Tea Party Turning Us Into Nation of Irrational Teenagers

“What do you call an electorate that seems prone to acting out irrationally, is full of inchoate rage, and is constantly throwing fits and tantrums? You call it teenaged. Is voting for a deranged Tea Party candidate such as Christine O’Donnell, who has no demonstrable talent for lawmaking, or much else, so different from shouting, ‘Whatever!’ and slamming the bedroom door? Is moaning that Obama doesn’t emote enough or get sufficiently angry so different from screaming, ‘You don’t understand!!!’”

— Vanity Fair magazine Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter in the December issue.
