A slap in the face ...

Comments below from a reader at Americablog whose mother watched this:


Oh, GREAT. Thanks, Rachel.
Actual conversation with my 74 year old mother, a fightin' liberal from way back, and HUGE fan of KO, Rachel, Jon Stewart and Colbert:
Mom: "Honey, what does 'teabagging' mean?"

Me: Spews last sip of cocktail all over room.

Mom: "I was watching Rachel last night and they were talking about these asshole teabag parties and it was clear that it is a double entendre for something else."

Me: "Jesus Christ, you're 74; aren't you supposed to be getting a little fuzzy?"
So I explained teabagging and the resulting howls of laughter sent her into an asthmatic coughing binge. Now this (the post about 2M4M). I'm hoping she can figure it out on her own.
