Hattip to Kathryn Lopez at NRO. I would advise Priestess Barbie to stay out of her way.

Hey, I wore an almost identical outfit when I attended a TP last summer, although my black T-shirt sadly lacked the Gadsden flag. However (and it pains me to admit it), the outfit is much cuter on Tea Party Barbie!
In the meantime, Obama thinks we should be thanking him. Via Hot Air:
President Barack Obama said Thursday he’s amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.
Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he’s cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters.
“You would think they’d be saying thank you,” he said.
At that, many in the crowd at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts stood and yelled, “Thank you!”
It’s nice to know the President of the United States is “amused” by the genuine concerns of many Americans and their desire for fiscally responsible government. I think he will find us proles considerably less amusing come November.
Darken the hair up a bit and she is a Sarah Palin doll…
(Guest comment from Don’s wife Cathy:) If anyone were actually making Tea Party Barbies, I’d buy one, and probably extras as gifts for female friends & relatives (even though my daughter’s “too old” for Barbies now). It wouldn’t even have to be Mattel itself doing it — I’ve seen plenty of eBay auctions from sellers who design & hand-craft Barbie outfits, either sold by themselves or on a OOAK (“one-of-a-kind” in eBay-speak) retooled Barbie doll.
In response to Donna’s comment regarding obama’s claim of cutting taxes…this video from AFP:
