Lets not get down on Teddy here. 

I am proud of him. 

In four days he will celebrate 6 months of sobriety.

Congrats Teddy!

Point of order here, only five months so far...

Teabagger? Mysoginist? That's not resorting to name calling rather than making an actual point?

I know exactly why it's disgusting and I'm amazed that a homosexual isn't appaled by it.  This would be entirely unacceptible in the common (common= vulgar) vernacular if it had been a Republican who had coined it.  Prior to liberals jumping all over the term, it was a derogatory term used by homophobes to describe gay men.



LOL- Actually this should be post of the day.

Not sure where you have been living, but the so called 'vulgar' term teabagger has nothing to do with describing gay men, or homophobes. I guess you never watched Sex and the city?

And it was the 'teabaggers' (political group) themselves who first came up with this nickname, hence the irony and humor. You can hardly blame the liberals for jumping all over that one.

But not to worry, the political term, 'teabagger' is now legit since it achieved finalist status by the New Oxford American Dictionary for word of the year in 2009.
