Pretty much.
Fortunately it seems that the Teabaggers are a very minimal lot, a lunatic fringe that no one is really taking very seriously. The unfortunate thing is that they're stirring up a lot of noise and mud without doing anything productive.

As far as I can tell, they're just playing right along with Limbaugh et al. And the thing about those clowns is that their livelihoods depend on generating controversy- if the Republicans and Democrats work together constructively, then Limbaugh has nothing to talk about, and his ratings drop. So he rattles as many of these dimwits as he can to make noise and grab headlines, so he can stay relevant in the political spotlight. Since the obvious target is the Democratic president who is also a Harvard educated black man, they're all screaming as much nonsense as they can and using as many buzzwords as they can to keep the dimwits riled up.

Two days ago The Daily Show had a segment in which they showed Sarah Palin coming out to support McCain and had excerpts from her speeches- and it was as though she were doing a comedy roast. Sure, she got the limelight and got a lot of laughs, but she somehow seemed to forget that she was supposed to be there in support.

If that's their queen, I'd say that they're not going to be around for much longer.
