Who's on the Sunday Morning Talk Shows
By noemail@noemail.org (Mark Kilmer)
For Sunday, March 12, 2006
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert leads with Senate Foreign Relations Committee members George Allen and... yes, Joe Biden. This one has early portents of 2008 for both candidates, and they will discuss Iraq and political stuff. Then General Bernard Trainor (retired) and Michael Gordon will be hawking their new book, which they claim will be the "inside story" of the occupation and invasion of Iraq.
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace had Dunc Hunter and Mike Pence on to discuss what was done to the DP World deal. Pence opposed the deal, but Hunter did it with a dangerous passion.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer talks to Barack Obama, a.k.a. simply Obama. He'll discuss ethics reform legislation, 'cos he's the Dems' point man, US port security, and his 1-2-3-4, we don't need no stupid war in Iraq stance.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos chats with Bill Frist and Russ Feingold, another pair of 2008 possibilities, about port security and national security.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer will talk to Senators John Warner and Carl Levin about the death of the DP World deal. He'll speak with Howard Dean, maybe about Howard Stern, I don't know. I hope he leads with Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, and he'll also jump on the Kemp & Edwards bandwagon.
-----
Allen and Biden (MTP) will be interesting just to see how Allen handles Biden. Both Hunter and Pence opposed the A-rabs on the ports, so we'll get nothing there. Obama's Obama. Warner (for) and Levin (grumpy) could offer some post-mortem insight on the ramifications of Congress' behavior. |
