Perhaps Rick Santelli is the modern architect of the Fiscal Tea Party.  It was his epic rant on TV, around the stimulus and bailout bills, which visibly gave birth to a righteous awakening of people who realized he was expressing their very concerns.
A year ago, like many others – including us, Santelli smelled something afoot with the strange employment numbers just prior to the election.   He was attacked mercilessly by the left and the right who labeled him an “unemployment truther”.   Yesterday, given the revelation the Census Dept. was actually fudging the figures, Santelli framed his righteous vindication.
