Looking back on it

Teabagging day was even lamer than previously imagined.

Honestly, though, I have a mixed reaction to these (heavily funded and nationally promoted) spontaneous outbursts of right wing nuttery. On the one hand, teabagging parties are a treasure trove of unintentional humor and quaint ironies.

On the other hand, they're a frightening gauge on the degree to which delusional a-historical hate thought gets treated as a substantial portion of the national political debate.

They're almost exactly like a NOLA.com comments thread... if it was able to eat into a few minutes of John Gibson's vacation time.
