CNN BREAKING - Tea Party Officially Changes Name To T-Bone Party To Escape Ridicule From Democrats


T-Bone Party members Bo and Scooter McCoy told CNN reporters "We're PROUD to call ourselves T-Boners. Let's see the Democrats try to make a joke out of THAT."

CNN Washington - The Tea Party, having undergone months of ridicule as the result of their own self-adopted nickname "Tea Baggers," has re-branded itself and emerged as the T-Bone Party.

When asked to explain the reasons for the change, former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin replied "Didja know I'm comin' out with a new book? You can go on Amazon and pre-order one, or several for your friends. It's never too late to start your Christmas shoppin', oh dontcha know..."

Fox News personality Sean Hannity applauded the move, saying "I stand behind the T-Boners." When a studio cameraman began giggling uncontrollably, Hannity asked him what was so funny and went to commercial.

1. George Costanza is pissed at this revelation.
"I'M T-BONE!" he was heard yelling.

2. What the T Party is, and what they think is a wide question.
Edited on Tue May-18-10 04:35 AM by RandomThoughts
I think they may have different views then talked about by the astroturfing. I am not a political T partier, but the T comment was around from awhile ago, and the astroturfing of that is not the best of thoughts, and a bit upsetting.

But anyway, I only post this, because I think the tea parties will have some kind of an effect.

That does not mean I agree with Glenn or the right wing politics. I actually think Glenn is pure propaganda at this point, no way he could be saying what he is saying.

Although it seems that Keith and Rachel have had some correlating comments that seem off, not sure what that is about, but like many other parts of their shows.

But what I see as the T or hammer heads, I think will still have an impact.

As shown in Avatar when the hammer head things came in to make the difference in the battle. :)




Although many people think differently on things, and people believe as they choose, I like this idea for the hammer, which I think of as in the carpenters tool belt, so I always liked that idea :)
And it is a tool for construction, not destruction. So it is a really big concept.

I think they had a hammer, and remember their songs from the intercoms at the grocery stores during years of working there.


What was the Original post about again? Oh yea, I think it requires attempts at honesty and respect also, so the astroturfing thing is really ignorable.
