Get Ya Tea Party Programs Heaah! $20
The 2010 version of the Boston Tea Party was very different from it's very grassroots predecessor in 2009. The 2010 event felt corporate, plastic, and somewhat forced with the inclusion of the Tea Party Express. Perhaps that was due to to the poor audio and stage set up where people beyond the media platform could barely hear the keynote speaker, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. It may have something to do with the let's-make-a-buck-feel of the event.

Attendees had their choice of Tea Party Express trinkets to choose from, including these $20 programs.

1. Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber rally
Seriously? :shrug: Too much stupid on one stage. How on earth is anyone taking this organization as some kind of political party? The MSM is nuts.

2. One can only imagine what the Tea Party Express theme song is.
And let's keep it that way.
