Wonkette
Just an unbelievable amount of fail today. Pouring rain and NO tea bags to be seen whatsoever, save for this nice lady’s hat, which — to her credit — fairly accurately depicts the sexual act of teabagging. We’ll have many, many more pictures and videos from our terrifying sojourn to Lafayette Park coming up shortly, as well as important stories about ACORNs in tuxedos and how we inadvertently insulted the shit out of Fox News’ Griff Jenkins. What you need to do RIGHT NOW though is read this Washington Post story for *crucial* background information about the Root of All Fail.
Did you see anybody getting fisted? There was some concern about that, apparently.
“Griff Jenkins”??? I refuse to believe that is a real name.
“Would it be so wrong to pray for a rainstorm on the day a certain group holds its rally? Would it really be so wrong?”
Boy, I guess she (?) found out that Teabags don’t make for a good hat in the rain.
If I don’t see an LOLgalt within five minutes with the word “fail” prominently featured on this comely lass’ teabagged mug, I will not pay my taxes in 2010.
Douchebags.
Best line from the WaPo story: “They complied with the order but are still considering what to do with the load.”
Have we collapsed as a country yet? Then fuck it, I’M THE DUKE OF NEW YORK A NUMBER 1.
You do realize that’s actually little bags of weed on her head. Bitch is distributing.
What a bunch of pussies. Do you think the Founding Fathers worried about permits when they dumped tea in Boston Harbor? No, they did not. And they didn’t worry about political correctness either, because they all dressed up like red injuns.
So we can conclude that these sad-sack douchewads are a separate and distinct group from the Christian Identity 40-gallon-drum-of-pork-and-beans-in-Idaho survivalists.
Whip smart, these peoples. Go out in the rain with a frickin’ teabag on your head.
StephanieInCA: Sounds illegal. In Oregon.
ManchuCandidate: All she needs is gutters and a straw.
What a fucking idiot that woman is.
Custerwolf: Weedhead?
I love these idiots.
First this whole thing, now they’re too stupid (or mean-spirited) to give the tea to a food bank.
…geez, guys will “Tea-Bag” anything now a days.
Dave J.: Agreed. That HAS to be from The Simpsons, no?
Rain: proof God loves high taxes, socialism, and secret muslins.
I wonder how much the Park Service charges for their new “hire us to come bust up your rally for permitting violations before it even starts so you don’t have to suffer the humiliation of having a lame rally with nobody watching” service.
This has the distinct odor of PUMA failure on it.
aaaaawwwww they really tried
bless their little hearts
now they spent money on all that damn tea
and ain’t got no where to dump it LOL
The Tea Butts will claim that DC isn’t real America and it’s actually raining on Barry’s parade.
Might as well start calling this country Americazikstan. The socialists have won.
No way this could have failed. According to the organizer, “This is the largest grass-roots demonstration in history.”
Understand? LARGEST IN HISTORY. The March on Washington? That was trifling. Vietnam War Protests? Tiny. 3 million Mexicans protesting for immigration in LA? Yawn. Teabag Fest ‘09? Largest grass-roots demonstration IN HISTORY.
StephanieInCA: …generally its either “swallow” or “take it in the eye”, at least those are the options I give.
It seemed like such a good idea when she was hot-glueing the bags to her hat back at the motel.
I saw a “film” once, where this nice young lady got gang-teabagged by a British rugby squad-
She had the EXACT same expression as this lady by the end of it.
Are we witnessing a walk of shame?
Yes, Stupid Lady in the WaPo, there are alternatives to this duly-elected administration. It’s called a fascist-plutocratic uprising like what you douches tried to plan against FDR in the 30’s. Do it! I will watch as the police gun you down.
No finding any teabaggers in Portland. The Portland PB centaurs that I spoke with hadn’t heard anything, and I couldn’t find anyone at the federal building or Pioneer Courthouse Square. I guess they aren’t brave enough to show their faces in the People’s Republic of Portland. My “Won’t someone think of the billionaires?” and “Actually, Obama gave us tax cuts already” signs will languish, unused.
She is staining her clothes for freedom. Also:http://transview.org/cams/Presidio/: Tens of protesters in Tucson
If only she had used chamomile tea bags in the rain, her locks would have had a lovely golden shimmer.
I hate humanity.
Wow, this picture is just a complete work of art. It so perfectly captures the moment. While I am not there personally, I can feel the rainy misery that envelops the event and how perfectly it represents the misguided pathetic ploy that is this faux-tea party movement.
It really is worth a thousand words. It’s like Christina’s World, except Christina is looking at us, and oh yeah she’s got 3 pounds of wet teabags dripping down her face. Somebody hang this in the MoMA.
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT:
Wonkette is better at covering stuff than ShortsandPants.
