I Dream of Janine with the Dark Brown Hair

Actually it's more of a nightmare. (Remember it's okay for me to say that because America is mena country).

actress/comedian Janeane Garofalo said on Keith Olbermann's MSNBC show,

"Let's be very honest about what this is about. It's not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about. They don't know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks."

And make no mistake - the term "tea-bagging" was used purposely. It refers to a certain practice by gay men (go look it up if you want to know exactly what it is). So she was not only marginalizing and demeaning the demonstrators but she also was making fun of gays (though I am sure she would deny it).

Yes, Michelle, America is a mean country.
