"The Daily Show" did this on 20 October: Bachmann Turncoat Override.

It comes at the very end of this clip:

I'm surprised no one has come up with a riff on BTO (Bachman Turner
Overdrive), e.g. "Bachmann Overreach".  Maybe "Turner" was too hard
to work in, unless there's another Republican with that name bursting
into sympathetic flames somewhere else.  Somehow "Bachmann Musgrave
Overreach" doesn't quite make it, although if I'm wrong, you heard it
here (maybe) first.
