CNN's Susan Roesgen, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and Anderson Cooper all got a good giggle out of renaming the Tea Parties as Teabagging. Maudie didn't catch on until it became apparent that it was a liberal groupspeak. On Cooper's show, even the stodgy David Gergan got a good giggle when Cooper said it was hard to speak when teabagging. That's when Maudie looked it up.
As it's defined, teabagging is egalitarian in that heteros and homos can engage in the activity. Lesbians are left out but Roesgen and Maddow, with seemingly personal giggling knowledge obviously have had the experience as part of their enlightenment. It may be that Olbermann and Cooper allowed Gergan to watch.
Teabagging, fisting, pounding sand, these are all words liberals giggle at. Did these five giggle when reading in 6th grade about the Boston Tea Party? What would the 'indians' response be to these gigglers back in 1773 if someone had called them teabaggers?
