" You know, if you look around the poker table, and you can&amp;#039;t tell who the sucker is... There certainly can&amp;#039;t be any surprise that the Tea Party &amp;quot;Movement&amp;quot; is the last arena in America where AstroTurf is considered a proper playing field. I mean, if it weren&amp;#039;t for the wingnut welfare complex, Dick Armey actually might have had to go out and work for a living \u2014 instead of grifting from one long con to another, whether that was the economics department at Texas A&amp;amp;amp;M, or a career as a noxious scold in Congress, or, now, as a ten-gallon fake in a big hat, running his own play on rubes who wouldn&amp;#039;t know a front group if it set up shop on their lawn. Armey&amp;#039;s not the only bunco artist plying his trade here, as is clear from the story. There&amp;#039;s something sweet, though, in how the local folks still believe that they&amp;#039;re running a grassroots rebellion when they&amp;#039;re clearly just getting played, and a little more than cogs in a &amp;quot;movement&amp;quot; that&amp;#039;s about as spontaneous as the Rose Bowl Parade.
