Tea and Crackers

Rolling Stone's Matt Taibi has an excellent analysis of the tea party movement.  Here's a taste:

This, then, is the future of the Republican Party: Angry white voters hovering over their cash-stuffed mattresses with their kerosene lanterns, peering through the blinds at the oncoming hordes of suburban soccer moms they've mistaken for death-panel bureaucrats bent on exterminating anyone who isn't an illegal alien or a Kenyan anti-colonialist.

I will continue to say it: the tea party movement is made up of people who pretty much are loons and are not serious about responsible governance.  


Fortunately, only 22% of people believe that tea party sweetheart Sarah Palin is qualified to be president.
