Who is broadcasting Michelle Bachman and why?
Why is she to give a "response" to the State of the Union address? I can understand giving Republicans an opportunity to respond, it has become part of the media tradition that there is an opposition response to the SOTU but why Michele Batshitcrazy as well?

Why not any of the the 535 members of Congress? They all have seats to win. If the caucus acting as the political representatives of the Tea Party Terror movement are afforded the ability to drool all over the camera expressing their outrage that President Obama is a big black scary Commie, why would it not be reasonable to have alternative viewpoints from say the Progressive caucus of the Democratic Party or Bernie Sanders? Why is an actual left of centre view point not shown?

Any member of the Progressive caucus or America's one Socialist Senator would be cheaper to broadcast than any of the Tea Party movement, after all the Studio would not need to find a drool proof camera.

1. Answer to your second question - Because she is the craziest Republican they can find
They want to run with the batshit crazy theme.

2. didn't she decide to do it? Just more camera time as she prepares for Iowa
Has there ever been a more loopy member of congress? Yet she continues to be elected. (and we in Florida are criticized . . . )

5. So in order to watch her response
you need to go to the Tea Party Express site and log on?

That will be popular, so why does it get news coverage? It is like a Member of Congress discussing the SOTU with their local paper.
