Teabaggers' New Protest: "No Government Takeover of Congress"

[Joanne98]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) - With just hours until the historic vote on health care reform, the Tea Party movement has taken up a new battle cry, protesting what they believe is a "government takeover of Congress."

Thousands of self-styled Teabaggers marched on the Capitol today to make the point that, in the words of one of their number, "Voting has no place in Congress."

"Our forefathers designed Congress to be a place where people talked and talked and never got anything done," said Teabagger Tracy Klugian. "This whole voting thing that's going on Sunday is tantamount to a government takeover of Congress."

7. I 've heard it called Poe's Law. Whatever can be

satirized regarding the crazy right wingers in this country can also be conceivably true.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. Along those lines, the craziest conspiracy theory we can concoct would

be accepted as gospel by them.

Hmmm. That gives me an idea. . . . .

6. ...and based on actual statements such as "Keep your government hands OFF my Medicare!"

10. Oh, say can you steep?

Oh, say can you steep by the stove's early light
What so proudly we boiled at the teabag's last squeezing?
Whose brew bags and large cups kept the strainer's busy,
O'er the teacups we watched were so gallantly dripping?
And the tea drip's red glare, the bags bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our tea was still there.
Oh, say does that tea-cup brimmingly yet wave
O'er the land of the freeps and the home of the crazed?

[mmonk]

13. Excellent.

[tango-tee]
