Just how strong is Don Wagner's Tea?

.....This “Tea Party” thing is complex. Clearly, many of the Tea party hoi polloi are foolish, ignorant, and even worrisome. Listening to some of these tea people sometimes, you'd swear they are anarchists. But they call themselves "patriots," and patriots are too busy waving the flag to be anarchists.
.....If Tea Partiers have a coherent philosophy, I sure don't know what it is. Most of 'em richly deserve to be called stupid.

.....But many of the pols who embrace the movement are anything but stupid.
.....They’re some kind of cynical. I guess.
.....How cynical are they? I just don’t know.
.....Our own trustee Don Wagner is among the Tea Party embracers. Back on April 28, we posted about his participation in an April 15 Tea Party event (Tea: the last beverage of scoundrels). According to Orange Juice blogger Larry Gilbert, Don Wagner was among the event speakers. I'm sure that's true.

.....Today, I came across an odd “neoconservative” blog called American Power. There, I found a couple of posts that referred to a Tea Party rally back in February (Feb. 13). Don Wagner participated in that event as well. The pics prove it.
.....Just what does it tell us about Don Wagner that he’s playin’ footsy with this odd collection of ignoramuses and (often) worrisomely loose cannons? He's no dolt. Sure, he's kinda mean and a bit ruthless. But surely he cringes when the Tea People shout, "No taxation without representation!"
.....He's cynical, right?
