There's an old saying that there's no such thing as bad PR as long as they spell your name right and the comic strip "Doonesbury" might be providing a real boost to the Tea Party Movement.
First of all, I love Doonesbury. It's brilliant satire and creator Gary Trudeau is what free expression is all about.
Right now the theme of his strips center on the Tea Party. Generally Trudeau is making members look a tad "loony." Wearing weird costumes and the like. Check out the strip either in the Newspaper (if your town still has one) or online so you can see for yourself.
I don't think there is any doubt as to the left-wing leanings of both Trudeau and his gang of characters in Doonesbury. But he's never mean-spirited.
So don't get mad, be glad. He's satirizing the movement because it is a MOVEMENT and one to be reckoned with!
Thanks Gary!!
Come over for tea anytime!!

- Tea anyone? A Tea Party Blog.
- Both parties, Democrats and Republicans alike have let us down. We've let them. Enough is enough. Above all, be polite and peaceful. There are indeed some good honest people in Washington on both sides of the aisle. Too many however have run amok, drunk with power, in powerful leadership positions which demand term limits. Let's take our country back at the polls this November. We start today.
