This is the same question engendered by Leno's "Jaywalking" segments.) I mean, if these are "typical Americans", we are in a world of trouble. None of them have any idea what they're talking about. They spew second-hand Fox "News" blather, then when you ask a followup they go mute.

Fools!

museum booty.

12. Moment of Zen
Try to catch the whole episode. The ending has John Oliver trying to interview a crazy lady. She rants about how she does not want to be interviewed because Jon Stewart is a communist. :wtf: When she walks away, John Oliver say something like "Bye, Comrade."

What a great episode it was.
