TEABAG ZED!!

The inmates are running the asylum.

Just when I thought it was safe to open my e-mail, look what Fox News sent me… *G*

I haven’t heard of any tea parties here on the reservation. People have better uses of their time. Anything in your area Christy?

Spam filter not working? ;)

Not that I know of — if there are, they certainly aren’t well publicized here that I’ve heard about anyway.

Digg is open Pups!! As a prize Glenn Beck will send you a used TEABAG!

I allow them through, because sometimes you get a mockery gem like this one.

None in my area… nearest I heard about was in Sacratomatoe 2 hrs away!

You know that if these clowns were really serious about Obama’s budget expenditures they would be refusing to file their income taxes and be willing to take the consequences.

I’ll agree to the Digg, but keep the teabag, dude. I’m begging you.

but but but I thought you “Liked E’m”

Well, at least they’re not pretending to be fair and balanced anymore. On the other hand, there’s something slightly obscene about this whoe teabagging business (no pun intended). Seriously-we’ve reached the point where a major news network (such as it is) is openly promoting a political agenda, and not even trying to hide the fact.

Maybe it IS about time to bring the fairness doctrine back.

Wow — if you go, you can maybe catch a live glimpse of Neil Cavuto who will be broadcasting — LIVE AND IN PERSON — from there all day long. Talk about incentive…to not go…

it’s a grassrots movement to be sure.

Nominating Mary McCurrin for the Sacto bagfest. Do I hear seconds?

And while we’re at it,let’s call Sean, and Neil and Glenn, and Greta and the rest of ‘em, what they really are, not teabaggers.

Whores.

Hey, the Teabag movement is grass roots, just with aerial sowing.

Is she from the Sacto bagfests — or the Bilbo bagfests?

Actually there is a very good reason to be there – I assume the one in Sacto is at the Capitol – and it’s not the Tea Baggers Ball.

Senate Health Committee Hearing of SB 810 (Single Payer Healthcare)

Senate Health Committee Hearing of SB 810 (Leno)
Wed. April 15th at 1:30pm (Special Order)
State Capitol, Room 4203

SB 810 (Leno) Kick–Off Event

SB 810 (the new single payer bill) has been introduced into the legislature. The
first public hearing on the bill is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15th before the Senate Health Committee. Please join us for lunch and targeted legislative visits prior to the hearing at 1:30 in Room 4203. We are hoping to turnout hundreds of supporters to show that the movement for single payer is growing – and that it is the only real health reform proposal that covers everyone and will contain costs. If you cannot be in Sacramento, you can still help (see below).

You have that Right Christy, I could never listen to Neil Cavuto it would be like pouring Sulfuric Acid into my ears… Burning Fire!!

Now I’m gonna get stomped if I wade into late nite this evening.
withdrawn :-)
But I’ll bet she was going anyway.

Turds… Mary is much Closer and she can give good ol’e Neil a piece of her mind!!

I’d love to see a bunch of people go to that one dressed as Eddie Munster.

mwee heee — luverly photo.

Actually, since Faux has been promoting the teabagger orgies, I’ve been saying that they are pimping the parties.

Oh, Christy, you are a redheaded fox. We are laughing at our house about this fox-in-the-henhouse post.

Thanks!

It’s ever so slightly creepy how much the pimping has been — but the e-mail out to all their “Fox Fans” makes me wonder if they were expecting a lower turnout and they are trying to roust out bodies for the cameras. Anyone else wondering the same thing?

I could not help myself, Teddy. Truly, this was an e-mail gift directly from Fox News. How could I possibly pass it up given the snark potential?

I hope that some of the people from the Lake will go and take pictures. Should be fun. Maybe Teddy will cover the thousands of baggers who will attend in SF – not.

Nice link…

If you want, you can send a postcard on the Fox News website to your Fox News fan pals about the Fox News coverage of the Fox News Anti-Tax Tea Party day. Foxy!

Jane and you keep giving them reasons to STFU, and they just can’t help themselves.

Shouldn’t the GOP have to report all this cash Fox News and the secret groups funding the Tea Baggers as a political contribution? This one sided anti Obama stuff is not issue orientated.
Anti big government spending, intrusion into our lives where were all these concerned citizens when Bush was in charge?

You should see the whole e-mail — you can seriously listen to a message from all four Fox News hosts about the Fox News Tax Day Tea Party! It’s so awesome I may have to gouge my ears out…

You are braver than I, letting Faux Snooze emails into your computer.

Basking in the glow of W? (I just threw up a little in my mouth.)

It’s my little sacrifice for you, Teddy. *G*

How grassrootsy these teabaggers are!

Whooops — I take it back, I just looked at the e-mail again: you can hear a message from Neil Cavuto and organizers of the tea party events in San Antonio, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. — as recorded by Fox News and played from the Fox News website.

But all four will be broadcasting live from those cities all day tomorrow in their live Fox News event.

Thrilling, isn’t it? No…um…really. Chills down my spine and everything.

Instead of the “astroturf” that has marked the ACORN-organized AIG protests, this movement is real grassroots.

