EXPLAINING THE TEA PARTY (and Rick Perry) ...

Have you ever wondered how something as serious as this ...



... could be hijacked and morphed into the functional equivalent of this?


Well, wonder no more. First, you start with the Bush Titanic ...




Then you sprinkle in some major blame shifting ...



... with true believer footsoldiers who look like this.


Then sprinkle in some major disinformation about taxes (and unemployment) when, as former Reagan adviser Bruce Bartlett made clear, the reality is quite different ...





Then you add in the continuous rants of media clowns like Rush Limbaugh, while stirring in Sarah Palin knockoffs like Michelle "Submissive" Bachmann and Christine "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell.








In the past we might have gotten something like this ...



Instead, because there is no longer a moderating force in the GOP, frontrunning Republican presidential candidates look like "Most-Likely-to-Secede" Rick Perry ...


So, to synopsize ...



Any questions?
