Roger L. Simon » America Goes to Washington: I was wrong about the Tea Party Movement

Boy, was I wrong. I can remember telling Glenn Reynolds during CPAC that these Tea Party demonstrations were rinky-dink and going nowhere. Barely more than a half-year later, they’re putting two million people on the Washington Mall. Wow! If I were Obama & Co., I’d be afraid, I’d be very afraid.

And no doubt they are. They bobbled the ball big time and I wouldn’t be surprised if heads are going to start to roll – and not just the obvious (and relatively inconsequential) ones like Van Jones.

Emanuel is looking like a particular dummy right now for opening his mouth about not missing a good crisis.

No wonder the public is outraged. They have a perfect right to be.
