I’m sorry to be all teabag/all the time but, Jesus, nothing quite brings out the sophomoric giggles than watching people walking in an oblivious wonderland.
From Eric Odom , Grand High Lingualeer of the Sacred Order of the Teabaggers:
How popular is the Tea Party Website?
At 5:30 AM, on Saturday morning of February 28th, 2009, I sat down at my desk and began developing TaxDayTeaParty.com. At the time, I had no idea who would join me or how many people would get involved, but I knew I was going to heavily promote it through the DontGo Movement lists and give it everything I had with regards to grassroots based marketing.
The site was almost an instant hit, getting slapped with surges of traffic in less than 48 hours. My good friends over at Smart Girls Politics joined up, followed by the folks at TCOT, and before we knew it, we had something BIG on our hands.
If the "slapped with surges of traffic" didn’t get you, then the "something BIG on our hands" definitely did.
These guys are the Bulwer-Lytton of political movements.

I went to the tea party website, and scrolled through the madness to see a post linking to Godlstein…
The cock slapper meets the teabagger.
My mind just exploded.
Just makes me swell with pride.
The cock slapper meets the teabagger.
Well, it would seem likely sooner or later.
/me ducks.
I’m telling yeah, a “Choke Full of Nuts” counter-protest works on a variety of levels….
Oh well, the protests will be both illuminating and entertaining. If this plays out like I think it will, there’s going to be a lot of GOPer’s that will disavow any identification with the movement. It should to be a real stinker.
So is the “Don’tGo Movement” some kind of association of anal-retentives?
They do seem to be full of sh*t.
Well, at least they’re not getting slapped by cocks.
I’m sure someone has already wondered about TBogging, right? Is it what I think it is?
Here’s the Lede for Thursday’s stories: “Teabaggers steamed. Tempest in a Teapot.”
I get the connection to the boston tea party- Patriotism, 1776, Ben Franklin, USA.
Symbolism.
But tea bags?
Not only because that term has become the pearl necklace of constant comment today.But, also, none of these yahoos know anything about tea except that its something Mel Gibson drank in The Patriot.
(In the 40’s and 50’s they would either be referencing toking up with their bras, or having cucumber sams and ea at a little after 4 in the afternoon with their lady friends)
As Atrios put it so sagely, last week, I wonder if these idiots know you can buy loose tea.
Guess they haven’t figured out how to use “the google” yet. Google “tea-bag” and #3 is from the Urban Dictionary. After reading the 3 pages of definitions they provide pretty clear that it is not a winner of a PR campaign.
Personally my favorite definition is the one that mentions David Vitter….
Doesn’t that sound even worse? “Come to the Tea Party, where the tea is loose!”
What’s that other ZZ hit? Oh yea,
“She’s got Bagz…she knows how to use them…”

(any photoshoppers out there, seems like it would be easy to turn that photo into Mann Coulter…wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
“It was a daft and stormy Right . . .”
perhaps, to honor them tomorrow, you might want to change your banner to:
TBAGG
I went to my local teabagging and all I saw was dicks and nuts…
Check it out (with pictures): http://thesubtlerudder.com/?p=681
The revolution will not be chamomile!
The body politic passes gas.
I miss the heaving alabaster bosoms.
Yah, TBogg, you said a mouthful…
Brrrump-bump. Thanks, folks. I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.
And here’s the full story:
“Teabaggers steamed. Tempest in a Teapot.”
by Harry Sack AP
The Teabagging party turned out to be less satisfying for many of the participants than they had hoped. “It really left a bad taste in my mouth,” said one. “I had hoped there would be more participation from some of the folks on the left. It was like we had to do all the work,” another added while attempting to remove what appeared to be a short, black thread caught in his teeth.
Can anyone tell me what the protest is about? I’ve gone to protests for 40 years but these protests escape me. Is it “no taxation without representation”? What is their message? I went to end the war, free the Chicago 8, pass ERA, don’t eat grapes, no nukes, impeach bush, etc. protests. They all had a core message. What the F**K is their message? Now I don’t like it but today teabagging has come to mean a way to humiliate someone by hanging your testicles over their face (or some sick thing like that). Is that their message: “I want to hang my testicles over your face” protest?
Don’t fire till you see thier brown eyes.

We should counter protest with a milk churning demonstration. Exhausted churners demand that people drink more tea!
TBagg…uh Bogg…TBogg,
“I’m sorry to be all teabag/all the time…“
No reason to apologize big guy. Your coverage of this issue is being featured on major sites all over the toobs: Digby’s place, Salon, etc. Once again, your investigative skills are the benchmark, the gold standard.
Btw, how did you know the term “teabagging” had a more prominent meaning than the one wingnuttia adopted? Just wondering….
Congratulations. You morons have discovered 2nd grade toilet humor. You should be proud of yourselves. You are now ALMOST to the intellectual level of George W. Bush. Way to go.
