A Final Thought
Here is former head and current spokesperson for the Tea Party Express Mark Williams …
And now for some updates (via tip from KK):
NY Daily News reported yesterday (Sunday 18 July 2010):
"We have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote," federation spokesman David Webb said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
[...]
In a press release, the National Tea Party Federation says it ordered the Tea Party Express to kick Williams out and say so "prominently" on their Website. They did not.
Williams' response: who's the National Tea Party Federation anyway?
"There are internal political dramas amongst the various self-anointed tea party 'leaders' and some of the minor players on the fringes see the Tea Party Express and Mark Williams as tickets to a booking on Face the Nation," he said.
"There is no tea party leadership; every tea partier is a tea party leader."
And everyone gets a trophy at the Special Olympics, which I believe is Central To His Point™.
TPM has more news here and here of other teabagger groups scrambling to Distance Themselves.
Media Matters wonders why CNN is still allowing him on their channel. My response: You're asking this of a station that hired Erick Erickson?
