Catching Up With The Teabagger Fail

So here’s Sarah saying she won’t take a $100,000 speaking fee for her remarks at the National Tea Party convention in Nashville:

What Sarah is so inartfully saying is the whole shebang ought to be a non-profit affair, which is isn’t and never was. Even Eric Odom, the original electronic astroturfer, has backed out of the convention over profiteering — ironic, considering that he’s sold all that Rand schwag on his sites. Judson Phillips, the Nashville attorney who started the “movement” holding the convention, has been called out by a former volunteer.

Looks like a good thing I didn’t get tickets to cover the event; one doubts it will still happen.