OTHER EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT:
ShortsandPants will have people covering Santa Barbara, Waco, Charlotte and Seattle, to compensate for the horrible failure that it continues to be.
HUZZAH.
It’s a little heartbreaking. Like when the screaming kid @ the grocery store finally gets his ass beat. For a second, you’re like, “Ha!” Then, “Aw.”
You know who loves tea? Arab Muslims.
It should have been a Buffalo Wings protest.
Throwing away your tea meant something 300 years ago, because you didn’t really have an alternative and you were making a statement that you were willing to forego your best beverage to protest the taxation. If people still drank tea, it might matter. Now it’s a joke. Let’s see these diehard Republicans dump out their scotch on the Lafayette lawn! Oh, is that too far? Not feeling the outrage?
You are tools. You are weak, pathetic tools, banging your tin cup to someone else’s tune. It is you, the protesting sheep, that have been teabagged by the provocateurs.
“This is the largest grass-roots demonstration in history.”
Hmm, so bigger than the 11 million worldwide people who demonstrated against the invasion of Iraq. Sweet.
…last time I saw someone with that many tea-bags in her face I was at a Tijuana strip club.
StephanieInCA: That cannot have been an accident.
Ah, see, you’re all wrong. She’s using the combined rain and tea bags as a cheaper alternative to the salon. Those flowing strawberry-blonde tresses don’t just color themselves!
I you’re going to wear a stupid tea bag hat, don’t do it in the RAIN. Unless you want your scalp to stay brown for a very long time.
ManchuCandidate: Iced tea?
Min: Win. I was laughing about the permits. Christ-on-a-cracker. Us peace nuts were willing to spend a night in the tank if need be when Dubya was driving the country to war. These guys run from the rain and slink away when the horrifying spectre of a permit is raised. Fox News didn’t buy them one? Planning fail.
AngryBlakGuy: The classic Angry Pirate. I like your style.
Country Club Jihadi: Goddammit.
And of course, one of the guest speakers would have to be Alan Keyes. Is there such thing as a cause too dumb for Mr Keyes to lend his talents?
She looks steeped.
I never understood the joke before. But now that you mention it, soaking wet and resting on that lady’s head, teabags do look exactly like scrotums.
Gopherit: And those tens of protesters were probably all from Green Valley anyway.
Where is the Children’s Treasury of Teabagging Protest Photos?
Also, I found this on my Facebook Stalker Feed and I don’t know whether to respond or delete the person:
[Name Redacted] wants to go to a TEA Party to protest the government’s wreckless spending and to promote fiscal responsibility
When you’re out of tin foil tea bags are a great substitute. No?
If strict constitutionalists had shown this level of organization when Japanese Americans were being sent to internment camps… then hell, Japanese Americans would still have been up shit creek.
Dave J.: As real as, say, “Jeff Stryker”, “Jack Wrangler”, or “Matt Ramsey.”
And just to think, George III could have stopped the original Boston Tea Party if only he’d thought of that “don’t give them a permit” ploy. Why, if that had happened, we’d all be speaking English today!
So where’d the Citizens Against Government Waste take their Schatz?
LOLfail
Who drinks tea? The BRITS. The Brits=socialists. I’m not sure if that adds a layer to their arguement or throws a wrench in it…
hScarab:
thanks, that’s the one i was trying to remember.
We all knew it would be the full Triple-Axel Retard, but from the reporting I’m hearing, it’s been a glorious shitty sandwich. As someone who was there in 2003 for the Iraq protests, I can only ask for these people to open their mouths wide for the load of freighter-nutz I shall be ramming down their throats.
If there are no giant paper-mache heads of State, then it is not a protest.
Can’t wait until the Albuquerque TeaBagging starts - at least it’s at a bar…
“This is the largest grass-roots demonstration in history,”
It suppose it’s hard to recognize FAIL when you live it every day of your life.
Spike: That is actually a hilarious and good point.
I’ve got eleventy-million U.S. Ameros for the first newscast that can work the phrase “teabagging pirates” into their show.
Gopherit: PerhapsSo: Haha! I actually biked past those guys earlier today and didn’t even realise that there was a protest going on.
Sussemilch: These republicans don’t drink scotch. Let’s see them give up their Mountain Dew and Bud Light Lime.
LOL.
Oh… where is the big, bad militia of “true patriots” with their million teabags now? Driving around, aimlessly, with a million teabags, because they were scared to break the evil government “law.”
Boo-Hoo. The government is infringing upon their right to litter without a permit!
WHAT A BUNCH OF PUSSIES.
2010, 2012, and so on, and so on…
nmmagayar: So there will be booze… what about guns and hookers?
