Over at Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds notes the media's tiptoeing around the Islamic connection to the attempted Times Square carbombing, and asks rhetorically, "Surely there must be a way to connect him to those damn Teabaggers!"

Of course there is. The suspect, Faisal Shahzad, is of Pakistani descent. Tea is a very popular drink in Pakistan. They also cling to their guns and religion in that part of the world, and people like Shahzad express "antipathy to people who aren't like them", as Barack Obama famously put it. Sounds like all the hallmarks of a Tea Party member to me.

I also understand that the vehicle Shahzad attempted to detonate contained an AM radio. As any keen observer of these things knows, AM radio is a popular format for right-wing commentators.

Doesn't get much more Tea Party than that!
