From my vantage point in the 8th Dimension, it strikes me that this is likely due in large part to the marketing genius of reaching into the past and resurrecting a once successful American idiom from the 18th Century -- the Boston "Tea Party."

That reminds me, I've been trying to think of a good use for "Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine -- Continental Liar from the State of Maine."
