NASHVILLE — I’ve just arrived for the first annual National Tea Party Convention, but most of the attendees signed up last night, and some have started posting videos from the event. In this one by “davidzdavid,” former congressman Tom Tancredo explains why he came to speak on opening night.
DAVID: You came to the Tea Party Convention because they asked you?
TANCREDO: Well, sure! I didn’t have $500 for a ticket! Only way I could get in this room was to be a speaker!

So much for grassroots activism. Palin going to be there? Maybe she can show them how to shake her a**, wink and throw out a few coloquiallisms to raise more cash.
