Is the Tea Party getting prime time time to give a mini SOTU??

[boston bean]

[sufrommich]

1. No, they aren't. nt

[boston bean]

3. what the hell is bachman doing??

[sufrommich]

6. Attention whoring would be my guess. nt

[boston bean]

7. why is she getting so much attention if she isn't gonna be on after the prez?

[blaze]

2. That's my understanding. Michelle Blech!! nt

[RagAss]

4. No

[boston bean]

5. what is it bachman is doing? do you know? nt

[gateley]

9. I think she's going to giver HER/Tea Party response to the SOTU, and I believe

it's an online thing.

She's really pissing off the Republicans. I hope she is, anyway. Another loose cannon.

[boston bean]

11. Thank you gateley.

[gateley]

14. I know it's hard to get a straight answer sometimes.

:7

ETA: But attention whoring is accurate, too!

15. Last I heard

on NPR about 3 hours ago, CNN would be covering her response.

[gateley]

16. Is she too whack for even Fox? nt

[obxhead]

17. I'm sure they will cover her as well, but I refuse to even check

to see if they will.

Found this though:

Only CNN has said will carry the congresswoman’s remarks live and in their entirety; however, the Tea Party Express plans to live-stream her speech on its Web site.

23. I wouldn't click on CNN tonight if it was the only station broadcasting.

[gateley]

24. It will be interesting to hear how much of an audience she gets, although

some may just tune in to watch the train wreck.

8. If the Tea Party were to get it (I don't think so), then all political parties in the US should have

air time too - let's see, that could go on a few days!

10. Obama isn't quite ready to start quoting Lincoln ...

... but I think Bachmann will be channeling Jefferson Davis.

[boston bean]

12. Ha!

[obxhead]

13. CNN will be covering the tea nut. nt

[sufrommich]

18. Seriously? Why? nt

[obxhead]

20. Maybe they feel a need to fill the Palin void?

:shrug:

[boston bean]

22. good point, Palins hasn't tweeted for 2 days.....

[boston bean]

19. that just isn't right. will she be "armed and dangerous"?

[obxhead]

21. Carrying a firearm? Possibly

Dangerous? Yes, but that will mostly only be inflicted on her constituents at a future date.

Armed with insulting rhetoric, false "facts", and outright lies? You betcha!
