Tea bagging and Faux ratings
I was just thinking, if Faux is pushing the slow and the stupid to go out to these pointless tea bagging parties and then plan to cover wall to wall the tea bagging party... who the heck is going to be home to watch Faux. Frankly who but an insane Faux viewer would actually show up to this crap (ok a small percentage of the easily amused will be on hand). But if they get 200,000 thousand total in their 500 locations (probably a fantasy)... isn't that pretty much a good chunk of their daytime audience. So I guess we should pay attention to the Faux ratings. If Faux reports high turn outs and yet still gets high rating then I can rest assured what I've always thought. That Faux generally plays to empty rooms and not to the huge audiences they pretend it does. Frankly I see no way Faux can get their audience out to these events and maintain an audience at home to play these events to.

3. I guess you could say the same thing about his ratings
If Rush does get his viewers to go to this then shouldn't his ratings go down? I mean this isn't a grassroots organized event drawing from a vast cross section of the American people. This is pretty much the people the small cross section of people that watch Faux. Not even my conservative friends have any interest in this fake made for TV event. I know no one talking about this thing sans the idiots on Faux.

4. A huge percentage of Faux and Rush fans are over 60.
That's why the FReeps have lots of time to sit at their computers and watch TV. They can never get a decent crowd at any of their "events."
