Former Rep. Rob Simmons (R-CT), the national GOP’s favored candidate for Senate against Democratic incumbent Chris Dodd in 2010, has departed from his former reputation as a moderate Republican — he’s now become such a devotee of the Tea Party movement, that he’s inserted a tea bag inside his pocket Constitution!
“I’ve made it a habit over the years to carry my Constitution in my pocket as a reminder of what this country and what this country’s government is all about,” Simmons told a recent event. “But more recently because of the participation of many of you, I’ve added something to my Constitution. I’ve added a tea bag.”
Simmons seems a bit half-hearted, though — the tea bag is still inside the wrapper.
