Courtesy of Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-Lollipop Guild) we present a snapshot of a quantity a bunch a multitude a large crowd a scrotum of teabaggers who descended upon the Capital today to get all shouty about the possibility of spending as much money on public health care as we have spent on those two highly rewarding wars that are still going on with no end in sight.
Since the Park Service no longer provided crowd estimates, we’ll call this a “pretty good turnout for a Night Ranger reunion… on a school night”.
For context, below is the crowd that showed up to see that Kenyan guy who is currently trashing the Founders idea of a good time
To put the teabaggers crowd in greater context; Today, in my neighborhood, 5,000 people showed up to drink on the water and to watch the people who were drinking on the water from the shore.

Jeebus, that is funny. ROTFLMAO
I can smell the empty wrinkled old angry rightwing men on medicare ball sacks from my house. Ewwwwwwwwww!
But but… THOSE CROWDS CAME FOR THE DECEMBRISTS!
Michele Bachmann is a Kenyan guy?
and 2 million DFH’s inhaled sharply after gut-laughing all the way to the conclusion of the dirtiest version of the infamous joke that they had ever heard. Comedian Bob Saget was reached for comment the next day, stating “Wow, 40 minutes long and even I was blushing half the time. Wow. I am stunned.”
SD has Floatopia, while DeeCee has Float-dope-ia. Apparently the concept of “the gym” is a Librul conspiracy too in the mind of a T-bagger.
That first picture looks suspiciously like a bunch of punk staffers during their lunch break.
Nice Try, Senor Bogg, but I have it on good authority from people who were there on the ground that it was more like 100,000 people.
Doesn’t that first pic look like every human being in Green Bay, WI got lost on their way to the NFL Draft and just happened to converge on the Capitol steps? Yeah, told you so.
I recall how your “good authority” turned 30,000 teabaggers into 1 million. Try telling the truth once in a blue moon. And take a high school math course. Also.
Well, if that number is correct, someone should send him this inauguration pic and have him confirm the crowd size. Based on the same proprietary conservative size estimating inflation index, I guess he’d have to agree that there were 50MM people in DC for the Kenyan’s coronation.
Is it me or is there a serious distortion in the field of view in the teabagger pic? There seems to be a 1/4 mile of space missing in front of the reflecting pond. Was Limbaugh there today and did he eat it?
I think the correct term for that kind of gathering, you know in the sense of “a gaggle of geese”, “a bevy of doves”, “a shrewdness of apes”, and so on, is:
“a Matlock of Teabaggers”.
Some people need to replace the batteries in their sarcastometer.
Darn it. Supposed to do that on Spring Forward day, completely forgot.
Yeah, what’s up with that? How does all that real estate disappear?
I thought everyone was there just to hear Elizabeth Alexander…
Scrotum of teabaggers.
Sorry, still laughing (and cleaning coffee off my screen). That one needs to be in the dictionary.
It looks like there might be couple of readers over there trying to be the voices of reason but it also seems that they are ignored.

Come for the Bassets, stay for the snark

Hee! Though Andy’s a big Dem.
Here in Portland, OR we’ve had inexplicable snippets of the media yet again giving the teabaggers a pseudo legit voice. On Friday, the fundie (and lame) free weekly Portland Tribune ran article about the baggers in which we libruls were meant to take notice over the “hundreds” of people that showed up for one of their rallies.
This morning’s local news featured a quite hillbillyesque bagger announcing that a yes vote would be “political death” for our Dem congressmen in their very blue districts.
On the plus side, apparently they’re all gonna seceed when this goes down. Guess that one red district in our state (geographically the largest, population and income the smallest) will now grow by another 300 or so people!!!

This alone will ensure your place in history, let alone blogging history.
Women will want you, men will want to be you. Dogs and cats will set aside their differences to show their appreciation. Conservatives will gnash their teeth and curse the day you were born. Somewhere in DC, Dick Armey weeps, calling out, “Who would have thought a good little blogger like TBogg could destroy my beautiful wickedness!”
Our demonic snark machine never fails, period!
I came for the snark and stayed for the Bassets. Either way, hanging around this place makes a lot of people smile. You can see how Tbogg came to be somewhat popular.
The Bassets are snarky too!
Old men yell at clouds.
How is it that the corrupt little runt McHenry hasn’t been indicted yet?
OK, maybe they should have kept the “free speech zones”. Maybe a couple scrotums worth. Chain link. Somewhere close like Annapolis.
