*giggle*

From Instapundit: AND PEOPLE THOUGHT THE TEA PARTY WOULD BE THE SPLITTERS: SEIU Starting Third Party in North Carolin…:

Who Runs Gov says: It’s War: SEIU Starting Third Party In North Carolina
In a shot across the bow of Dems, the labor powerhouse SEIU is starting a new third party in North Carolina that hopes to field its own slate of candidates, part of an effort to make the Democratic Party more reliable on issues important to labor, I’m told.
SEIU officials setting up the new party, called North Carolina First, are currently on the ground collecting signatures to qualify as a state party, SEIU officials tell me, adding that there are around 100 canvassers on the ground right now. The goal: To have the party up and running so candidates can run in this fall’s elections.
It won’t be lost on political observers that three House Dems who voted No on reform are from the state: Heath Shuler, Mike McIntyre, and Larry Kissell.
The new project is an outgrowth of SEIU’s earlier vow to hold House Dems accountable for voting against health reform and against labor’s interests in general. That said, presuming the party qualifies at all, it remains to be seen how much clout it will wield.
All together now (to the tune of Danke Schoen): Shadenfreude, I'm feelin' shadenfreude...

BUAHAHAHA!

I bet you TWO DOLLARS there is someone in SEIU who thinks the Tea Party is actually a real political party rather than a block of fiscal conservative voters interested in small government.

BUAHAHAHA!

Second verse:
I recall
Union goons in fall.
How they tore your dress.
What a mess.
I confess,
That's not all!
