Fox blames weather for weak turnout at tea party rally

Tea party organizers had high hopes for their rally today in Washington, DC—high enough hopes that they arranged for Fox to give it live coverage.

Then something sad happened. Just a few dozen people showed up. And Fox, naturally, blamed the weather:


Yeah, the weather really killed the rally. Just like the only reason the rallies were so big in Wisconsin was its gorgeous mid-winter weather (complete with sunny blue skies and palm trees!).
Or here's another thought: maybe the tea party fizzle has something to do with the fact that the tea party isn't popular anymore.

The TEA Parties are getting ready to implode just like the Coffee Parties did.

Here's a suggestion... if you are serious about running make a ballot attempt or just sit down.
