Subscribe to RSSToday, the Tea Party Express announced that Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann (R) will broadcast her own response to President Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday.
Bachmann's response will be broadcast on the Tea Party Express' Web site.
But a Republican staffer with knowledge of the situation says that Bachmann's address won't be a rival response to GOP Rep. Paul Ryan's official response.
Rather, the staffer said, it's "a response of a member of Congress that was arranged by Tea Party Express well before GOP named its response."

OH GOODEE!
More comic relief coming our way!
L@@k into hers eyes... you are getting sleepy... sleepy...
She's too bizarre. I can't look.
I forget, who is Bachmann and why should I care?
Quick some one toss a bucket of water on her! "Help Me Help Me I'm Melting". So the "Official" Republican rebuttal isn't good enough she has to do the "Tea Party" rebuttal as well? Good grief they are desperate for attention and to demonise the President.
That's what Thorazine will do to ya! lol
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
That's what Thorazine will do to ya! lol
In addition to the inability to move one's eyes, Thorazine also causes lip smacking and stiffness. Guess that's why she and her sister Sarah find it so diffucult to go away. LOL
Easy prey, got that Spanky?
Michelle Bachmann’s Jesus-Lovin’ Barry-Bashin’ Bat@!$%# Crazy Hour
Unfortunately for her the State of the Union and the response are public services announcements and thus, are carried by the major networks free of charge, while the Bachmann response doesn’t qualify and is instead a teevee show programmed by Jesus talking in Bachmann’s head ( 6:00PM Joel Osteen Ministries … 6:30PM Bachmann SOTU Response … 7:00PM Two And A Half Men … then a Law Order SVU marathon) so she will have to find someone to sponsor it.
Probably Goldline and Hoveround and six or seven of the Koch brothers front organizations because it will appeal to the all important 64 to Going Towards The Light, Will Believe Any @!$%# They Hear demographic.

A Law and Order SVU marathon????? I'm in.
Oh, I get it, one loudmouth isn't enough! Maybe Bachmann will make sure us sheeple will hear the rebuttal! Remember the SNL skit where Garrett Morris yelled the news to the reporter that was telling us the news?? (This goes back into the 70's) Priceless for those of us old enough to remember!!!
Love it, but like I said, Law and Order prevails!!
Michelle Bachmann clearly has a need for attention. She, like her sister, Sarah Palin can raise money and eyebrows but neither of them are very bright and will say anything just to get in the headlines.
They are not serious individuals with gravitas.
What a dingbat. Why would anyone with an IQ over 40 want to listen to her or care what she says. Geez, get a life TParty.
Guess which respnose Hannity will jizz himself over?
But good for her. I think she SHOULD get 'out there' and be heard. Just like Palin is determined to keep doing. It really does help the self-destruciton process.
THERE YOU GUYS ARE......couldn't comment on the first story about Immelt this morning could you....had to get your talking points in line......had to find the spin.....
Maybe all of you should check the "Tapping Immelt" story on First Read from earlier today.....
I see, First Read....Mark and the rest of you...when you can't just put a story out there without explaining to your disciples how to handle it, you just put out a new story explaining it to them......great job guys....more superb "journalism"!
and by the way....could you add a "vitriol" button to your flagging option.....
"THERE YOU GUYS ARE......couldn't comment on the first story about Immelt this morning could you....had to get your talking points in line......had to find the spin....."
So..... call a cop.
Okay, I give up...anyone else know what "True" American is talking about? I'm thinking there is a code I am missing....
I believe they're demonstrating what it's like to blog while under the influence of Thorazine - just a hunch! ;o)
newdayDawning10.......CHECK "TAPPING IMMELT" story on First Read......english much?
Feisty......where are your comments on "Tapping Immelt"........can you say vitriol?....(it's ok, look it up)
Drive by.....WOW...is that honesty?
Ok, NOW I get it- "Yeah, but YOU guys...."
Great come back.........Feisty?
"Is that honesty?" OK- I can be pretty slow some times, and it's been a long day- Is What honesty??
So....call a cop
That seems like an admission to my post.
True American-2366567
MSNBC is liberal i.e. gives all points of view; unlike Fox aka the de facto Republican Headquarters.
In the morning you have conservative. In the evening you have liberals .
How many liberals does Fox have with their very own shows? I'm not talking about pundits either.
Juan Williams got a $300 million contract but not his own show.
Just saying...
Actually "True" American, I was talking about the talking points disciple stuff. Comprehend much?
True American-2366567
And in what language does the above pair of words form a sentence that conveys anything like a complete thought?
"That seems like an admission to my post."
It does? Hey, Feisty- you're right. I MUST have started (drinking) without you....
Good grief. True American--I commented on the Immelt story in First Thoughts. Why repeat it when the actual announcement came out. Other than that, don't know what you're talking beyond it's a lot of vitriol aimed at those you think conspire to do who knows what--post comments?
I wonder if it's purely coincidence that 'True American 'popped in under a Bachmann thread?
After attempting to decipher what TA's point is....
Ah hell... I'm right behind ya Buzz! *cheers*
Haven't read Tapping Immelt but lets see: GE stock now worth a quarter of when he took over.
Immelt is no prize.
Me fail English? That's unpossible!
"MSNBC is liberal i.e. gives all points of view; unlike Fox aka the de facto Republican Headquarters."
Now that is funny!!!! The only place where I've seen this on MSNBC is Soft Ball and Matthews doesn't let the guy speak. So, no, MSNBC does not give all points of view. This is why MSNBC is the bottom of the ratings, well besides CNN.
Can't wait for the live interview with Obama on Super Bowl Sunday, it should be good!!
paul-florida...the reason chris mathews dosen't let people speak sometimes is because when he ask's a question they don't give the answer to his question. he won't allow you to spin. you have to give the hard answers. that's why it's called hardball. now they should change hannity's show to be called softball . especially when " the palinesta" is on.
To True American
You want to keep that honorable name of yours??? This is not the subject here but how about you tracking down the true story of why Keith Olbermann was canned???
I apologize to all of you as I know I'm not on par here, but True American would know this answer!
I keep wondering if there is a real person there somewhere? Her eyes are so vacant that she is completely spooky. But still, her giving a response is hysterical. There is only one reason that she would do such a thing. She thinks she is Presidential material, and most likely the only person in the country that thinks she should run.
I would let to see a national poll on who is the craziest, Bachmann or Palin. I’m putting my money on Bachmann taking the crown.
Yea I would take bachman too but its close
Seriously! Bachmann? - Palin?.....
Who cares! They're both bimbos with little or no understanding of anything other than sticking their faces in front of a camera or microphone.
Neither one seems to have any idea of, or concern for, just how ridiculous they sound when they open their mouths.
As if either of these two morons has brains enough to come in out of the rain!
One has smaller breasts than the other one. But Fox seems to have them sorted out correctly.
Too bad for the GOP that Bachmann is butting in. Paul Ryan is a much better liar than Bachmann. He actually can sound credible as he shovels his BS. Bachmann just sounds insane.
Houston!
Bachmann just sounds insane.
Bachmann is insane. It just hasn't been documented yet.
The GOP staffer may say Bachmann's address won't be a rival to Paul Ryan's but my guess is there's some serious "fuming" going on behind the scenes.
Bachmann thinks she's a serious candidate, and scarey as it is, Rep Steve King's Iowa district would probably support her or her twin. She's in Iowa today. Wonder how long before Karl Rove and friends figure out a way to get her off the stage.
Michelle Bachmann .... one more reason for legalized abortion !!!
Or reopening of the mental health facilities that their god ronnie raygun closed
Really? You think this makes sense? Granted, Bachmann has gotten a voice coach to tone down her voice, dressing more up-town and less like a cheerleader - but the fact remains - she is not anything more than a Congressional representative up-start who has no clout, even if she does have her own megaphone. Bad form.
All right - let the games begin!
Actually bring back Jindal for a GOP response!
Hi Elise!
Good to see you! Hope you're well!
Michelle Bachmann .... one more reason for legalized abortion !!!
I Must Be Dreaming
Michelle Bachmann .... one more reason for legalized abortion !!!
That is a choice. However, I think people like her do serve a purpose. That is to provide us with comedy. That oughta keep the human species going. After all, laughter is the best medicine.

