Oh my...

Even with CPAC in town, the Washington version of Rick Santelli's "tea party" looks to have gotten maybe three or four dozen supporters. Including Michelle Malkin -- who must have been totally thrilled to show off her megaphone skills -- she's hoping to someday to direct all manner of minorities back into internment camps, thrilled with the prospect of being a Capo.

And then non-Joe the non-plumber was there because, well what the fuck else does he have to do?

And just whether you are wondering, the sign above, NOT A PHOTOSHOP.

UPDATE: The 'teabaggers' got all of maybe 400 people to show up for a small meandering march in Chicago, the home of the Santelli Tea Party.

When we reached the Michigan Ave Bridge, a tea bag was broken open and dumped into the river to signify the birth of a new American Revolution.

Yeah, shine on you crazy diamond, shine one.
