Are the Republican and "Tea Party" SOTU responses at the same time?

[gulliver]

Please don't tell me the Republicans are going to get air time for two responses out of our gullible media.

1. Batshit crazy Michele Bachman will be shilling for the tea baggers

from hat I've heard. Not sure which republican ass hat will be responding.

3. Ryan of Wi.

He is in reality a teabagger himself.

2. 'Gullible?'

The corporate media know exactly what they're doing. Why do you think the teabaggers have been garnering so much attention since Dick Armey & the Koch brothers financed their inception?

4. Maybe gullible is not the right word.

I think the media loves the idea that the "Tea Party" (Republicans by a less stained name than "Republican") would give another response to the SOTU. More of a dust-up. More interest.

I think it's fairly brilliant of the Republicans if it works. They will have succeeded in turning an uninteresting single response into two semi-interesting ones--all free. In which case, where is Michael Moore to give the "Progressive Wing" SOTU response?
