Check out the Fox News clip from today's Special
Report of Mort Kondracke's exchange with KT McFarland over the impact of the tea party movement on national politics. [Clip is not up yet, but will be within a day or two]

It started as a discussion of the number of women getting into politics and the influence of Sarah Palin's Mama Grizzlies, but Mort came out swinging at Palin, Sharon Angle, whom he called "nuts" and Christine O'Donell. He was alarmed that the Republicans might be swinging as far to the right as it is under Obama. His litmus test, he said, is whether they want to get rid of the Department of Education. He seemed to be one of those David Brooks talks about in his current column, "The Backlash Myth."

KT McFarland was having none of it. I was loving it.
