Janeane Garofalo made an appearance on Countdown with Keith Olbermann recently in which she claimed that the only reason hundreds of thousands of people attended Tea Parties was racism.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs tried to build up how big of a cut this was with the standard '$100 million is a lot where I come from' line, until Jake Tapper interjected by pointing out Gibbs himself just a couple of weeks ago said that $8 billion in earmarks is a miniscule amount.
