Tea Party Protest in Washington, D.C., Saturday, September 12, 2009. It now appears to have been the largest gathering of the people in Washington, D.C., ever! And what did a variety of news sources report? Here's my selection:
- White House Friday: Zero? The White House on Friday claimed it was unaware of the planned rally. "I don't know who the group is," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters with a shrug.
