The Best Five Minutes Of My Life

Rick Santelli made the best use of his 15 minutes of fame, with 10 minutes left over.

"The five-minute rant was the best five minutes of my life," Santelli tells reporter Abdon Pallasch. "But beyond that, really four minutes in time, it's the Tea Party. My wife pointed out to me, 'You were there for the insemination, but you were not there to raise the child.'"

Pallasch writes that Santelli and his wife have attended local Tea Party rallies, donning "sunglasses and baseball caps...not talking to anyone, not claiming any credit, just admiring democracy at work."
