Perry To Take His Tea Parties To The Phone Lines

Texas Governor Rick Perry is taking “Tea Parties” to a new level (or a new low, depending upon how you look at it). He’s going to co-host a Tea Party with South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford–over the phone.
Hoping to recapture the grassroots energy of last month’s “tea parties,” Republican Govs. Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Rick Perry of Texas will host a tele-town hall Thursday that’s being dubbed “Tea Party 2.0.”
The Republican Governors Association said it is expecting 30,000 people to participate in the town hall, which will take place roughly one month after the much-publicized anti-tax tea party rallies held in hundreds of locations across the country on April 15, the tax filing deadline.
Sanford and Perry will each speak for several minutes before opening up the town hall to up to an hour-long question and answer session.
I wonder how many of those questions will deal with whether South Carolina and Texas could secede from the U.S. and form an independent nation?
