The Sunday Morning Public Affairs Talk Shows By: Mark Kilmer Redstate
If it's Sunday...

Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert will talk to JF Kerry. Non-stop. For the entire show. Irrelevancy on the day of the first democratic election in Iraq.

FOX News Sunday: Host Chris Wallace talks with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Russert could have wanted her, but the White House prefers Fox. That's a possible scenario; the other being that Russert simply preferred to have Kerry. It makes sense, in a perverse way.

Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer talks to the leadership of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee: Dick Lugar (R-Indiana) and Joe Biden (D-Delaware), who strikes me as ready to run for the Presidency again in 2008.

This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to another 2008 possibility with a newfound anti-Bush streak: Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana. He'll also talk to Secretary Rice.

Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolfgang Blitzertalks to Senators John Warner and Carl Levin of Senate Armed Services; Ahmed "The Outlaw" Chalabi and Adnan Pachachi; Kurd leader Jalal Talabani; Iraqi national security adviser Mowaffak Rubaie; several others mostly involved with the election; and Secretary Rice.

I'll post summaries in here tomorrow, part of the regular Sunday fare here at Redstate.org.

I'm not surprised that Russert would give an hour to JF Kerry on the morning on which the Iraqis are voting, but it might be that he asked for Rice but she opted to go with FOX, and it is Russert's revenge, doing the Kerry thiaang.

Or perhaps Tim Russert is a goof with no sense of propriety.

Breaking News: Gun battle rages in Kuwait City
Last Updated: Sunday, 30 January, 2005, 07:40 GMT

news.bbc.co.uk
A gun battle has erupted in Kuwait after police raided a building where militants were believed to be hiding.
Police cordoned off an area of the city, from where gunfire and small explosions were heard, reports say.

Details of the incident remain limited, although one witness told the AFP news agency the shooting began at 0930 (0630 GMT) on a main street.

There has been a spate of violence in Kuwait which some say is linked to militants connected to al-Qaeda.