The problem with constant and consistent failure on the part of the various factions of wing-nuttery is that their frustration is going to eventually turn to one of two things, smoldering anger or outright violence. For the past 10+ years they have had at least the impression that elected officials cared about their “causes”, but now they are not only being ignored by the politicians they didn’t vote for, but cannot even muster a decent protest with the help of the number one rated cable news network and a bunch or right wing lobbyists.
Check out the “OUTRAGE” over the Homeland Security intel brief on right wing extremesism; they think that it attacks “Christ” and “Christians”.
Hopefully we can keep this at a low boil, but if Fox News and Limbaugh and the rest continue to fan flames for ratings, we are going to see a lot more blood in the streets.
Sorry, no snark…I am genuinely worried.
Which tea-bagging party is Joe the not-Plumber “speaking” at?
Teh nooze here says that hundreds - hundreds! - of protestors all across Maryland braved the rain for their teabaggin’ parties.
Yep, largest grass-roots demonstration EVAR!
“We thought we had a permit but then they were like, ‘No, you don’t,’” says organizer J. Peter Freire.
When my kid talks like this I’m all like, “Talk regular, godammit.”
Giant Robot: This is NM, there are always guns. Wrong neighborhood for hookers, though. Although, I am unemployed, so maybe
After the brown liquid runs off of her head it begins a horrifying journey to the ground. When it reaches the chasm betwixt the meeting of her legs, the brown juice from her head and the brown juice of her nether regions co-mingle. The substance that is produced can only be called “pure evil.”
[shudder]
Anyone point out to these teabaggers that it was Massachusetts leftists that staged the original Boston Tea party?
Spike: Or George Bush
shortsshortsshorts: Nice plug. Nice blog. As for the lady in the picture, nice hat.
Someone need to blingee that tea bag headed pic ASAP I can’t the evil corporate firewall won’t let me. Surprised I get to here.
Joey Ratz: Why, back in my day, a Tucson protest meant…
Hmm. Well, okay, so there were no Tucson protests back in my day. Too damn hot.
re: article
See what happens when you’re bad at this shit? You don’t even think to get the proper permits. Amateurs.
I bet the urine tint, tea-stained look is an improvement over her usual hair color…Wait, that is her usual hair color? Dayum.
Thank goodness there’s no racist overtones today:

problemwithcaring: She looks familiar to watersports.
So, in the picture, the tea bags represent a mouth, and her head a scrotum?
Dave J.: If you worked with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, would you use a real name?
StephanieInCA: That is always the case with a good tea-bagging from a dominatrix.
OzoneTom: He’s in Atlanta being teabagged by Sean Hannity.
Sure, it draws our gaze away from the bags UNDER your eyes, honey. Still, I don’t see it catching on as the new fashion trend.
AfghanVet: You do make a good point. After all, during Clinton we had Right Wingers taking shots at the White House, crashing small planes into it, and Oklahoma City. And all of that was before Clinton got a blow job.
On the other hand when the left was out of power and frustrated and the President was ignoring them and taking us into a bad war based upon Cheney approved intelligence, we got giant puppets in streets.
And I do find it curious that Fox News never complained when Bush sent the FBI to spy on little old anti-war ladies in Berkeley, but they get their knickers in a twist over something as obvious as “Hey, those neo-Nazis are a bit violent.” It is awfully telling thought that all the Conservatives thought DHS was taking about them.
OMG they got rain? LOL. I remember when Obama was going to give his acceptance speech for the Democratic party’s nomination for president James Dobson’s group was going to get everyone to pray that it rains. LOL it was a beautiful evening. Now their event happens in D.C. and it rains pretty good lol. I guess God likes Obama?
mrpuma2u: And there’s no Alt text! We need more alt text!
That’s as close as she will ever get to a scrotum on or in her body.
Min: Didn’t they also just steal the tea? These people went out and bought their own tea thus pumping some money in the economy and helping Obama lol.
That picture says it all…
Really…
So wrong, on so many levels…It’s hard to even begin.
Luckily I don’t need to.
All of you provide the necessary snark.
Thank you Wonkette!
Spike: “These are the largest grass-roots demonstrators in history.” Fixed.
Looks like the lefties still can’t debate any issue, because you don’t have any real facts to back up your positions. You are only comfortable making juvenile jokes and calling people stupid names, probably because you never grew up and got a job. Lefties like to dish it out but can’t take criticism. So keep it up kiddies, by doing so you are helping energize your opposition and 2010 will begin to undo the damage this administration is causing. Socialism consistently fails and big government always turns totalitarian to stay in power. Ask Hitler how that worked out. BTW, nice try but your little attempt failed. Traced and referred it out to those who can do something about it.
Alt text: Tea hee
Where were these people when the Bush administration was bankrupting the country and why do they think these problems are going to fix themselves without an economic stimulus package in the budget? Where were they when we learned of the billions unaccounted for in Iraq?
AngryBlakGuy: I’m cryin’ over here!