Bachmann will just be expressing the glassy-eyed views of whatever planet she came from. I can't wait until she gets her spaceship fixed so she can return home!
hello msnbc/comcast, you people are crazy to dump keith olberman-but then, perhaps it's a symptom of your illness.
dear msnbc/comcast you people are nuts to dump keith olberman....but then...if this is a hint as to how you will be conducting business-god help us all.
Just wait and see, Bachman will make a run for pres in 2012.
If she does then we will all see just how many wingnuts are out there.
Remember, Bachmann is the self-anointed Queen of White Tea (a variety that is easily over-brewed, becoming very bitter).
Bachmann has a penchant for taking unsubstantiated, isolated anecdotal accounts and using them as the basis for formulating public policy. Who needs verifiable evidence, unbiased data, and fact-checking when you can rely upon highly speculative supposition and inflammatory innuendo instead?
Bachmann's m.o. is to promote irrational fear -- delusional nonsense about taking up arms against census takers, the government sending people to internment camps, progressives in Congress having unAmerican motives, repealing the U.S. Senate, encouraging her constituents to be armed and dangerous, etc. She seems to regard Joseph McCarthy as a role model.
For someone who claims to be so knowledgable about the U.S. Constitution and indignantly points her finger at the "tyrannical conduct" of the Obama Administration, Bachmann sure is fond of making comments suggesting that what the nation really needs is a good old fashioned coup.
Screw Bachman, Fox, Limbaugh Gingrich, Palin, screw them into the ground & plant weeds over them then spray agent orange on the weeds.
Johnessy Demrich: I Agree. Seems they all have a button missing allowing their flaps to dangle .
I think raging penis envy may be a big factor in both Bachmann and Palin's personality profile, they both think with their little head even though they don't have one.
James-316346: They accuse many of being socialist dictators. They seem vengeful about the subject. I think both are sexual frustrated and looking for their own personal big dictoters.
Will she be naked?
