Washington, DC, April 1 “” CBS News has obtained exclusive footage providing irrefutable evidence that so-called “progressive” blogger Joe Romm is in fact an active participant in the Tea Party movement.
In this shocking video, Romm, a physicist and taxidermist who blogs at ClimateProgress.org, is asked by a fellow Tea Partier to “talk tea party talk.” And he does — suggesting Romm is no stranger to Tea Party events:
At a hastily-assembled news conference, Dr. Romm said, “Yes. It’s true. I’ve been to perhaps a dozen Tea Party events in the past year. But at least my events involve actual tea! And yes, I ‘talk tea party talk’. You try saying ‘no’ to a 3-year-old.”
FoxNews commentor Sarah Palin said,”How’s that climaty-progressy thing working out for you now, doctor?” Palin said that she could look at climate change from her home in Alaska, when she wasn’t looking at Russia, that is, but was pretty sure it was not actually caused by her looking. Palin said she suspects climate change is occurring even when she isn’t looking. But, of course, she couldn’t be sure.
In a related story, CBS News has learned that a new study by George Mason University finds that 80% of all Tea Parties are held by little girls.

Luv it
That could damage the Tea Party movement forever…
Agreed–it’s almost impossible to say no to a three year old!
Here’s a selection of great tea-party t-shirts: http://tea-party.spreadshirt.com/
JOE NOT YOU TOO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh … what a scream showing how the TEA party subverts our precious youth. Here you have presented documented proof of the egregious nature of their crime. They cannot be stopped … unless America discovers the more satisfying drink served by COFFEE PARTY USA! America must see the evidence! I’ll start a CP Topic so the folks will learn of this notorious caper!
Good work again Joe!

Wonderful!
And while i’d like to take the opportunity to gush over my 3 year old task master – I’ll switch-up and be the proud husband….(going much further off topic)… to share with our CP community, a link to my wife’s op-ed in today’s NY Times…no joke.

Wasn’t it the Mad Hatter that had the tea party?
Explain if you can that failed effort to “hide the increase” in saucer size and the subsequent transparent “trick” of lining up the bigger one with the smaller ones as if they matched!
Ahaa!
So now it is revealed why Joe does what he does on Climate Progress. We now have hard evidence as to who is behind his advocacy.
I don’t see how we can trust you any more, Joe. Your daughter neglected her line:
“This tea was made and served without any help from Washington bureaucrats!”.
What a doll. You’re a lucky dad, Joe.
Just be sure to buy a shotgun before she gets to high school–you’ll need it. ;)
Oh Joe, she’s so cutey… That goblety warming teapoty domey mccarthty scandaly drilly drilly paliny-in-ze-assetea party! So glad to have you on our side, Doctor. Come on up to AK for melty seas-on… Your newest t-partyin’ pal, T-love Sarah.
Bah-dum bum, ching!
(Try the veal!)
More tea parties!
I see she is in particularly nice purple pawprint pajamas. A future blogger?
[JR: I'm sure!]
Speaking of tea parties…..
…betcha dollars to doughnuts that all these folks are global-warming deniers: http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002641/
I want purple leopard print jammies, dammit! And coffee.
My tummy hurts.
Please, please, send more tea for my tummy!
Or if you can’t, send Coffee with cream, and purple jammies.
Looking at the end of the video (without sound), it looks like your daughter can’t “stomach” the Tea Party. That makes two of us!
[JR: Indeed!]
So, what’s so novel about the Tea Party? It looks the same as it looked back in the ’60s when I observed such Tea Parties. Sure, the tea is imaginary (and your daughter knows that it won’t help a belly-ache), but how damaging could it be to our country? I say: Let them eat imaginary cake and drink imaginary tea.
Joe,
What a lovely daughter. I worry sometimes that you must be so busy that you don’t get to enjoy your family much.
Yes, she’s lovely indeed!
