I don't know much about what the Tea Party stands for, but I do know it's my big chance to gain political power. Moving up in the Democratic or Republican Party would take decades, but the Tea Party is searching for leaders. Getting in on a movement early is how you get to be Sam Adams or Jesse Jackson or Obama Girl.
For advice, I called Mark Williams, founder of the Tea Party Express, which raises millions of dollars by traveling in a bus and putting on shows with acts like former Saturday Night Live cast member Victoria Jackson and a rapper named Polatik. "Get together a local group to read the Constitution just the way religious people get together to read the Bible," he suggested. You have to come up with some insane ideas to torpedo your competition when you've got Victoria Jackson and a rapper named Polatik.
To get the Hollywood Tea Party started, I contacted Jenny Beth Martin, who, at just 39, is a co-founder and national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots. Martin totally approved of my Hollywood Tea Party idea. Better yet, she said I'd be an official local coordinator, the highest-ranking title in the organization, and invited to take part in the weekly California conference call. Being a local coordinator, however, started to feel a little low level when I learned that there are 2,197 other local coordinators. So I asked Martin if she could give me a better title, like whip.
That's when Scott Boston, an Ohio coordinator, yelled from the back of Martin's car that I could be Sir Writes-a-Lot. This is a great, great party.

It’s funny, but wow what a jackass.

Who, the author? I think it is a very funny satirical article
The leftists kind of wore out that astroturf tag, and now it describes their Soros etc backed efforts.
The TPP people have a great database of teaparty “chapters” all around the country.
Many of them aren't associated with the TPP leadership anymore.
