Mark Williams steps aside as chairman of the Tea Party Express Posted: June 19th, 2010 01:32 PM ET

This is the TParty xpress that goes around the country on busses. He was the leader of that.
Ain’t he wellknown for hoof in mouth disease?
Saw him on the first tour Tea Party Express at Whistle Stop in Texas with most of the gang. That tour was great for public awareness for Tea Parties in general. Later it began to sound a bit “commercialized” (the Tea Party Express, that is).
