Well, the teabaggers are holding another lightly-attended conference (TeaCon) this weekend in Chicago. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the “liberal” media from lavishing extensive coverage of the event.
One of the featured speakers was the violence-espousing, hygiene-challenged, habitually-lying hate-monger by the name of Andrew Breitbart. It was a tailor-made incoherent rambling for the teabagger audience, devoid of facts or substantive intellectual analysis. Instead, it was filled with reactionary raw-meat rhetoric, obscenities, baseless accusations and personal insults. In the course of his rant, Breitbart told organized labor to “fuck off” (because they ask for outrageous things like collective bargaining rights and decent wages and benefits). He also sputtered that Janeane Garofolo was ”Hollywood’s sympathy fuck” and that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was a “bitch” (Andrew has a problem with women who are obviously much more intelligent than himself). Of course, the hate-filled, know-nothing attendees roared their ignorant approval.
This latest teabagger story reminded me of a recent “news story” in the brilliant Borowitz Report.
Rabid Dog Briefly Mistaken for Tea Party Candidate
Receives Standing Ovation at Missouri Rally
JEFFERSON CITY, MO (The Borowitz Report) – A rabid Doberman Pinscher jumped on stage at a Tea Party rally in Missouri on Labor Day and barked at the crowd for nearly twenty minutes before people realized he was not a candidate.The dog, later identified by its owner as “Mister Buster,” held the crowd spellbound as he barked, growled, and frothed at the mouth, eventually receiving a standing ovation for his exertions.
Gwendolene Thomason, 42, a Tea Party supporter from Jefferson City, was one of the hundreds on hand who were convinced that the Doberman was a Tea Party candidate until he was outed as a dog.
“I liked what he had to say,” she said. ”He reminded me of Glenn Beck, only furrier.”
The Doberman’s canine identity finally became clear when he lunged at a man in the front row and wrested a hamburger from his right hand, taking two of the man’s fingers with it.
While the discovery that Mister Buster was not a Tea Party candidate disappointed many in attendance, Ms. Thomason held out hope that, dog or no, he might consider running for office at some point.
“I liked the way he bit off that guy’s hand, and the way he did his business in the middle of the stage,” she said. ”We need more of that in Washington.”
I wonder who was foaming at the mouth more…Mister Buster or the flea-infested Andrew?
