Tea with the Mad Hatter

Hey, Wingnut Queen Michelle Bachmann is sponsoring her very own tea party today!

And Republican members of Congress are falling in line - as they must. And she’s even talking about leading the teabaggers through the halls of Congress to findĀ Congress critters who might dare vote for health care reformĀ and shout at them in their offices.

Maybe they’ll bring their guns!

But what’s interesting here is the fact that this has all been organized on the fly, on short notice - yet Bachmann’s trying to claim it’s all organic:

The speed in which the protest was put together was clear on the calls, with protesters conferring about parking, timing and other arrangements on the fly as they chatted on the conference lines. …

<snip>

Bachmann called tomorrow’s protest a “desperate act,” but one that grew from a fear among the public of what might happen if the Democratic health reforms come to pass. “There’s no organization here,” she told the callers. “It’s a total organic act.”

Bull.

This is going to be the usual crowd of official GOP activists, laced with a few folks who managed to convince their bosses to give them yet another day off work to go teabagging.

And I love the idea that random teabaggers are going to be “lobbying” Democrats who don’t represent them and whom they would never vote for anyway.

Perhaps I’ll bring in a busload of people from Nancy Pelosi’s district and crash Joe Pitts’s office so they can scream at him and demand he do exactly what they say. Same thing.

Update: Not quite sure how to explain this to the teabag crowd, but no, the Pledge of Allegiance doesn’t drive liberals crazy.
