A TP Moment

Matt Taibbi on the Tea Party | Rolling Stone Politics: ...''The scooters are because of Medicare,' he whispers helpfully. 'They have these commercials down here: 'You won't even have to pay for your scooter! Medicare will pay!' Practically everyone in Kentucky has one.'

A hall full of elderly white people in Medicare-paid scooters, railing against government spending and imagining themselves revolutionaries as they cheer on the vice-presidential puppet hand-picked by the GOP establishment. If there exists a better snapshot of everything the Tea Party represents, I can't imagine it..."'
