These protests were called tea parties. Has a familiar ring to it, doesn't it?

He sounds like he is surprised to hear about the concept of the Tea Party? Has he had his head under a cable news network since this all first started with Santelli’s call to arms; that was February 19th??

It’s going to take more than a “party” to correct the politicians; ambiguity intended.

I’ll be going to the Boston Tea Party (wow, feels weird typing that) and the Worcester Tea Party on tax day.

Yes, even MA is not dead yet.

That WOW is not merely for cnn but Cafferty? This guy's so '90s Clintonian Era that he's out to lunch much of the time.

I'm truly surprised he even bothered to notice the anger and resentment of government out there all across the political landscape.

This time we should send pink slips to the White House instead of tea bags.
