Another Teabagger protest ends with a whimper and not a bang.

Traffic on the Capital Beltway around Washington was slow on Friday, but the culprits were largely steady rain and a heavy volume of weekday commuters, not a purported 3-day rolling protest by independent truckers.

Video cams occasionally showed three trucks rolling side by side, clogging up cars and other trucks behind them, but the Beltway otherwise keep truckin'.

At one point, according to the Virginia State Police, four commercial vehicles slowed traffic to 15 mph after the drivers rode side-by-side across all four northbound lanes of I-495 in Virginia. Police pulled the drivers over and warned them not to impede traffic.

"No summons/ticket was issued," police said in a statement. "The tractor-trailers were then allowed to proceed on their way," officials said in a news release, WUSA-TV reports.

Although organizers of the "Ride for the Constitution" said thousands -- perhaps as many as 10,000 -- trucks would take part, at mid-morning, only about 30 or so tractor-trailers were spotted on the Inner Loop of the Beltway that circles Washington through Maryland and Virginia, according to Corinne N. Geller, spokesperson for the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Okay I am laughing too hard right now to write anything.

I will leave it up to all of you to mock these morons, while I hold my aching stomach and wipe tears of laughter from my eyes.
