For Sunday, October 8, 2006
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert has another face-off, this one between Senator Jim Talent (R-Missouri) and Democrat Claire McCaskill. And then, Bob Woodward will on to hawk his little novel, the one which is now ignored, in the wake of Mark Foley's shenanigans, but is falling apart by the day.
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace speaks to Representative Jack Kingson (R-New York) about the "page scandal." Then he speaks with radio talker Laura Ingraham, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, and David Bossie, president of Citizens United. They're covering their conservative bases after two-weeks of Clinton (Bill) Nonstop.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer talks pages with two Republicans: Tom Davis of Virginia and Ray LaHood of Illinois.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to NRSC chair Tom Reynolds (R-New York) and DCCC boss and former Clinton (Bill) staffer Rahm Emmanuel (D-Ill) about the "Foley fallout" and the prospects for a Dem triumph this November.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer interviews Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, John Cornyn and Joe Biden, a bunch of reporters -- including two hawking a book -- and, of all people, Pat Buchanan, He's also pushing a book.

Going into this, we have to cut these guys some slack. We've put a lot of pixels to the bit with Foley and the pages, but the Sunday morning talkers are playing catchup. They ignored it last week, but now the Dems have had time to lock, load, and aim at Speaker Hastert. The paucity of Dem guests is surprising, Rahm, on Steph's show, is the elections guy who, having worked for Clinton (Bill), won't have a lot of latitude to talk about sex scandals. Joe Biden, on CNN, wants to talk about other things. It's terrible, he's above it, it's trivial: "Look, Wolf..."
If you know of anyone liveblogging Talent vs. McCaskill, let me know and I'll link.
As always, Josh Beall has his entertaining talkshow preview up at Free Republic.
I'll have the complete review here at RedState early tomorrow afternoon.

which is terribly annoying.
Anyway, if the page dam is about to burst, as Kowalski has heard,the Dems will get hammered this time. I'm all for it. The midterm is approaching, and I'd appreciate that voters will have the opportunity to clean out this place. Throw in Mel Reynolds, and some good can come of all this.
I checked and there is no Jack Kingson from New York. However, there is a Jack Kingston from Georgia.
Whatever the case I'm looking forward to seeing how the Talent-McCaskill debate ends up.
Come on over for live blogging tomorrow morning!
is losing steam fast. After all, there is not really much to it.
Once again the Dems peak too soon.

Debbie Dingle on FNS just made the statement that Democrats are, after all Americans first and politicians second.
Don't we wish! Actually Democrat politicians are Politicians first, Citizens of the World second, and oh...incidently Americans!
The paucity of Democrats may indicate that they fear Foley is starting to backfire on them. Foley is gone. The story now is who knew about this and sat on it until they could play it for political advantage. That story will not work to the donks advantage. They want this one to die ASAP.
