Throw away the key
Finally, an opportunity to throw State Sen. Margie Dayton into GITMO. The Utah County lawmaker inadvertently joined in a terrorist attack by sending a green-tea bag to the White House.

Dayton's was one of hundreds of tea bags mailed to Congress and the president as a tax protest — American Revolution ... Founding Fathers ... Boston Tea Party ... get it? Sadly, so far, no one has tarred and feathered an IRS accountant.

Dayton's harmless right-wing fun became part of a post-9/11 anthrax scare in the D.C. capital this week. One office was closed down over the symbolic tea-bags, leaking god-knows what hideous toxin — chai? Margie and her friends want to remind the feds what happens when you dump on your citizens.

Orem's queen claims she didn't realize the tea might scare government workers and officials and send security officers scurrying:
I guess I'm a threat to the federal government, but it was certainly unintentional. I think its all part of a grass-roots effort to show our frustration.
Sounds like a confession to me — waterboard her.

This convinces me that Glen is a D-bag.

She better hope her bishop didn't see her buying the tea bags. You know, the appearance of evil and everything?

Funny how a jackass like this posts a story about 'tea-bags' that OTHER people send to the White House, when he's been receiving 'tea-bags' from the Democratic Party for months, if not years, now.

Funny that all the religious conservatives like Dayton who don't know what tea-bagging is have fallen for the best practical joke ever. Are they going to ban themselves for being pornographic?
