The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - Lineup
Here's what we have:
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert will talk to Matt Cooper of 0i>TIME Magazine. He'll also chat with RNC Chair Ken Mehlman vrs. Former Clinton staffer John Podesta, who currently runs the George Soros outfit Center for American Progress.
FOX News Sunday: Host Chris Wallace talks with Arlen Specter and Louisiana's Mary Landrieu, whose vote they say is "key." (They make the same claim of Specter, but he's hopefully in a box.)
Representative Jane Harman (D-California) will be on to discuss Karl Rove and THE LAW.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer, will chat, on the Karl Rove matter, with Joe Wilson. Fifty years ago, one thinks, he might have interviewed Joe Stalin for the skinny on the Cold War.
Then he talks to Roy Blunt, Chuckie Schumer, and Lindsey Graham. The House whip and two Senators. Assisting with the frog-marching? er, questions will be Jan Crawford Greenbug of the Chicago Tribune.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos WILL NOT AIR. No Steph, no guests. ABC will air the final round of golf at the British Open. This year, it's at the St. Andrews course in Scotland. (Joe Wilson could not make the cut.)
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolfgang Blitzer talks to Judge Bork, Orrin Hatch vs. Joe Biden, and his usual cast of skillions.
-----
McCain and Hagel are absent, but Joe Biden will be on the CNN show. Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham, both beloved of the press for now.
Note that Joe Wilson has slipped to Face the Nation, whereas two years ago, he would have been front-and-center on Russert. |
