Tea-bagging in Tucson

I'm a bit late with this commentary, but anyway.....

On October 10, Tucson had its own tea party. 6,000 tea-baggers showed up. (Tucsonans will not be surprised to learn that Bushista car dealer Jim Click was there.).

The Arizona Daily Star reported spotting some of the usual tea-bagger signs, like President Obama as Pinocchio and as The Joker.

Some of the other tea creations were new to me:

Obama as one of the Three Stooges.

A T-shirt with “Tyranny Response Team”

Obama's face on a yellow bull with the words “21st century golden calf.”

A sign with “First Black President leads U.S. into slavery.”

And the crowd booed when someone mentioned that the president had won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Typical tea-bagging in a way, but apparently there weren't any of those signs portraying Obama as Hitler or as a witch doctor. And that's progress.
