For Sunday, May 25, 2008
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace talks to Clinton campaign boss Terence McAuliffe Then he chats Congressional elections with Dem Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) honcho Chris Van Hollen and National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) chair Tom Cole.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to Obama advisor David Axelrod and FOX News political analyst Karl Rove.
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert has another holiday roundtable with David Brody, Maureen Dowd, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Ruth Marcus, the idiot Jon Meacham, and Michele Norris.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer talks with Clinton mouthpiece Howard Wolfson, McCain buddy Lindsey Graham, and famed Nazi hunter Dick Durbin.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer talks with Major General Mark Hertling, commander, Multi-National Division-North; Jane Harman and David Dreier, just back from Baghdad; and his usual cast of thousands.

Wallace will want to know if Hillary wants to be Barry’s veep. The Congressional stuff will be interesting, but the conventional assumption is that the GOP is going to have its hat handed to it this fall.
Axelrod and Wolfson are on every week. This is getting old, but I hope this isn’t over until the Dems do Denver. Same with Terence, of course.
The Baghdad stuff will be good, but Durbin never is. He’s a cranky individual.
Rove seems to be having fun with this personable guest persona.
I’m not looking forward to the roundtable.
And I’ll watch these shows and have a review up by tomorrow afternoon.

The drive bys just keep trotting out the same old hacks every week. Doris Kearns Goodwin lost all credibility a few years back with that plagiarism thing, yet the left continues to tout her as some kind of voice of wisdom. Puh-leeze.
Poor George Will must seem like the lonliest guy in the world week in week out as the token conservative on the Sunday talkers.

sounds like rush will have a helluva
mess to clean up monday morning!!!!!
The whole discussion is such a yawner.
On Fox News this morning Representative Tom Cole became exhibit A for what's wrong in Washington with too many of our Republican Congresscritters.
The parts that I caught were:
When Rep Cole was asked about why he voted to override the President on the Ag bill, "It was the best deal", when challenged on giving subsidies to those farmers making over 2 Million dollars a mush response was given.
When Rep Cole was asked about ear mark reform, a total load of bull excrement was delivered centered on asking the Donks to get together and talk about reforming earmarks, and maybe form a commission to study the problem. What ever happened to not only NO but HECK no to all ear marks, Donks be darned.
If you want to understand why Republicans are loosing elections, Representative Tom Cole is exhibit A.

I am only curious about Meet the Press for one reason...to see if there is a mention of the letter to NBC that Ed Gillespie sent on behalf of Pres. Bush.
I don't see any hope of a "fair and balanced" discussion, if it does come up, since there isn't one person on that panel that is a Bush supporter .....Matthew Dowd is SUCH a disappointment.
