The degeneration of the political/populist right has provided no end of hilarious and pathetic spectacles that could provide fodder for every other blog post -- and often do over at Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish, which is where I just saw this. I usually resist, but this video by the Columbus Dispatch of a Tea Party rally and the treatment of a man who says he has Parkinson's and wants health care reform is really shocking. They make drunken frat boys look like angels. What the hell is happening to us?
