Lafayette Park, directly across from the White House saw a lunch-time crowd of about 200-300 people gather for the Washington D.C. installment of the American Tea Party, taking place all over the country today. Here is our earlier story announcing the event as well as a couple of entries I made this afternoon in a live-blog from the event, which wrapped up a little after 1:00 p.m. due to rain.

The crowd was fired up and a few well-known conservative bloggers and celebrities were in attendance.

Almost right off the bat, I ran into Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) who had just strolled in and was talking to a passerby. When I told him I was a conservative blogger, he told me that he was glad folks other than the MSM were covering the event, as they usually dismiss his presence at these gatherings as a Republican gimmick, forgetting the fact that Joe actually became known because of his political ideas, which he actually believes. He was there to interview folks in his new gig working for PJTV.

Michelle Malkin was in attendance and was live-blogging the event while simultaneously allowing folks to take photos with her while others paraded by showering her with heartfelt atta-girls for all her hard work for the conservative cause.
