So, let us presume that the big-money guys are not real happy with the TP right now,

and aren't likely to become any happier with them in the future. I can't help but wonder if they might not pour huge amounts of money into some of those southern Republican primaries to try & put in some more Establishment candidates.

We all know, and have repeatedly gotten confirmation, of the degree to which you can buy an election with big money. Naturally, they would only need to buy the outcomes in the primaries, since Republican wins in the general elections would be pretty much assured.

Or as another tack, why not just buy off the incumbent Teabaggers with well-endowed sinecures? (Or, for that matter, with well-endowed hookers) and then run their own candidates?

As maybe the largest-ever gathering of Tea Partiers commences in Illinois this week, congratulations are due to Mr. Steve Stevlic, the activist without whom TeaCon 2011 would be impossible. Stevlic is the head of the Chicago Tea Party, one of the con's primary sponsors. In the words of radio host and National Review columnist Mark Levin, Stevlic's "terrific." According to CBS, he's the "Democrats' nightmare."

But if you're heading to the festivities this weekend and see Stevlic in person, there's one thing you probably shouldn't bring up with the activist and family values man: his arrest for soliciting a prostitute last summer.
