No matter how hard Fox News tried, the rest of the United States was underwhelmed by the "teabagging" protests. The Octomom and Amy Winehouse's latest drug bust had bigger ratings. After the autopsy, it reaffirmed what we already knew: it was a ridiculous, vulgar, racist, misguided and pathetic display of frustration and rage. This wasn't a vast, populist uprising. It was the same angry white people who showed up during the McPalin's doomed presidential campaign. It was the same 26% of the country who supported Bush in spite of how bad he was. (Everybody else, however, was sick of Republican ideology and voted accordingly.) All the screaming about "taxes" was a lie to hide their bigotry behind. The teabaggers are terrified at finding themselves on the wrong side of history, but it's already too late. Their noisy delusions didn't keep Obama from being elected to the White House, and it won't get him out.
