So, tonight.  We have Obama’s State of the Union Address.

Followed by Marco Rubio’s Republican Response.

And, for the sake of the Overton Window Project, Rand Paul will represent the Tea Party with a response.  Saying much the same thing as Marco Rubio, only more defiantly…

… whatever the heck the “Tea Party” is, of course…

We do have a bit of a relief.  In past years, a Michele Bachmann “Tea Party Response” was televised.  This Rand Paul-er is down to its webcast, which is just and well and … hell, anyone who wants to post a Response to the SOTU go ahead and do so.

Also, for the sake of bemusement, Texas Congress-critter Steve Stockman will bring in a response by…

… Ted Nugent.

… who Steve Stockman will make available for the Press.  (A whole host of conservative talk radio shows, I suppose.)

Not the first or last time a provocative personality was in attendance.  I point out, of course  Lynn Woolsey invited Cindy Sheehan to attend with her to a Bush State of the Union— though she was taken away for Security fears that she might, like, yell out “YOU LIE” or something.

Ted Nugent provides the obvious Jon Stewart “hypocrisy” video for whenever a Fox News personality chimes in with ourtrage at either supposedly outrageous or legitimately outrageous comments from a celebrity making politics.  Kind of tedious, but necessary and a broken record.

What I want to know, though…

Can’t Steve Stockman speak for himself, like every other congress-critter who will put in a (dull and preditable) comment?
