Rachel Maddow and Ana Marie Cox have a bit of fun at the teabaggers' expense. I don't know how either one of them made it through this segment without completely busting a gut.
Media Matters has the detailed factual rundown.

The comedy writes itself, thanks to the rethugs. They're like the bad guys in an extremely sophmoric sex comedy from the mid-80's; all pompous and ignorant of the unintended double-entendres, their cartoonish evil held in check by their breathtaking incompetence.
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot". - Mark Twain
submitted by a proud tea bagger!! WAKE UP,SHEEPLE!!

You fool. You can try to spin this around to make yourself feel better. But your party is the one who put this country in the hole it's in. Now just sit down and stfu. Adults have to go to work now to fix your fuckup.
with a straight face.
AMAZING.

Rather ironical statement.
She did crack up a little there, when the crew couldn't take it. However, I give her high points for letting go only a little!
now.
from the Party of Family Values, Diaper Davey Vitter,
Larry "Widestance" Craig, Billoofa Orally,
Joe "Dead Women Tell no Tales" Scarborough etc etc
shenanigans: you can take the fratboys out of the frat, but your can't take the frat out of these fratboys.
LOL. Bunch of privileged incompetent jackasses, blowing a fuse because their daddy's money and clout is no longer any good. They are throwing the temper tantrum of the century.
Oh, that made me laugh. Sticking their balls is peoples mouths won't help their cause.
I have never heard this term tea bagger. Thanks to your frank words, I'm getting the idea now. Which is the "tea bagger". The one with the testicles or the one with the mouth?
the song about being a little teapot. In that song, girls learn they have both the handle and the spout, and that if they are short and stout they can forget about men so they better like girls or learn why they have both handles and spouts.
Boys just learn about beating gay guys up. Answer your question?
The teabagger is the one with the testicles. Which makes the whole idea of "teabagging" Congress doubly hysterical, since some of them would doubtless welcome it.
I didn't want to be so grotesque, but in this case I thought it would drive it home. This whole thing has become as much of a joke as the fact that they didn't get what it meant. I was listening to AM radio in Indiana just a little bit ago and the local Republican station was announcing meeting times and different places. They said that they put it up on their website so that if anyone wanted to attend that they could find out about it. Also, they were talking about how ACORN was planning on interfering with it and all. Now, this was supposed to be the news. The damn news. Said they were protesting government spending, government freaking spending. Crazy.
Sorry about the crude language though, PoP.
Also, they were talking about how ACORN was planning on interfering with it
ACORN? Interfere with teabagging? Tell me I'm nuts because I'm not sure anyone's got the balls to be this testy.
(I'm sorry, really, I am)
when the media did it's job.
I about lost it when she mentioned Vitter.
I thought we were a nation of coffee drinkers
Damn elitists!

