Wait, do these conservatives understand what tea bagging means?

How can anti-gay marriage, anti-comprehensive sex ed, conservative politicians show up at tea bagging events? What would the 700 Club say?

All these Republicans should be careful when engaging in excessive teabagging as it could backfire and blow up in their faces, leaving them forever tainted and unsatisfied.

To paraphrase Atrios, do the wingnuts know they can buy loose tea leaves? Cause "teabagging" the White House just ain't right.

Hi everybody, my name is Kelsium and I am a serial exaggerator. I have been known to say that I have enough leftovers to feed a battalion of Marines, when in fact I only have enough to feed myself and my dogs for three days. I have also occasionally told my boss that I cannot stop puking and therefore cannot go to work, when I have only puked once and am pretty sure that I won't again, but just don't feel like getting out of bed again. And often I will say things in arguments like "I MADE YOU COOKIES!" when I have only once bought my opponent a cookie on a lunch date.

Gosh, it's good to get that off my chest.

Is it just me or does Karl Rove actually seem more evil and crazy now than he used to?

Is this distinction worth making? It's like asking if Hannibal Lecter seems extra interested in the taste of human flesh lately. Once someone reaches a certain level of evil (which Rove passed some time in 2000), it's probably unnecessary to quibble over whether they appear more villainous recently.

Listen, Republicans: if you want to annoy the people who created the financial problems with the Federal Budget and cause taxes to be raised, SEND THE FUCKING TEABAGS TO YOURSELVES! How does 8 years of rampant spending on two wars, plus Homeland Security fit into your little view of why the deficit is out of control? I forget... who was in power then? Oh yeah -- YOU ASSHATS!!! Shut up and take your medicine.

@NefariousNewt: The one conservative at work was screeching about the deficit and how Obama was trying to tax the rich out of existence and yadda yadda yadda yadda teabags and socialists, and I looked at her and asked when she was planning on quadrupling her salary so she'd have to be taxed at Clinton-era rates, and just how did she think we should pay for her beloved Operation Freedom. That actually shut her up.

@howdybeep (runs with monkey wrenches): Bravo! Dump it back in their lap!

Obama is dealing with the mess they left behind. This whole shebang didn't suddenly happen on January 20th, a fact the Republicans are reticent to acknowledge. And every time he takes some drastic steps to fix things, they are all up-in-arms. Take the AIG mess -- that started on Bush's watch. He's the one who got Congress to pass a bailout bill with no provisions for anything. Now Obama is having to go back and try to undo what was done, and the Republicans (who didn't seem to be in too much of a hurry to oppose their President) are sitting there squawking.

I think every Republican member of Congress she be forced to take a minimum wage job for a year and see if they could live on it. Then let them yammer on.

Teabagging: I don't think the word means what you think it means.

Plus, the Republicans stole the idea from NJ101.5, where the Jersey Guys started a campaign to bring empty wallets in coffins to the state house in Trenton, to symbolize the fact that taxpayers in NJ have no more money left for all the taxes the government is going to impose.

I can't say anything about people's right to protest the government, but I will say that FoxNews is really crossing the line promoting this one.

Also, teabagging? Who's brilliant idea was that one?

You know, no matter how many awful things he says or is responsible for, I can't bring myself to hate Karl Rove the way I do most people associated with the Bush Administration. It's just that he's so much the Brain to the GOP's Pinky, and that gives me endless amusement.

You know what I completely love? When I saw a high school classmate of mine's facebook profile that said socialism isn't only unconstitutional (?), it is also practiced by God-hating pagans.

Thank you Jez, for not fanning the insane fires that is the Somali pirate story. I swear, it's like CNN and the networks forgot that country existed until a few days ago. Somalia? Oh, I thought that place was covered in lava. Kind of like that city in Italy, Pomeii you know.

@Dreaming of Chocolate-Covered Bacon: Welcome to the world of corporate mass media. There could be a volcano that wipes out an entire city in Peru, and the headlines would read:

"Two Americans killed"

While the subhead would read:

"450 others also dead"

It is the saddest fucking shit ever. I work in the media and I still think it blows.
