But as Congress wrapped up an unusually productive lame-duck session last month, those same Tea Party leaders were lamenting that Washington behaved as if it barely noticed that American voters had repudiated the political establishment.

2. Methinks the teabaggers haven't the fog giest grasp of reality. All they repudiated was

their own well-being & self-interest. If THEY would recognize that they are ignorant & easily led they might have a snow-ball's chance of getting what they really need.
