Let's not pick on the Right about the "tea-bagging" thing

We have really been ragging on the Wingers for their less than clever decision to make "tea-bagging" their raison d'etre last week, burying them testicle puns and sexual innuendos nine inches deep (oops, sorry).

We have to realize that last week's "tea party" organizers could not possibly know about the sexual connotation (and by sexual connotation, we mean mostly homosexual connotation) of "tea bagging".



After all, the folks behind this Gingrich, O'Reilly, Rupert Murdoch, Dick Armey (MUST NOT MAKE JOKE ABOUT DICK ARMEY...), et al, were born in a different era, an era before the practice of "tea-bagging" was the a standard feature of the homo-erotic indulgences in college and social fraternities that these men were familiar with. Back then, indulging their longings took a more "disciplined" approach, you know, muscular young men, bent over grabbing their ankles as a slightly older young man (who looks a lot like Vladimir Putin) spanks them with a giant wooden paddle. The man's firm buttocks rippling with each blow, sweat trickling down their legs, then splattering to the floor when the next blow falls.

Yes, this is the healthy, all-American hijinx these fellows were used to, so it is not fair to pick on them for not knowing that "tea-bagging" is now the "in thing" with closeted, self-loathing homosexuals such as themselves.

So, let's give cut them some slack, especially since these days Rush Limbaugh can't even see his ankles, never mind grab them, even for old times sake.
