Howard Dean says Tea Party has been 'smoking some of that tea, not just drinking it'

After the bruising debate over raising the debt ceiling, Howard Dean had harsh words for the tea party during his appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation."

The former Democratic National Chairman said the group was to blame for the debate which held the country on edge for weeks and greatly damaged the American economy.

"This is a Tea Party problem," the fiery politician said. "They are totally unreasonable and doctrinaire and not founded in reality.

"I think they've been smoking some of that tea, not just drinking it."
