The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - Lineup
By noemail@noemail.org (Mark Kilmer)
This week, Sunday, August 28, 2005, we have:
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert will talk to U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad, then he convenes his "war council" of retired generals: Wes Clark (Ret.), Former Supreme Allied Commander, Europe; Wayne Downing (Ret.), Former Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Special Operations Command; Barry McCaffrey (Ret.), Former Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Southern Command; and Montgomery Meigs (Ret.), Commanding General, U.S. Army, Europe. (I wish he could talk to General Eric Shinseki, former U.S. Army Chief of Staff. The man's name has been used by the anti-war left for years.)
FOX News Sunday: Host Chris Wallace will talk with two mother's who lost their soldier sons in Iraq, Rhonda Winfield and Dr. Barbara Porchia. If there is a difference of opinion between the two, will they each have Mo Dowd's "absolute moral authority," or is it time to forget about that one?
Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Democrat Policy Committee Chair Byron Dorgan of North Dakota will talk war.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer will talk to John McCain.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos chats it up with Senators John Thune of South Dakota, fresh from saving Ellsworth, and? Joe Biden.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer talks to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) and Dem committee member Ron Wyden of Oregon. Trent Lott continues his book tour, and Max Cleland stops by to spread some late August cheer. |
