The Motor City Madman will sit among the invited guests at President Obama’s State of the Union Address tomorrow evening. Ted Nugent, the bug-eyed, denim-clad, advocate for shooting anything with a pelt, who still occasionally performs music, is attending the annual presidential speech as the guest of Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas).

Stockman, a hardened conservative in his first term representing a swath of Texas stretching from the outskirts of Houston to the Louisiana border, sees in Nugent an ally against increased gun control, which Obama is expected to address tomorrow night. Nugent was invited “because he is a supporter of the Second Amendment and American values,” says Stockman’s spokesman Donny Ferguson. “We thought he would be a good representative.”

Additionally, tomorrow evening Stockman’s office intends to dredge up a 2009 incident in which Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) interrupted Obama’s address to Congress on the then-developing health care reform bill by shouting “You lie!” toward the president. The scene was replayed countless times and made Wilson a symbol of the burgeoning Tea Party movement.

In a kind of sequel to that low moment in congressional decorum, Stockman’s staffers will be live-tweeting the State of the Union, punctuating some tweets with the hashtag “#YouLie.”

“Depending on how bad the president goes off the mark,” Ferguson says, though he adds that his boss doesn’t plan to heckle audibly during the actual address.

“We’re doing it very respectfully,” Ferguson says. “I would not suggest yelling during the speech.”

As for the Nuge? Stockman’s office expects the gun-loving entertainer to drop by tomorrow afternoon for a round of interviews in the Cannon House Office Building, and will parade him around the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall following Obama’s address.
