For Sunday, October 15, 2006

Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert talks to our ambassador to the U.N., John Bolton. After that, he slips into one of his little faux-debates, this one between Representative Mark Kennedy of of Minnesota and Amy Klobuchar, his DFL opponent.
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace offers us something which honeslty should have been left in the past. Q: "Have President Bush's policies left America less safe?" Answering this question in the affirmative (and "reporting for duty") will be John Kerry. He then talk to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about North Korea.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer talks to Rice then to John Warner and Sam Nunn, who co-founded the Nuclear Threat Initiative with drunken billionaire Ted Turner.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to Bolton then does one of those taped things with Bob Corker and Harold Ford.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer talks to Bolton, Howard Dean, Ken Mehlman, and Levin & Hagel.
-------------------------
I find it kind of sad hearing John Bolton defend the effectiveness of the United Nations, but that's his gig now. Secretary Rice always has something significant to say, and the Warner-Nunn interview on FTN could be interesting. Howard Dean never appears opposite Ken Mehlman, and I'm not surprised. Karl Levin is a sourpuss and Chuck Hagel is odd.
Perhaps Russert can ask Klobuchar and Blitzer can ask Howard Dean about Claire McCaskill's problems.
And as always Josh Beall has his Talk Show preview up at FreeRepublic.
I'll have the review in this space on Sunday afternoon.
