If House Republicans aren't careful, they're going to choke their teabagging base with all of this red meat:

Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) today introduced — along with 75 other Republicans — a resolution to officially commemorate the 9/12 taxpayer march on Washington. Other sponsors of H.R. 870 include Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa.), and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the party’s whip.

And just a quick reminder of the people that these Republicans want to honor:

And from the timing is everything department, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) picked today to send out an email, blasting Democrats for wasting time by noting the birthday of Confucius, "with millions of Americans looking for jobs and the nation’s unemployment rate nearing 10 percent." Perhaps Mr. Boehner thinks that honoring teabagging will be a boon to the prostitution industry.
