Oh, please, please, please, please.
Let the April 15 festivities bring out the wingers, the nuts, the squirreliest of the squirrels. The white supremacists. The "morans" with all their best graphics and signs. Anybody and everybody who might embarass our own Governor "Goodhair", who plans to join in.
Dozens of tea party rallies are being planned to oppose the Obama administration’s fiscal policies. At least 10 rallies are being planned in the Metroplex. Gov. Rick Perry is scheduled to attend the Fort Worth rally at LaGrave Field.
"It’s a day to get together with fellow patriots all across the state of Texas," Perry said in a YouTube video about the rallies posted last week. "Let them know what you think about the bailouts, all this stimulus, all this runaway spending going on in Washington, D.C."
Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, said Republicans have long found success emphasizing tax cuts and reduced spending.
"That message will play for them again but right now Americans are so focused on Obama being successful that they’re going to give him a chance," Jillson said. "What that means for Republicans is for the next six months to a year, they are going to be shouting into a wind tunnel with no real effect."

Anti-tax organizers of "tea parties" around the country have tried to keep out fringe elements like birth certificate conspiracy theorists and potentially embarrassing national politicians like Michael Steele and David Vitter. But Paul Krugman writes in the New York Times Monday that the "movement" is of a piece with the Republican party of the past decade or so:
Republicans have become embarrassing to watch. And it doesn't feel right to make fun of crazy people.
