Today is a day for teabagging

So, some folks who don't like taxes have decided to organize some tea parties on tax day, in the spirit of the Boston Tea Party of old. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_tea_party
Trouble is, most tea today comes in tea bags.
This has lead to many protesters using tea bags as part of the protest, and indeed mailing tea bags to President Obama, and other politicians. This in turn has led to the use of "teabag" as a verb, with predictably hilarious results.
MSNBC (of all people) has been all over it.

Especially Rachel Maddow:

(you have to watch a commercial but it's hilarious)
This is not a "they're so dumb" thread, I just think the whole teabagging thing is hilarious.

hey congratulations you just got flagged by DHS for being a right wing extremist
It's almost salty.
"For some right wing people, it's tea bagging day, and they're going nuts for it."
DL, you are adorable!
The first time I heard that they were playing to 'Teabag' the government I couldn't stop laughing.
i love the government!
No, no. I'm a PATRIOT
What, do you hate America or something?
Yes. Yes he did.
maybe i can get my mom to say that she teabagged the government, though
Most of the people are getting a tax cut
My understanding was that Taxes are only increasing for people earning >$250k
So yes
EDIT:Beaten; teabagged, if you will
EDITEDIT: Yeah i said 100k at first, apparently this is wrong > my political knowledge isn't that good
I think TFS was going to one of these teabagging things. Hopefully she gets some good footage of the actual teabaggings
We should investigate forumers for anti-American sentiments!
Someone should hire a bunch of male strippers to show up at one of these things.
InsaniTEA was also an awesome play on words.
god bless america but goddamn uncle sam

Yeah, I could go for some TFS POV teabagging.

So he's a completely useless fartsack, basically. Anyway! My beloved Wonkette has hot pixxx from some tea bag parties.
god it's raining too so her hair will be tea stained and flavored
man it's so good
hahahaha, WOW
One thing that Olbermann deserves credit for, though, is not genuinely taking himself so seriously. He has stated in numerous interviews that what he does has nothing to do with journalism or news anchoring. He figures when his show comes on, people are tired, and winding down from their day. They want a good laugh, they want to wallbang about some things, and they want to go to bed knowing they're not the only sane ones in the world.
About the only thing that you should really take seriously on the Olbermann hour are his Special Comments, and he tries, very hard, not to do them any more often than absolutely necessary, because he doesn't want his news hour to be that serious, he wants to keep things light.
They do at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods but these people wouldn't be caught dead in either of those stores so they go on living their sad life only knowing tea in the form of teabags in their mouth.
Or when her guest says "I'd love to teabag John McCain."
Also, inviting the RNC Chairman to only listen and not speak at your rally...++ Republicans ++
