The "Tea Party" trashes Agent Orange's office, taxpayers will probably foot the bill.

Conservative members of the Tea Party raided House Speaker John Boehner's office over the weekend, destroying several thousand dollars worth of property and leaving behind giant bags of tea.

Capitol Hill police were at first stumped as to how the intruders gained entry, but soon came to realize that the incident had been an 'inside job' perpetrated by fellow members of Congress.

Representatives Louie Gohmert, Steve Pearce, Tom Massie, and Ted Yoho are suspected of carrying out the vicious teabagging, but a spokesperson from Boehner's office says he will not be filing charges in the name of "party unity".

Witnesses at the scene describe Boehner's office as "completely destroyed", with smashed picture frames, soiled carpet, and "shreds of paper and tea leaves everywhere." On the walls were several Tea Party slogans written in graffiti, including:

"TAXES ARE YUCKY"

"COMPROMISE IS FOR SOCIALISTS"

"WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"

"NANCY PELOSI HAS COOTIES"

"JUSTIN AMASH WAS HERE"

Boehner was narrowly re-elected Speaker last week with significant numbers of conservative Republicans affiliated with the Tea Party voting against him.

Several prominent conservative activists have called for his resignation, arguing his willingness to compromise over the fiscal cliff tax hikes makes him insufficiently conservative to hold the post of speaker.

As much as I love it that these dickjerkies in the GOP are at each other throats, the thought of taxpayers getting stuck with the bill for fixing all that crap sticks in my craw. And the fact that these elected officials have such little respect for public property.



Upon further review this may be a satire like something from "the Onion". How bad is it that when we hear about stuff like this we expect such juvenile behavior from these assclowns like Gohmert that we can't tell whats true and what is creative embellishment.

1. If this is true

And those folks (Gohmert and Company) are responsible then they need to pay for the clean up out of their own personal funds.

That is absolutely childish. And my husband wonders why I call each and every one of them a filthy rotten name every time I see them, hear them, read them . . .

2. You do realize this was satire?

I think everyone should make it clear when things are satire.

8. My sense of humor

was shot off during the economic collapse.

So yes, some sort of indication would be nice.

9. +1 Considering the actual, every day BS that comes out of Teapublicans it's kind of hard to tell.

[Erose999]

11. Especially with the name "Gohmert" mentioned. He's crazier than Bachmann, and thats saying a lot.

3. You know

4. Ah, if only.

It would certainly be a "buy popcorn stock" moment

6. Daily Currant is akin to The Onion. n/t

10. *May be* satire?

Sometimes it's not easy to tell, but other times it is.

12. it's a pretty sad commentary on the state of our society when completely outrageous, bizarre

things have to be labelled satire--because there is so much completely outrageous, bizarre stuff going on for real.

13. a good many of the comments on their page did not realize it was satire, either.

14. Funny shit, man.

This is definitely a bit satirical, though.
