Poor Babies


Seems the rightwing dolts over at Power Line have finally been clued in on the, ah, other meaning of "teabagging" and they have their panties in the usual wad over it:
There is not only something funny going on here, there is a story here. These supposed journalists and their networks (or publisher, in Sullivan's case) have rather seriously insulted the citizens who colorfully took to the streets to air respectable views in a most civil fashion. If they had any decency, Cooper et al. would apologize for their vile reference to sexual practices in the context of ordinary citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.
Note that these are the same sort of people who are all "hey, it was a joke, can't you take a little joke?" When Ann Coulter calls John Edwards a "faggot" or Rush Limbaugh cracks that Ted Kennedy will be dead before the health care bill passes. These are the same people who like to portray liberals as humorless and stuffy over "politically correct" language. It ain't so funny when you're the joke, is it, wingnuts? Well, here's your remedy...

STOP BEING A JOKE. ACT LIKE A SERIOUS POLITICAL PARTY INSTEAD OF A BUNCH OF CRANKS PROTESTING TAX "INCREASES" WHEN YOU PROBABLY GOT A TAX CUT. AND TAKE THOSE STUPID-ASS TEA BAGS OFF YOUR SILLY HATS.

Ohforghodsake. THEY picked the term "teabagging". THEY pushed it all over the airwaves. THEY made a big hairy friggin' deal out of it. And they didn't do their basic homework, and made fools of THEMSELVES. But somehow it's everyone else's fault, none of theirs.

Welfare mentality.

I'm trying to remember who once wrote that every political party should have a teenage boy on staff to alert them when any slogan or phrase they want to use will provoke unintended hilarity.

"big hairy friggin' deal"

That depends on the person doesn't it?

We weren't supposed to notice that they had egg all over their faces, much less that they'd collected and cooked and served those eggs themselves.
