chief washington correspondent bob schieffer anchor of "face the nation," political analyst john dickerson and senior business correspondent anthony mason. bob, let's talk about the republican response. paul ryan will be delivering the official response as we heard from nancy and he'll be followed by michele bachmann, a member of the tea party. what's going on here? >> well, i mean... i've never seen anything quite like it! i mean, the republican leadership, people say why is michele bachmann also giving a response to the president's state of the union speech? i think, frankly, it's because the republican leadership is afraid to tell her not to. she represents a tea party-- depending on who you talk to, there's from 40 to 50 members of the tea party, you got all these people who got elected, beat mainstream republicans. these republicans, the mainstream republicans, are scared to death of these tea party people. they don't know what to do with them, how to handle them. that's one reason they're so vague about what they're going to do. they don't want to say. not only because they don't wan

meanwhile, bob schieffer is here with us, of course, tonight. and, bob, we're hearing so much about a new tone. will we hear and see a new tone both in the audience and at the podium? and i guess if we do will it actually last? >> schieffer: i know i'm going to be nominated for the mr. pollyanna of the year award, but i really do think there will be. only those of us who live in washington and deal with washington politics everyday know how really bad the partisan ship has been and how bitter all of this has been. and i mean i think everybody wants to just kind of step back. and i think you are going to see a toning down. i can't say how long it's going to last but when things are as bad as they are right now, katie, it certainly not going to hurt. and i think you're going to see, as jim said sunday on "face the nation" less jumping up and down than you normally see at one of these speeches and more time for people to think about what the president is saying. >> couric: let's listen to the sergeant at arms. >> mr. speaker, the president of the un

and now to chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. n must be awfully shocking in washington. >> schieffer: charles, this is the morning when washington must begin to ask the hard questions. is what happened in tucson the result of the mean and hateful tone that now marks our modern politics? >> osgood: while we've got you what is going to be on face the nation today. >> schieffer: we're going to devote the entire broadcast this morning, charles, to what happened in tucson. we'll be going to the scene to talk to our reporters there. key congressional officials and we'll bring in our correspondents covering this story here in washington. >> osgood: thank you, bob schieffer. we'll be watching. next week here on sunday morning. >> my fellow americans, ask not what your country can do for you. >> osgood: j.f.k. plus 50. ♪ woke up this morning >> osgood: and rocker greg almond. activ or for the delicious flavors like chocolate truffle and vanilla creme? mmm. -mmm. -mmm.

discussed the speech and the republican's response with cbs news chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. >> the mainstream republican establishment, the republican leadership, is really not sure what to do with these new firebrands that make up the tea party, who got elected in this last election. i mean, this is almost unheard of for some, basically, what was a back bencher in the congress, to announce that she was also going to give a -- a response. and nobody had the nerve to say, no, you can't do that. you know, they just sort of let it go. and i mean, i've been around here a long time, and i think back to, you know, when you had some very powerful speakers, and people like senate leader lyndon johnson, say speaker sam rayburn when he was in the house, from texas, i mean one can imagine what would have happened if some upstart, as it were, announced that they were going to make their own response. i mean, that just doesn't happen around here very much. and i think it shows that there's some real challenges facing house speaker john boehner. maybe he has a greater challenge dealing w
