Andrew Sullivan: These are not tea-parties. They are tea-tantrums.

I like it. "Tea Tantrums," it is. Spread the word.

8. I like this part

And the adolescent, unserious hysteria is a function not of a movement regrouping and refinding itself. It's a function of a movement's intellectual collapse and a party's fast-accelerating nervous breakdown.

14. Furthermore, anyone participating in the "party" should have to give up their tax cut.

I'm sure that is most of the people participating looking at their mode of dress and general social behavior.

16. So Tea Day, or "T-Day" is April 15, huh??

So what are their plans for April 16? The 17th? May? 2010? Or is the hope the hope that all of this stupidi-tea will have long been forgotten by then??
