I was wondering what the vibe would be like at this October’s “VICMEAD 2011 Fuck YEAH!” the annual DEGOP cocktail party/Cotillion/”Doesn’t Pete DuPont look amazing for 105 years old?”
What with all the teabags crashing the party and acting like Avery Scheiber at the Opera. I was picturing Copeland’s monocle falling into his chapagne cocktail. Old broads clutching their pearls and fainting into the koi pond.
Then I read this from Digby, and it occured to me that Teabags and the old hags of the GOP can really coexist in peace and harmony. Not just at “Vicmead 2011 Fuck Yeah!” but for well into the future.
Please someone tell me again about how the Tea Partiers are populists. I’m watching on of their spokesmen on MSNBC go on and on about how the rich pay all the taxes and it’s time for the 50% of American slackers who don’t pay anything to kick in to solve the debt crisis.
“I know a lot of people and I don’t know even one who has a corporate jet. I do know that wealthy people create jobs. I’ve never worked for a poor man or a poor woman. They’ve all provided me with a good living.”
If you’re looking for them to bring in the guillotines, you’re going to be waiting awhile. They are very happy to be serfs.
