Glenn Beck exhorts his little 9-12 clubs to shout "We surround them!" In Iowa, once a month, the Glenn Beck clubs will get to shout, "We surround the governor!" WingNUTT Mike Studer of the Spencer Tea Party reports that Governor-Elect Terry Branstad will keep his campaign promise to have monthly meetings with an "advisory group consisting of 912ers,tea partiers.minutemen etc." (Minutemen... wow! Since when was it cool to openly associate with thugs and racists?)
Studer is inviting members of the Sioux Falls Glenn Beck club to attend... which make complete sense, since the Sioux Falls Glenn Beckers are as in tune with real Iowa political issues as the Iowa Teabags probably are. If the Iowa Glenn Beck clubs are anything like South Dakota's 9-12ers, Governor Branstad will find himself wasting a good hour each month talking about talk-radio bogeyman issues that have little to no bearing on the daily practical governance of his state. But I guess part of the job as an elected official is to listen to every citizen... even the ones with no clue about how the social contract works.
