have those things in common, but egypt is a much more liberal society. the press is freer. egyptians are allowed to criticize the government in the press, on television, but what the government normally draws the line when people take to the streets and start to demand the ouster of the president. brooke? >> ben wedeman in cairo, thanks to you, and that is today's "reporter roulette." and back to washington, a tradition for the rival political party to respond to the president's state of the union address, but this year there's bit of a new tradition apparently. the tea party movement is responding as well, and even though it supposedly doesn't have a leader per se, the group has someone speaking on their behalf tonight. joe johns has some of the behind-the-scenes scoop. "political pop" is next.
