To hear the tea party crowd tell it, we are headed for a government take-over and totalitarian tyranny, and the good-for-nothin' government is to blame. For one tea party-promoting, D-list celebrity's wife, however, it seems the government is good enough to defraud.From the AP:
The wife of Monkees vocalist Micky Dolenz has been arrested on charges that she defrauded a housing program in New York City.Authorities in the city's Department of Investigation say Donna Quinter illegally received nearly $137,000 in government rental subsidies for her Manhattan apartment.The subsidies were supposed to go to middle-income families.Investigators say Quinter didn't disclose that she was sharing the apartment with a friend. They say she also did not disclose that she had married Dolenz and was living primarily in a gated community outside Los Angeles.
Micky Dolenz was a performer at "America's Tea Party," the right-wing, FOX News-promoted anti-everything gathering in Dallas on July 4th. I don't know if his wife shares his teabagging ways. But maybe the event's speakers--which included tea bag queen Michelle Malkin--advocated defrauding the government as pay-back for all that damn socialism.
