Tea Bags Headed For Protest Captured Off Somali Coast --"All in all, I think telling our followers to have a spontaneous grassroots protest was a success," said Sean Hannity. By R J Shulman 16 Apr 2009 MOGADISHU, Somalia -- (PTSD News) -- Ships carrying tea originating in China were captured by pirates off the coast of Somalia, causing a shortage of tea bags for a conservative "tea party." Fox News and powerful Republican support groups had organized a "grassroots" tax and spend protest to coincide with tax day, loosely based upon the Boston Tea Party of 1773.

"We believe that President Obama directed the pirates to attack the ships carrying the tea bags," said Fox News Channel anchor Neil Cavuto.

"We need a Congressional investigation to determine just when Obama joined the Somali pirates," former Speaker of the House, conservative author and pundit Newt Gingrich said on Fox.

A shortage of tea bags did not dampen the revolutionary spirits of some protesters. "I was not going to let a shortage of tea bags stop me from expressing my personal views," said Dwayne Stump of Charlotte, North Carolina. "So when Fox told us to protest, I used garbage bags. You should see all the plastic floating in the river -- enough to choke Al Gore."

"I didn't like the previous bailout under Bush," said Frank Hawke, "but when Fox gave us the OK to protest bailouts under Obama, that's when you can count me in."
