For Sunday, March11, 2007
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert becomes the first Sunday morning talk show host in what seems to be years to: a - Interview U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad AND b - Not be named Wolf Blitzer. Seriously, only Blitzer would talk to the man, but now that Khalilzad will represent the United States in the regional security talks which include Iran, France, and Syria of 16 delegations, Russert may want to insist that the Administration has caved to Joe Biden.
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace talks to Fred Thompson. He might be doing this to close the door or to open it. Then the host listens to Maxine Waters of the Surrender Now caucus.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer, who seems to be somewhat insane, will talk "Iraq War; Treatment of U.S. Veterans; the Libby Verdict" with Chuckie Schumer, Snarlin' Arlen Specter, and Claire McCaskill. Dreadful.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to Bob Dole about his job reviewing military hospitals, then to Jim Webb about Jim Webb things.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer talks to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Joe Biden and Lindsey Graham, and candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination Mike Huckabee.
-----
Khalilzad (MTP) is an important interview, as could be Fred Thompson (FNS). Waters {FNS) is going to say what Waters does, as is Jim Webb (TW). I don't know what tack Dole (TW) will take, but we know what Specter and Schumer (FTN) will spout. I wonder if McCaskill (FTN) will babble incohrently.
Joe Biden vs. Lindsey Graham (LE) is one we've seen before in many forms. Maybe Huckabee (LE) can light a fire. It seems that all Joe Biden can do these days, campaign-wise, is to extinguish them.
I'll have the show-by-show review live here at RedState.com tomorrow afternoon.

UPDATE: Josh Beall has his usual witty preview up at FreeRepublic.
it's like an old vaudeville show. Are these guys on salary, do their wives not allow them home on weekends, do they know the green room better than their living room?
Maybe they're the only Senators sober enough to show up on a Sunday morning, or the only ones able to piece two sentences together. Or is it their predictability?
