Screaming Lord Sutch and the Tea Party

Here is a nicely written article from the New Yorker which relates the candidates in the current primary elections in the US to that of Screaming Lord Sutch of Monster Raving Looney Party fame. It addresses the anti-gravity platform of the MRLP and those in the US, most notably Christine O’Donnell, who, with the backing of the Tea Party, won Delaware’s Republican senatorial primary, defeating Mike Castle, the established candidate. It concludes by saying that skepticism about government is an essential element of democracies as Screaming Lord Such demonstrated. But the Obama administration still has to make a more persuasive case that anti-government rhetoric of the Tea Party sort must be met with an equal skepticism. Click here for the New Yorker article.
