For thousands of Americans, Tax Day was a moment to protest what they see as bloated budgets and a pile of debt being passed on to their children.

For CNN, MSNBC and other media outlets, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use the word “teabagging” in a sentence.

Teabagging, for those who don’t live in a frat house, refers to a sexual act involving part of the male genitalia and a second person’s face or mouth.

The article then goes on to explain the veiled references to teabagging (the sexual act, not the bizarre an unenlightened form of protest) from Rachel Maddow, David Shuster and Anderson Cooper.

“It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging,” Cooper explained. Gergen laughed, but Cooper kept a straight face.

Later, the article directly addresses Maddow and Cox’s back and fourth (which you can see here and here) in the most absurd way possible:

If anyone thinks the orally charged remarks on mainstream cable were just a coincidence, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow’s segments over the past week with guest, Air America’s Ana Marie Cox, would dissolve all doubt. Their on-air gymnastics, dancing around the double entendre of the week, looked like live-action Beavis and Butthead.

FoxNews, of course, ignoring their own live-action Beavis and Butthead in the form of Glenn Beck and whomever they have on that agrees with Glenn Beck.

The bottom line is this: FoxNews doesn’t think teabagging is a bad name, but CNN and MSNBC should be more mature than to make crude, sixth grade jokes about a sexual act involving putting the testicles and scrotum on to someones face.

And yet, doesn’t some of the blame fall on the teabaggers themselves… those who claim to be oppressed and overtaxed when, in fact, the only people who’s taxes were hightened were the top 5% of wageearners? The proverbial teabaggers, not the teabagees that they would claim to be?

I think teabagging humor has reached it’s apex. I honeslty think that teabagging can not get any funnier, and I haven’t even seen the Daily Show and Colbert Report’s takes on it yet.

Actually, you know, if Dick Lugar starts talking about teabagging, then it could be just a little funnier.

I also wonder what sort of traffic “Dick Lugar teabagging” is going to drive to the site. For now, he’s Anderson Cooper talking from personal experence, I assume:

Isn’t that just Coop’s dream? Look how happy he looks:

The full 60 Minutes interview – it’s actually about 13 in length – is below the fold. An insightful look at the life of a 23-year-old whose personal goals became America’s victories.
