Power Line Tea Bagging Comedy

I wrote previously how the tea bagging protests received underwhelming numbers. The astroturf movement was created by Fox News, Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey and corporate friends of the GOP. An April 2 Fox News poll found only 32 percent willing to attend tea parties. Conservatives should have learned from the Harriet Miers nomination. All credibility is gone once a cause becomes a national punchline.

Power Line blogger Scott Johnson vents his anger by unleashing a comedy masterpiece. Money quote.

The star hosts of CNN and MSNBC news shows have notoriously derided the tea party demonstrations around the country with reference to the practice of teabagging (which I had never heard of before they brought it up).

It gets even better. Johnson accuses Rachel Maddow of sexually practicing tea bagging. Johnson doesn't explain how Maddow would perform the deed with her lesbian partner. Has Johnson heard about lesbians? Seriously.

There is something funny going on here, if not exactly where Cooper, Maddow and Sullivan find it. Cooper is widely reputed to be homosexual. Maddow and Sullivan are of course public homosexuals. It is funny in an ironic sort of way that these folks choose to disparage the tea party protesters from somewhere inside the homosexual subculture. Why not just call the protesters girly boys and let everyone in on the joke? Or would that spoil the fun?

Johnson thinks only homosexuals engage in tea bagging. That is silly. I like to see Johnson's reaction when he finds out what ass to mouth means. His parents obviously never had that talk with him about sex. Poor boy.

I find it interested the Power Line bloggers don't know what tea bagging means. These bloggers used to have the online names Hind Rocket and Big Trunk. This is the last conservative blog that should be defending the Right against the Left's use of the words tea bagging.
