And helping convicted killers escape certainly could have political implications. Don't forget, one of them was convicted of shooting a sheriff's deputy and running over him with the cruiser. Tea baggers hint at armed insurrection. What better way of stirring things up than springing a cop killer loose from prison and triggering a massive law enforcement response?

Apparently they don't have an exclusive claim to that trait.

she flies the tea party flag outside her house. She is accused of helping two prisoners escape, one of whom killed a sheriff's deputy. May not prove anything but she is the link.

ratings success with the week long Poop Cruise coverage has them covering shit as a corporate goal.

BREAKING NEWS! Escaped cons not yet caught! Details to follow. And follow. And follow.

I don't think her politics have anything to do with this.
