Rasslin' Is Doing a Tea Party Bit!

From The Dallas Observer: Pro wrestling and Glenn Beck are in a fight . . .  WWE has invented two "Tea Party" villain characters named Zeb Coulter and Jack Swagger. They wear safari vests, hate illegal immigrants, and are real bullish on President's Day . . . . 

It's all very subtle. Slate pretty much calls this one, terming it a blatant publicity stunt. As opposed to the stuff WWE does to promote literacy and fight world hunger. [BSG note: That was funny.]

Several people, probably the ones you'd expect, have taken the bait. Alex Jones and his InfoWars folks got pissed off about it first. Beck leapt on the bandwagon shortly thereafter, asking "Did George Soros buy the WWE?"

My head is spinning. I never watch the WWE (that's some wrestling acronym) so I had no idea this was going on.  I was expecting Zeb and Jack to be over the top, but they pretty much sound like Tea Partiers. Right? So why is Glenn Beck mad? Doesn't he pretty much preach the same message? Sheesh. Cats chasing dogs. The world is going crazy.
