The Sound and the Fury — for what it is

WASHINGTON - MARCH 16: Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) yawns during a "CODE RED" rally in opposition to the health care reform bill on Capitol Hill March 16, 2010 in Washington, DC. Sponsored by The American Grass Roots Coalition and the Tea Party Express, the rally focused attention and opposition to the congressional Democrats' efforts to push through a final vote on health care reform by the end of the week.

A little backlash by the visual media against the right wing’s anti-HCR rally at their “Code Red” demonstration in D.C. today? (Besides Mrs. Bachman unable to sustain the outrage, the photo also seems to play on the tea party being exploited by the suits.)

Update 1: Aha! According to Mojo, lot of those Tea Bagger buttons paid for by the RNC. Update 2: Via The Hill: DNC estimates crowd at 300, Freedom Works claims 1000.
