If Chuck Todd's tweet is any indication, the networks will not only carry the SOTU Rebutal, but will carry the Tea Party Rebutal. Hey, that's not fair and balanced!

When told Bachmann was going to have network pool cvg of HER SOTU response, Eric Cantor asked: "Maybe I should ask why is that the case?
Maybe, like Eric Cantor, we should be asking "why is that the case?"
Andrea Mitchell interviewed Amy Kremer of the Tea Party Express and she stated that the Tea Party is not a wing of the Republican Party.
Right! So if that's the case, why did they elect Republicans?
Are they too lazy to set up a third party? Of course not, they are dyed in the wool Republicans pretending to be something else, but you all know that, don't you? The press knows it too.
Here's the ultimate irony....the theme for the SOTU is "How We Win The Future."
We Dems better start asking the question, "How do we win the future when the media cover the Tea Party as if it were a legitimate 3rd party?"
T'aint fair in my book.
One State of the Union speech...two rebuttals, both Republican (one real Republican, one pretending not to be Republican.)I suggest we need someone from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party (maybe someone like Anthony Weiner) to give a rebuttal to the Bachmann SOTU rebuttal.
Got that...
President Obama: State of the Union
Paul Ryan: Rebuttal to the State of the Union
Michele Bachmann: Rebuttal to the State of the Union
? : Rebuttal to the rebuttals to the State of the Union.
I want me some fair and frickin balanced.
They are running rough shod over us.
