While Everyone Was Talking About Michele Bachmann, An Egyptian Uprising Starts?

While seemingly everyone on television was busy perfecting his or her Michele Bachmann impression (Hey, did you hear that she looked into the wrong camera?), Fox’s Shepard Smith reported on the uprising currently gripping Egypt.

The news coming out of Egypt – and impacting U.S. allies – hasn’t been given too much attention on major news networks today, which have chosen to focus much more on President Barack Obama‘s State of the Union address and, to a nearly equal extent, Bachman’s response on behalf of the Tea Party movement.

Also taking a close look at the turmoil overseas is, interestingly, former CNN anchor Rick Sanchez, who has been diligently Tweeting news coming out of Egypt – a noble and necessary service, given many in Egypt have found that their access to Twitter has been blocked.
