The Tea Party Accident

Tea Party was patiently sitting at a stop light, intently listening, as always, to Rush on the radio.

Which is why Tea Party didn't notice the leased BMW, with the drunken, perma-texting GOP hurtling from behind. GOP slammed on the brakes at the last minute, but too late--plowed right into Tea Party. The fancy airbags saved GOP from any injury, but Tea Party was hurt. You could see it. Bystanders called Democrat in his aid unit, and he sped to the rescue.

There was no bleeding, but Tea Party complained bitterly that his neck really hurt. So Democrat applied the neck collar and gave Tea Party a couple pills to dull the pain. But Tea Party was pissed--at Democrat. What was wrong with him? What kind of a paramedic was he? Those pills were swallowed at least 30 seconds ago, and it still hurt! Pretty soon bystanders started asking Democrat the same questions. Loudly.

In the middle of the hubbub, GOP took the opportunity to back up the Beamer and sneak away from the scene. No one seemed to notice.

It's now a couple days later. Tea Party may need surgery. But he sure as hell isn't going to let Democrat do it. After all, if that guy knew anything about medicine in the first place, the pain would have stopped by now.

And GOP, off Scot-free, is back in the middle of the situation, promising the services he always provides. He'll be happy to represent Tea Party in the malpractice suit. He only requires 90% of the settlement.

And since Tea Party is going to be laid up for a while, he'll also give him a good deal chauffeuring him around town. And why not? GOP's driving record is clean. You could check with his friends.

Democrat sees everything that's wrong here.

But he's decided to say nothing.
