NBC's Andrea Mitchell this weekend named the Tea Party as her Person of the Year. Two others on the syndicated "Chris Matthews Show" disgustingly chose WikiLeaks' Julian Assange (video follows with transcript and commentary): CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Welcome back, our big question this week: who is your nominee for Person of the Year, David? DAVID IGNATIUS, WASHINGTON POST: It's painful to say this but I would say Julian Assange the head of WikiLeaks. I’m sorry if I took your person. HELENE COOPER, NEW YORK TIMES: Did he steal my person? IGNATIUS: The release of the WikiLeaks documents is one of those game changing events about public information and the way the world works, and I, people will be talking about it 50 years from now. MATTHEWS: Yes? COOPER: What he said. IGNATIUS: Isn't that right, Assange? ANDREA MITCHELL: I'm not going to say Julian Assange. I would say because of the midterm elections, the House going Republican, the Senate not going Republican, the Tea Party. They’ve changed the debate on deficit reduction. They’ve got, you’ve got Ron Paul now in charge of monetary policy from the House. They have changed politics for now in Washington. MATTHEWS: Mike Duffy. MICHAEL DUFFY, TIME MAGAZINE: I'm not telling you. I voted early by absentee, I haven't told my wife, can't tell you. But tune in Wednesday, find out. It's a great parlor game. MATTHEWS: I think it’s Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader who forced the President to the left on every issue from healthcare to the stimulus. He made him into a left-wing president because of Republican policy. It was brilliant. It allowed the Republicans to have a brilliant political year. I’m not sure it was in the country’s interest, but he made the big difference this year. The Tea Party as Person of the Year really makes a lot of sense. Likely no other entity had a bigger impact on politics this year than this movement. But given how the liberal media have beaten on this group and its members since day one, would Time dare give them such an honor?

I nominate pretty, pretty flowers and fluffy bunnies. And whoever helped send that POS Made-Off's kid across the River Styx.
Did someone incorporate?
A Paul for President! Nice editorializing passing as objective reporting. The use of the adverb "disgustingly" shows where the reporter (Noel Sheppard) stands on the First Amendment.
Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war. The Tea Party as Person of the Year really makes a lot of sense. Likely no other entity had a bigger impact on politics this year than this movement. If you read some of the posts around here, you don't see any gratitude for the TeaParty. No, all you see are attacks. Attacks that only help the democrats. Off course, when you look at the posters doing the bashing, they are loser and malcontents. IMO some are being paid by the democrats/government to post here. The TeaParty is not only a threat to the RATS, it's a threat to the whole DC establishment. Go TeaParty Go!

I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to their impact, but for the moment it's hilarious to watch the left wingers' hair bursting afire.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. ....

Their hair was on fire long before they'd ever heard of the Teaparty The TeaParty candidates get sworn in Jan 5th, for a lot of them this will be the first office they've ever held, expect them to make some mistakes.

I will excuse anything but wimpish cowardice.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. ....

Mike Flaherty: Yeah, it's been there a long time. I wish I knew which corner.

If you believe in small government, then you shouldn't be in the White House.
