Washington man wants tapeworm "attached to the taxpayer's rectum" on state seal

By GottaLaff

Some things just shouldn't be said out loud:

James Vaughn of Orting filed an initiative this week with the office of Secretary of State Sam Reed to replace the current seal, an image of George Washington, to a picture of "a tapeworm dressed in a three-pieced suit attached to the taxpayer's rectum," The Seattle Times reported Wednesday.

The papers filed by Vaughn, which include a few pages complaining about the taxes paid by residents and business in the state, said the tapeworm image would be surrounded by the grammatically awkward phrase: "Committee to sucking the life out of each and every tax payer."

Sounds suspiciously like a Tea Bagger to me.

I could be wrong, of course.

But to their detriment, the Tea Baggers have associated themselves so strongly with extreme measures to fight taxes that I now make that connection more often than not.

The reputations of regular folks with legitimate gripes have been tarnished. That's some legacy, Tea Tantrumers.