So explain to me why Jon Stewart hasn't had one of his correspondents do a story on this? Because it's just MADE for Jason Jones.
Props to Rachel for a great segment!
John Oliver!
Either would be great, though. Oliver for all the insane jokes about tea and history and England, and Jones for his ability to straight-face it through the most unbelievably irony-challenged interviews. (He does have a knack for getting people to just keep digging themselves in deeper.)
They should both do it!
Jason on the street interviewing "teabaggers" (gods, I crack up just thinking of how he'd let them humiliate themselves) and Oliver in the studio doing analysis with Jon.
It'd take me a week to catch my breath.
Enter:
Rob Corddry!
teabag or you can wear a diaper. You can't do both can you? Does Vitter have custom crotchless diapers?
Maybe that is where his wife drew the line, forcing the upright and moral senator to satisfy his "needs" with professional sex purveyors (aka Hookers)
The party of family values strikes again!
I don't know how they got through that segment. I was cracking up the entire time.
Do Republicans have any CLUE about the term they're using? You'd thought one of 'em would have said, "Guys, ya know, maybe 'tea-partying' would be a better term..."
Then again, these are the same folks who though Stephen Colbert was actually on their side.
republicans!
synchronize your watches!!!
we will now pose as anti-big government in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
A far more mature and reserved segment than the teabaggers deserve.
Nothing about Michael Steel sucking up to team teabag?
Or the any number of republican politicians blackballed from the teabag events?
Good point!
It really does suck for Steel that he got blackballed.
Have I used the proper search categories?
And here I thought he was born that way.
In order to suck up to the team teabaag, Steele would have to swallow his pride.......
Well, that would be a load off his mind, even if he has to get a grip on the situation.
I really don't know why they have such a hair across their teeth over him.
We have a winner!
nicely done!
... the colonists tossed the taxed tea overboard and refused to pay the British Crown for it.
What are these weak-kneed chicken-livered revolutionaries gonna do? Refuse to actually pay their taxes?
Maybe they want to give thought to the fact that Al Capone never got busted for his crimes ... he got busted for tax evasion.
to govt officials...
... to put the blame on them, in case the Brits decided to request some responsibiliy.
Quite the "heroic" bunch if you ask me. No wonder they are idolized by these chikenshit knuckle draggers.
Indeed.
Dentures
why there is no post on the question asked of Gibbs about wiretapping?
boy did that get pissy or what?
concerns about Ozzy at the Alamo, or the dude who wants us to MYOFB?
to teabab anne coulter and beckerhead
I wouldn't do that. Those psychos have teeth!
A: So she can piss and moan at the same time.
Buick invoked
Why am I missing the Buick connection? Tiger was at the Obama invocation, but it wasn't the one with Pastor Rick. What is the deal?
to the Party of Dingle Dangling...
and toe tapping at the Minneapolis airport men's room.
the John Waters movie, "Pe cker". ROFL
Who is the new fat guy?
.
I am curious if people will be bringing their children for the group teabagging events.
I found my way to a conservative blog where someone commented that he was sorry he'd missed a teabagging rally because his 10 yo daughter would have loved it! LOL
Let's rally millions to burn their credit cards.
to Credit Cards!
plastic!
Visa! Leave those kids alone!
to your credit rating. And BankAmerica would raise my rates.
You say its just blog snark, Evet, but what if that had been real gasoline in Beck's can?
yawn or the kids would say wow, neat, kewl!
We won't charge!
Cox
of a dying newspaper chain.
Is insanitea the new name for what we used to call locoweed?
Is it good with lemon?
i'd like to have a spot of tea with ana marie cox. this "tea party" movement is fine. wallStreet definitely wants the spot light off them for awhile. i realize lawmakers are part of this mess but i still say wallStreet was the mastermind.
is talk radio personality Ed Schultz. He has a very good show. Pro labor and progressive. Check him out. I think it is on at five o'clock central time.
but he had some hardcore righties on there...and Al Sharpton to counter them...not too terribly impressive...I'm still a Shuster fan.
during midday aimed at appealing to PUMA audiences.
Turgid repubs excited about the prospect of public teabagging...lurid, and unsurprising.
There is a post at Daily Kos with the 'Sex And The City' girls...
The wingnut umbrage is hysterical. It is sad, however, that unemployed, scared, exasperated people are being manipulated by faux and some of the cnbc wingers.

