...and a mob of crazed teabaggers.

Yeah, sure...you were accosted by homosexual perverts? Or did you mean Tea Partiers?

Blumenthal always uses that word in first sentence, or the first 30 seconds, of any exchange or composition he's involved with.

He loves to slur Tea Party people -- he absolutely hates them and doesn't care if it shows. In fact, I think he wants it to show, to raise his profile among gay "progressive" termites.

Blumenthal used the word in the very first sentence of a book-plumping interview with Tavis Smiley on PBS.
