Like This Was A Suprise

The tea-baggers, still at it for some reason, have been travelling across the country like some bizarro-world version of Phish-heads on the festival circuit. Over the weekend, Congresswoman Jean Schmidt (R-OH) spoke at an even in Cincinnati and wasn't entirely received well. That is, until she had a little conversation that she probably wishes wasn't captured on film.

As Schmidt spoke to the birther, one of her staffers spotted the ThinkProgress camera and used his body to push the cameraman out of view of the congresswoman. ThinkProgress continued to film Schmidt from a respectful distance, but was again stopped by another staffer who grabbed the cameraman by the arm and ordered him to “go away.”

Can't be letting people know that their elected, Republican, officials are so pliable to the inane ramblings of Orly Taitz, can we.
