Reporters (Mostly) Barred From Tea Party Convention

[DainBramaged]

Thank you for your inquiry about media coverage of the First National Tea Party Convention in Nashville.

This is a working convention and the sessions will not be open to the press. We are planning two events that the media could have access to. Neither has been finalized. One would be on Friday and the other would be on Saturday.

We have a very limited number of press passes and they have been accounted for. Press without a pass will not be allowed into the convention area.

If you want to interview any of our speakers, please let me know and we will try to work that out. Governor Palin will not be available for interviews.

If you wish to interview someone about the convention, please email me, [e-mail] and I will try to work out arrangements for that

1. Dear Judhead de Teabag:

"What kind of GawdAwful perverted occult diaper-clad secrets are you clowns hiding?

"In the absence of open honesty, real American citizens are forced to conclude that you Teabaggers are up to some strange Evil-doing that cannot bear the light of day. America is about openness and honesty, ight?"

2. It has a 50-50 chance of becoming the seed for a new party

or simply breaking down into a donnybrook as the Jesus jumpers and the libertarians realize at long last that they really don't have a single thing in common with each other.

This is really fascinating to watch. It's a choreographed attempt to take over what really is a populist wave of discontent by Astroturfing it before it gets a chance to organize on its own.

It could go either way.

Whatever it does, they don't want even a tame, corporate press looking at it.

3. If they fantasize about representing Americans, then they best come out of their occult closets
