Before getting to National Teabagging Batshit Crazy Day (which I will get to later as I am still marinating in it having WORKED ALL DAY) I just wanted to share a little exchange between commenters over at Michelle Malkin’s House O’ Bedlamites because it just says so much:

Oh, and BTW — we don’t really expect much out of New York, which lives entirely on Federal subsidies. Welfare for the poor, bailouts for the bankers, and OUTRAGE! at the people of flyover country don’t add up to much material.

for every federal tax dollar paid in NY, only 79 cents come back to the state. the rest goes to flyover country. you’re welcome.

Uh, so only $.21 goes to support the COUNTRY? Like defense? or border security? or Washington?

Interesting…

Keep in mind that it is from this pool of talent that Republicans must drink deep in order to achieve what Mark Ambinder calls "meaningful political participation".
