In case you haven't heard, the latest spectacle that Tea Party protesters are planning is a massive performance art piece that will be coming soon to the halls of the Senate office buildings, presumably because they missed the deadline for the 2010 Whitney Biennial.

Via Wonkette's Jim Newell, here's the latest scheme from the Dick Armey:

So here's the plan. On Tuesday, December 15 at 8:45 AM thousands of us will meet in Washington, DC at the fountain in Upper Senate Park. From there we will march to the Senate offices, go inside, and demonstrate our opposition to the government takeover of health care. We call this plan "Government Waiting Rooms". The intention is to go inside the Senate offices and hallways, and play out the role of patients waiting for treatment in government controlled medical facilities. As the day goes on some of us will pretend to die from our untreated illnesses and collapse on the floor. Many of us plan to stay there until they force us to leave. A backup location for this demonstration will be announced if they block us from entering the offices.

I'd better see a high degree of detail and exacting verisimilitude, people. If you're going to pretend to go into end-stage renal failure outside the offices of Kirsten Gillibrand, you'd better browse WebMD and read up on sepsis and "flank pain." Rehearse your performance, and warm up your voice for all the moaning you'll be doing. Breathe from your diaphragm: I cannot stress this enough! And extra points to anyone who goes the extra mile and gets into some of that deep medical obscuriana that you see on House, M.D..

Of course, the irony of going to Congress to stage the August: Osage County of health care rationing and treatment denials is that you'll be accurately depicting the current conditions of health care in the United States, where people are already dying at a brisk clip. So, look for Health Care For America Now to put out a press release saying, "Thanks, Tea Partiers, for proving our point for us!"

    • This is so comical and so so stupid. What's not funny is how as usual these mentally stunted so called "patriots" are showing no respect for those less fortunate than themselves. It's not funny that so many are becoming sicker and even dieing while waiting for Congress to respond with a well functioning health care system. It's not funny that the big monopolistic insurance companies are denying adequate health care and raking in obscene profits while providing their executives with mansions and yachts. It's not funny that Congressional Republicans are determined to block health care legislation in an effort to defeat our Democratic African American President. It's not funny that so many in Congress owe their allegiance to big business and big insurance companies that provide them with large sums of campaign funds. It's not funny that the well being of the American people are finishing a dead last in the conservative's race to extinguish any hope of passage of a bill meant to provide relief for people most in need of assistance. And too you so called "angry Patriots" and too you who spill your contrived vile on the air waves, it isn't funny that you have taken up the sword, stained by your belligerent hatred and your false allegations that demonstrate too the rest of us how insensitive, thoughtless, and ignorant of a decent reality you truly are.

    • This should be in the comedy section! These tea baggers are so damn funny! I'm sure the irony that many die due to a lack of health insurance is utterly lost on them