The tea party hit us last weekend. The way it was sold you may not have realized it was a republican deal. The local media outlets kept pushing the "it's not about party" bit that was being fed to them.
http://www.quincynews.org/local-news/tea-part...
expense! ;)
I would really love to walk up to a protest and ask them what exactly they're protesting for or against.
Do they really want a lighter tax burden on our rich people and corporations and more taxes for themselves?
Are they protesting losing their right to... uh... what rights are being taken away, again?
Are they protesting bailouts that have already happened? What do they want the government to do, exactly?
I would really love to walk up to a protest. I'm just afraid I'd be the target of violence, once they realized they couldn't convince me to support them.
I'm broke, and would happily like one of these f*ckheads to assault me so I could later sue the hell out of him.
I have to say it...
How can these people be protesting taxes AT A TIME WHEN ALMOST ALL AMERICANS' TAXES ARE GOING DOWN? If they are so outraged by today's tax rates, maybe they should crack open a history book and read about how horrible things were for America when the top income bracket paid 90%. (That was the 1950's, when EISENHOWER (R) was president, and things weren't exactly horrible.
I don't understand these people. They give me a headache.
Eisenhower was a known agent of the international communist conspiracy according to Welch.
Are you related to Farrakhan the Enchanter?
I don't believe we are related. I enchant in a much fiery manner.
I don't understand these people.
Don't try. You'll only hurt yourself.
They are protesting the banker bailout. Not taxes.
Somebody better sit the pinheads that run the Repug party down and explain to them what the common usage, yea, what the street argot definition is for, ah, teabagging, otherwise Glen or Billo or some other tard will start talking about felching the liberal congresss. C'mon, please tell me that some comedy writer for Jon Stewart or Steve Colbert is their official publicist, or infiltrated the inner sanctum of the Dark Star, i.e., the repugs and is currently running their marketing "strategy". I laughed so hard I spit up!
Things are all wacky and weird, and shit is flying willy-nilly every which way, and I’ve tried to find some mind silence in this shallow vacuous environment. I pushed large embroidered pillows I got on my visit to Snyder Swamp against my ears – I even concealed my face to throw those hell hounds of negativity off my trail, if only temporarily. As they prance by with that sort of purposefulness in their stride, I snidely bellow “No, don't you even try to catch my eye, it sits frozen in its place! Here inside it's invitation only!” It's lonely being an imposter, but I'm forced to say that I cannot see them now. Yet everywhere I walk I'm crushing something, and on top of that I cannot see nor find the stairs. I'd like to share my sores and the odd chancre with them over coffee, but the line at the local over-priced over-roasted variations on brown water emporium is 1000 years long... And someone stole my fucking badge and now I've lost the right to be here or breathe the air – It’s the fucking O.C. fer chrissakes! It's not fair, but that's just the way things are. And I cannot see them now... But through it all, the princess in my mind holds my hand and assures me there's an island out there yet unfucked by human hands or simple minds. You must simply keep believing, she says, don’t let the light in, and simply keep your eyes fixed on the morning. So I threw my embroidered pillows to the wind and I wait for my wings.
We should send moles into the wingnut forums to toss the word "felching" around casually, with the implication that it means "rebel" or "stick it to The Man". It'll work its way up gradually to the Faux Brigade, and then we can all have another bout of ROFLMAO.
Good times!
Ms. Maddow married? Would she date a 35 year old Texas Skatepunk? Only in my dreams I guess.
much to my dismay, she already has a girlfriend. Otherwise I'd spirit her to Vermont and marry her myself! :)
And I can totally understand why you gentlemen find her so attractive. She's brilliant!
If you're a woman...
Tell them your city is having a huuuuuuge teabag party! You're expecting over 100,000 people to protest the Obama Socialist Government! It will be HUUUUUGE!
Fox will dispatch camera crews to non existent demonstrations all over America. The real "protests" will get less coverage. Glenn Beck will look like a fool.
Then film the poor lost Fox News teams and put them on Youtube.
.
Just outside of Cleveland, we will be hosting a teabagging party on the Cleveland Steamer, a reconstructed paddle wheeler. Entertainment will be provided by Dirty Sanchez and his Rusty Trombones. Showers (both golden and brown) will be available for those participating in the shrimping contest, and a salad tossing contest will be held on the promenade deck.
Is this a BYOB party?
One of the more anticipated teabagging events will be held at Cole Farms outside Raliegh, NC on July 4th this summer. There will be a BBQ and free soda for the kids, plus lots of rousing speeches from right wing advocates and a prayer service at the end. But by far the biggest highlight will be a retirement ceremony involving 50 old and torn American flags, which will be placed at the bottom of a 6' hole and lit ablaze, all to the tune of "God Bless America".
This event will be known as "The Flaming Old Glory Hole and Teabag Party".
So come one, come all, you'll have so much fun, you won't know what to do with yourself.
There is also a concerted effort to better organize and coordinate teabagging events between the various conservative groups around the country thus bypassing obstacles and barriers which could block the way toward a more unified front.
Conservative organizers are referring to this effort as the "Reach Around Initiative".
...but Ms. Cox was the poster-woman of stoicism. How she did all that with a straight face is beyond me, and a thing to be commended.
...we should all send Teabagger Spokesman Vitter diapers.
I think we should get dozens of our friends to attend local teabagging parties and start chanting:
BREATHE THROUGH YOUR NOSE.....BREATHE THROUGH YOUR NOSE.....BREATHE THROUGH YOUR NOSE.
(for those scratching their heads, just check out the Sex and the City teabagging episode).
Anna Marie was hilarious!
How cute that the 13 year old boy with the poster, wants to "teabag" me, a 57 year old liberal Democrat...
Apologies to those that just threw up a little bit, but it had to be said.
Of course he will have to go find another liberal Democrat to "teabag".
I wonder what would happen if someone filled Vitter's diaper with tea and dipped him in a warm swimming pool?
.
with john oliver sipping tea. very funny.
What does the crowd at a Teabagging event have in common with the Greek army?
Well, they're armed to the teeth, poorly educated, and most of them came inside a big horse at one point.
Given the right wing hatred of anything sexual, this headline is quite ironic..
I laugh at the desperate, sore losers and bedwetting morons that listen to this steamy pile of Faux noise shit.
Such a shame the this will go over the righties' collective heads.
I am sick of the bankers being bailed out too, these media morons at fox have no business saying anything. This is not a left or right thing, its too bad the Douchbag repubs who spent like drunken sailors should not even show their face.
The right wing is pulling yet another scam on the American public, this time as 95% of Americans get a tax cut, a small portion of the other 5% wants to wine about it like a bunch of stuck pigs. Now they want to re-wright the history the Boston Tea party to suit their fat bloated ways. The real history is that the colonists protested the East India Company for getting a free tax ride while the colonists paid hefty taxes, thus creating un fair competition from boat loads of tax free tea. This the corporate friendly few want to turn into an anti tax day. All because their tax rates jump from 32% to 39%!!!!
