Re: Tea Party Updates

I'm no expert, but I thought this was supposed to be a "grassroots" style demonstration. I guess all organizers have a different plan but I heard most cities turned down any political figures (governors, congressionals and heads of the RNC) as speakers. Maybe I don't understand it that well.

There was some coverage on local news, not a lot. There was some coverage on CNN where one reporter was interviewing but kept interrupting and arguing with the interviewee. That one will be on YouTube... MSN's Olberman got a lot of giggles out of the "tea bagging" phrase, suggesting it in a rather obscene context. He could barely contain himself (I didn't get it until I looked it up on an urban dictionary). He declared the nation-wide event a complete failure. The lefties seem very threatened about it, actually.

I'll watch FOX tomorrow and get their take on it.
