Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson to attend tonight’s #SOTU (UPDATED)

Willie Robertson
Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson: Livening up what is otherwise sure to be one dull, frustrating, too-long speech.

LOL. I love it. From Rep. Vance McAllister’s (R – LA-05) Twitter page [1]:

CNN provides context [4]:

Now ‘Duck Dynasty’ star Willie Robertson will attend Tuesday night’s State of the Union address as a guest of Rep. Vance McAllister. Robertson campaigned [5] for McAllister, the newly elected congressman from Louisiana, last fall.

Robertson himself was called on by some in the GOP to run for the seat [6], but he backed his friend, McAllister, instead. McAllister won the special election in November [7] for Louisiana’s 5th Congressional district, a race that pitted two Republicans against each other.

In a press release, McAllister said he looks forward to “bringing some diversity to our nation’s capitol” Tuesday night with the attendance of his bearded guest.

A big question for Tuesday night’s State of the Union address is whether Robertson will sport his trademark stars-and-stripes bandana. He’s worn it on red carpet events in the past, but will it fly in the more-formal House chamber?

And Sean Hannity will be in attendance [8] as a guest of Rep. Louis Gohmert (R – TX-01):

Well, at least things won’t be a total bore now. ;)

The President’s SOTU will be broadcast live tonight at 9pm on the “big three” networks and news networks. You can also catch it online via CSPAN [11]. The Wall Street Journal has excerpts [12].