ACORN is the GOP’s year 2009 Imaginary Caddy Driving Welfare Queen?
We have the Net now to expose lies the Main Stream Media never does or has the GOP still not learned that lesson yet?
Real Grassroots Net Organizers could have told the Tea Baggers that, if only they allowed comments and debated dissenting views on their blogs.

Meant to say message from Cavuto and a message from Glenn Beck as well. The other two — Van Susteran and Hannity — apparently don’t rate a recorded message to the Fox Fans about Fox awesomeness during the Fox Tea Party Extravaganza.

Wonder what Hannity feels about that…

Stay Calm!

Maybe I should go meditate about lower taxes and off-shore accounts…oooh, I’m all tingly again.

Watching torture tapes in a dark theater with Bush and Cheney while Condi and the other wives were away?

got EPU’d with this one but lost some formatting:

updating an old chestnut, Tea for Two:

I’m evicted from homes that I rent
So I inhabit my parents’ basement.
Darling, this place’s lovely owe basis
Where life’s cheery paste is my own
Far from the crowded city
Where flowers pretty caress the scream
Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in,
Don’t let it apart in my dream-

Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone

Nobody near us to see us or hear us Mm, mm, mm,
No friends or relations Mm, mm, mm,
On weekend vacations Mm, mm, mm.
We won’t have it known, dear,
That we own a blogo-phone, dear…

Wouldn’t it be nice to know where all the Faux folks hide their assets.

Dude, I’d just love to know if they have any real reporters hiding in there anywhere.

As digby warns, this may be a sickly funny perversion of legitimate grass roots protest and of the history of the real Boston Tea Party. But it could also be an effective way to channel rightwing angst about a legitimately threatening future, a future the Republicans built.

It could be the foundation, an organizational tool, a headline banner, that will allow that angst to be channeled against Obama in future, whether about it is against the bank bail-out that Fox Noise and its controllers actually favor, or against Supreme Court or other nominees for public office, tax increases, or whatever else ails Roger Ailes.

Republicans often appear stupid and often are. But they are superb at organizing smears and at directing anger away from themselves and their priorities and toward those with whom the Angry actually have much more in common.

You are Kidding aren’t you??

Which is why pointing out the fraudulent run-up on this is all the more important before it happens. Yes?

You know you love Sean Hannity. He’s such a paragon of even-handedness and honesty.

(That hurt just to type, even in a snide tone.)

Latest from Think Progress on the “Tea Party”
FreedomWorks Orchestrates ‘Grassroots’ Movements To Serve Dick Armey’s Corporate Clients

ThinkProgress reported last week that corporate lobbyists are helping to orchestrate the anti-Obama tea party protests. These lobbying run front groups, along with promotion help from Fox News, are organizing the tea parties by calling right-wing activists and asking them to organize. They are also coordinating conference calls among activists, writing press releases, providing sign ideas, building websites supporting the protests, and distributing talking points so that the protesters can stay on message.

OUCH!! Christy don’t hurt yourself!!

Well, whomever came up with the “teabag the dems before they teabag you” sign deserves a medal for all the belly laughs we’ve had over it at this house.

hehehehehehe

Are Teabaggers really Dirtbaggers? America Wants to Know!

This whole thing would be funny if they weren’t disparaging an Historic moment at the beginning of our country and coming from Boston it sure pisses me off that they would do this. The Republicans had nothing to do with our founding and to see them use such an event for such a stupid event is disgusting. I hope this helps to point out to all citizens just how selfish they are. They don’t want to pay taxes which is for the common good of all.

Did someone mention my name?

Are Teabaggers really Dirtbaggers douchebags? America Wants to Know!

There!!

Keith is on!! His opening is as usual Right ON!

“TEABAG” eve…. ha ha ha ha

You were nominated to attend the Teabag debacle in SACTO by Newt… But really you should Mary so you can write another Diary describing them cup by cup!!

yes, beauty. are you going to the capitol tomorrow for the healthcare hearing?

Great idea!!! West steps of the capitol building. Anybody else want to go? John?

glad to see you here. do tell what he has to say.

I wasn’t but maybe I can get some teabagging done and then go to the meeting. Or whatever comes first. I am taking my camera.

see john @20 for the info about the hearing. for the tea party you’ll have to consult the teabagging aficionados.

The teabladder thingie starts at noon. The universal, single payer important thingie starts at 1:30 in the same building. Should I wear my reporter hat?

As long as you take your Purell™, doesn’t matter what you wear.

Hey Mary

I was thinking about going (to the healthcare hearing) but I’d have to take the bus … unless you felt like swinging by

what do you have in the way of a hat with tea roses?

Had to go out for a moment. Email me mary at da hot house dot com.

Phoenix Woman’s Silo post is upstairs (this is getting exciting)!
Franken-Coleman Update, 04/14/09 (PM Edition): Eric Black Gets It

Indubitably.

Nice catch Christy. Sorry I’m late to the party.

Does anyone else think Cabooto bears an eerie resemblance to that beevis character fella? or was it but-ed, or glenn.. gawlleee. it’s all such conphooeyness.
