A tipster pointed us to the "Mock the Dummy" video below, which depicts Rand Paul, Carl Paladino and others explaining how to form your own Tea Party, what issues to stress, etc ("It's my Tea Party, and I'll cry if I want to"). Paladino is depicted with a Yankees hat, and a tuft of purple-ish chest hair (we think it's chest hair), and he tells the other puppets what the people really want: "They're looking for fucking cajones. Not some prince hiding behind Daddy's coattails."
