You may remember that one of the prime movers behind the Great Teabagging of America (besides the people who funded the astroturf groups. And Fox news. And talk radio.) was a blog called Smart Girl Politics which is kind of like a meeting place for the Fashion Bug coordinating sets set who gather to talk conservative politics and exchange recipes. For treason.

One of the guiding lights at SGP is Director of Congressional and Candidate Outreach Rebecca Wales who, when she’s not outreaching to congressionals and candidates, well…let’s just say Rebecca is more of an "idea person" than a "follow through person":

WASHINGTON — It was a great idea, really. Take a million tea bags and dump them in Lafayette Park to protest government spending. Hip, hip, hoo-ray!

But a funny thing happened en route to a visually pleasing Tax Day protest. The National Park Service said the tea party protesters didn’t have the proper permit to dump their bags.

So instead of a raucous visual demonstration, all that was left were images of the tea party packing up their boxes of tea on a cold, soggy day in D.C.

Doh!

"We have a million tea bags here, and we don’t have a place to put them because it’s not on our permit," said Rebecca Wales, lead organizer of D.C. Tea Party.

Fight the power, folks, but next time check your permits before acquiring 1 million tea bags.

Okay. That didn’t go very well.

So maybe Rebecca should go on Pajamas TV and present a well-researched and thoughtful Smart Girl response to the nomination of Sonia Sotomayer to the Supreme Court.

It’s like watching a tweaker trying to place an order at Sonic.

Really. Roger Simon needs to start charging for this shit.
