ANGER AROUND THE CAPITOL
It's early yet, and there's no video of Tea Party protesters using slurs.
But the testimony of John Lewis -- one of the three men George W. Bush said he admired most -- and the brick through Louise Slaughter's office window threaten a sense that Republicans have lost control of the grassroots anger they seemed to have learned to channel and stoke.
And as Rahm Emanuel told Eric Massa, angry doesn't always play so well at the polls. Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan demanded tonight that Republicans who spoke at the Tea Party rally denounce it. The weekend, beginning with the questions about a memo they were pushing, has found the GOP spending a lot more time on defense than anyone expected.

I led a socialist takeover of the world’s greatest economy and ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT AND A BRICK.
