The problem with the "tea party" the "coffee party" the "vodka party"...whatever...is there's no real leadership or sense of direction. They want people to jump on their bandwagon while they are still figuring out who they are.
To which I responded:
I beg to differ. The teepers may not know who or what they are, but some of us do, since it's just not that tough to i.d. them. For example, here they are in San Diego yesterday, partying like it's 1939.
We know who their leaders are as well. As this photo of typically pale, geriatric, and Social-Security-drawing tea enthusiasts was snapped, they were being regaled by one of their most prominent leaders, Me-star Gingrich. Others include, as everyone knows, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and the somewhat fading but nevertheless still viable Mr. Rush Limbaugh.
We even know who their historical precedents were, but I'm not allowed to go there for fear of breaking Godwin's law. So I'll just say that a few centuries down the road, future historians and archaeologists will study with great interest the artifacts, customs, and superstitions of the early 21st-century tea parties.
