Congratulations to the Philadelphia Inquirer for at least putting Saturday’s National Tea Party in Washington on the front page of its Sunday edition. Granted the headline was a bit small and downplayed the magnitude of the event. The British press, for instance, has estimated the crowd size at 2 million, and other sources have estimated at over 1 million.
Here, however, are some stories I missed in the publication:
1. Democratic Party farm-team ACORN giving advice to a “pimp” and “prostitute” in Baltimore about how to launder money and avoid paying taxes. They recommended they declare child prostitutes from El Salvador as dependents. Seriously. Can’t blame the Inky too much for missing the second sting reported today. ACORN is bragging that its Philadelphia office didn’t fall for it. ACORN gets millions in federal tax dollars.
2. Obama supporter bits off finger of 65-year-old man protesting health care plan. On the bright side, the finger was reattached.
3. That another governor used the services of the madame that supplied Eliot Spitzer. Who could it be?
