Here is the beginning of an absolutely shameless letter from Digby, John Amato, and Howie Klein:

Digby starts a post with a worthy premise, that Tea Party politics largely benefit the wealthy, belying the populist zeitgeist that's the group's [to the extent that it is a single group] calling card.

They could continue to market both the red and blue jerseys, of course. The fans love 'em!
The infrastructure would just get a little more efficient, that's all.
Well, I guess it's a moot point, since they're both under the same ownership as it is. Read below the fold...

While there is the typical category error ("the president and Democrats in Congress are bending over backward to be accommodating," rather than admission that the president is a conservative who agrees with the Republicans on most things), Professor K. hits upon a problem that was called out—and named—here just four months shy of five years ago...
