now they tell them

It seems as though some of the sponsors of the teabagging movement, having soldiered on in embarrassed silence about what that means, finally got around to sending a little warning to the peons.  Naturally, they  did so with only the tiniest hints of the truth, primly skirting the issue by hinting at some unspecified “double meaning,” while darkly warning that “they” might be possibly “trying to make a fool of you.”  Well, it’s a little late, don’t you think?  Rather than saying something more practically useful to this literal-minded bunch like, “If anything about testicles comes up, put your hand over the camera,” they, unconcerned about whatever threadbare dignity such poor slobs must still have, just tell the Folks to deny that they are “teabaggers” or “enjoy teabagging.”  Thanks for the heads up,  Dick Armey and friends.

Then, taking a closer look at the viewpoints they’ve expressed and people they’ve been courting all these years, FreedomWorks suddenly saw fit to warn against another taboo, sure to be treacherously exploited by “them,” as well.  These ACORN infiltrators, wily commie fascist elitists that they are,  might also try to “bait” you God-fearing teabaggers into saying something that makes you seem “racist… uneducated and ignorant.”  Ahem.

Gotta watch out for that.  I don’t know which is worse; that they lie to their enemies, or that they care so little for their supporters that they lie to them, too, all the while recognizing that the monster they’ve  created is anything but potty-trained, and must therefore be dealt with on a need-to-know basis.  

Here in Little Beirut, CHNN correspondent Cocktailhag will be covering the teabaggers, whose demonstration, of what I haven’t the vaguest idea, will be taking place at the curious hour of 6:00 pm to 8:10, information I was helpfully provided by my local FOX affiliate.  They 8:10 seems a bit odd.  Is “24″ on at nine?  The stupidest part is how long they think it’s going to be.  This revolution will be over by 6:23, or I’ll eat my hat.  More later on this CHNN station.

    They don’t care about anything that doesn’t make it into the first ten minutes of the 11 pm newscasts on the East Coast. Sorry, your media cycle is irrelevant to the Dick Armey.

    Well, when I finish this beer, I’ll head down. If you read my last comment at UT, I bet you’ll agree that I’m softened up enough to take teabaggers in stride. I’m going to wear a Republican cloth coat.
