Cartoon: Tea Party vs. Reality The Tea Party movement is on the rise, and so, too is Tea Party mockery. Here's a roundup of some of the best recent late-night jokes poking fun at the Tea Partiers:

"What a day for the Tea Party people. Did you see that? America's parks and fairgrounds were lost in a sea of man-boobs. They were venting their anger and rage against taxes, which, of course, in most cases for them went down. Protesting their taxes went down — but you know, why let the truth spoil a perfectly good Klan rally." —Bill Maher

"Well, tomorrow in Nashville, Sarah Palin will speak at the Tea Party Convention. Tickets are $550 apiece. Where are they getting this tea, Starbucks?" —Jay Leno

Misspelled Teabagger Sign: Thank You FOX News "The Tea Party nation announced last week that Sarah Palin will headline what is being called the first national Tea Party convention in February. It is expected to be the nation's largest ever gathering of misspelled signs." —Seth Meyers

"At a Tea Party rally in Boston yesterday, Sarah Palin praised the crowd for winning that Senate race in Massachusetts. She said: 'Shoot, look at what you did in January. You shook up the United States Senate.' Unfortunately, no one heard the Senate thing, because after she said 'shoot,' 300 guns went off. " —Jimmy Fallon

Cartoon: GOP's Tea Party Problem "Federal taxes last year when down for 98 percent of people, but when asked about this, only 12 percent of the Teabaggers thought this was the case. 88 percent of them had it wrong. And a spokesman for the Teabaggers said, 'We don't want to just be taxed less. We want to be taxed less by a white guy." —Bill Maher

I’m convinced that the so-called “Tea Party” movement is nothing more than a group of individuals who are still angry and bitter over the O.J. Simpson trial.

2 things teabaggers hate:

1. Being called racist.
2. Black people.
