Tea Party in DC: 04/15/2009
I’ll be attending today’s soggy Tea Party in DC near the White House, across from the Treasury Building. I’ll have my iPhone and will be posting live photos starting from whenever I get there … probably around 11 am. I’ll be joined by my friend at This Ain’t Hell, etc. See you there!
10:50 am: running a little late-just getting to Metro.
11:15 am: I’ll keep adding photos to the bottom of the post. Check back!
1:30 pm: I’m done … too much rain. I got some video of a few moronic counter protesters. I’ll post that later.
Here’s the video post. Near the end of the protest (at least as far as I was concerned … I was getting soaked) these idiots showed up. They were obviously endeavoring to employ some sort of irony. You can imagine the giggling. They’re just so much smarter than any of us obviously. And we all are, of course, fat cats. If only. What a bunch of putzes. Enjoy.
JWF adds a wrinkle I missed.
Medea Benjamin and Code Pink showed up … ?!
The photo above is of the moronic counter protest. Video later. Check back!
Here (above) is a frame I snipped from the video, showing these morons at another point in the counter-protest. It’s a better view of the second sign they were flaunting. Sad. And they were so proud of themselves.
More Code Pink (above).
**** 4/16 UPDATE ****
Here (below) are some more photos I took with my SLR, rather than my iPhone. There are not many as I wanted to keep the camera out of the rain as much as possible.
Spelling, please. It’s “Media” for Susie Benjamin’s nom de whine. It’s really touching to see a 2-year-old finally get what she’s always wanted.

Oops…forgot to say great post! Looking forward to your next one.
Thanks for your post! We depend on you to fill us in on the DC scene and you never let us down!
Nice post…Question; I have an older iphone. Your pix are great and I read that you live blogged with it? How much does the WordPress take up? Thanks!
Honestly, I don’t know how much space the WordPress app takes up on my phone … though it can’t be much as the amount of space all apps put together is small.
The camera on the iPhone is surprisingly good. The photos above are actually reduced in resolution. The WordPress app allows for that.
Thanks!!

You should put out an iphone app like Tea Party Memo or the Tea Party Power Pack…then you could update people on the go with an RSS feed that is made for the iPhone! I hate using my PC now…
Great article tho.
