Orrin Hatch Makes Wisconsin His Latest Tea Party Rallying Cry
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), who appears to currently be in the midst of a tea party conversion out of fear he'll become the next Bob Bennett, has found a new conservative hard line to cling to. At CPAC last week, it was beating up Washington. On Thursday, it was taking swings at Wisconsin protestors.

In a statement to reporters, Hatch said the thousands of state union workers gathered in and around the Wisconsin State Capitol were crossing the line by exercising their right to Freedom of Assembly.

"This is not the way public servants should behave," Hatch said.

3. Oh, and how exactly should public servants behave? Should they just
allow this douchebag governor to screw them over?! Orrin Hatch can shove it!
