DERPIt’s predictable as clockwork; the sun rises in the east, water flows downhill, and wingnuts lie about the size of their demonstrations.

Here’s the world’s densest blogger again, JIm “Dim” Hoft, with a ridiculous claim (based on nothing at all) that there were 15,000 Teabaggers yesterday in Wisconsin. In Hoft’s vague world of idiocy, this means the left is now horribly embarrassed, and the Teabaggers win … something.

And of course, Hoft’s exaggerated wild guess is actually three times the real number. The ratio of pro-union demonstrators to Teabaggers was 10 to 1.

Officials estimated about 55,000 demonstrators in the state capital on Saturday, but no more than 5,000 appeared to be there for a rally backed by Tea Party groups, the first appearance by members of the conservative, limited-government movement this week.
