'If I Organized a Rally for a Stronger Law to Protect Puppies, I'd Get 100,000 People at That Rally'

More Tea Party Derangement Syndrome, courtesy of Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. I'm not quite sure what planet this guy is living on if he thinks the Tea Parties are getting too much credit from the media.

However, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) earlier cast the Tea Party movement in a far different light. Also appearing during the roundtable, the former head of the Democratic National Committee said the media are giving "the Tea Party too much credit."

"If I organized a rally for a stronger law to protect puppies, I'd get 100,000 people at that rally," he said. "So I think the media has blown [the Tea Party] out of proportion."

Which begs the question: Why isn't Rendell doing enough to protect puppies?

Meanwhile, Rendell's successor at the DNC is apparently suffering from delusions.

Tea Parties may end up helping Democrats, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine told 200 Organizing For America activists at an Ethiopian restaurant on Chicago’s North Side Wednesday night.

The Tea Party is built on “Anger politics - and the anger movements peter out,” said Kaine, a finalist for Obama’s vice-president.

See you in November, Timmy.
