Shuster: If You’re Planning Tea Bagging Across The Country, ‘You’re Going To Need A Dick Armey’

The people who came up with it are a familiar circle of Republicans, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, both of whom have firm support from right wing financiers and lobbyists…Then there is the media, specifically the Fox News Channel…But most amusing of all is Neil Cavuto…Cavuto, defending his network’s promotion of tea bagging said, “We are going to be right in the middle of these teabaggers because at Fox we do not pick and choose these rallies and protests. We were there for the Million Man March.” […] Of course the Million Man march occurred, as newshounds.org points out, almost a year before Fox News was on the air. We can only speculate why widespread tea bagging made Cavuto think of the Million Man march, unless he got them confused with Dick Armey. And in Cavuto’s defense, if you are planning simultaneous tea bagging all around the country, you’re going to need a Dick Armey.
