As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

Wow. Face The Nation, is really balanced today.

[Morgan in Denver]

Good morning AB, and all.

FNC blanked with liberals? Oh well, as long as Brit Hume is there maybe the fireworks will be an extension of July 4th.

[anita]

Mr. Libby had told Mr. Fitzgerald that he had heard about Ms. Wilson from, the New York Times reports.

Mr. RussertRussert has any crediblity after this?

[rodguy911]

Morning AB and thank you as usual for providing the t.v. talk show thread.

Watch for Mary Landrieu's smiling face, beneath it are lies and deception and page after page of rat/talking points, she is truly a lame brain.

Matt Cooper on Timmy, that should be predictable, ol Bob Woodward wheeling out karl bernstien again, Berny must be low on cash. Again. Maybe a ploy to take a few bucks away from someone. anyone, can you say Media Whores.

And finally the piece de resistance the evil Chuckie Doll and lying Joe Wilson. That will be something to see as they roll all over ol' Bob Schieffer on CeeBS.

[Shqipo]

Will the highly overrated Tim Russert even toss one serious inquiry to his fellow journalist? Doubtful. This story has truly epitomized the wretched state of modern day journalism and its worship at the temple of "factual relevance".

Nothing to report on my Friday & Saturday nite hobby; Everything finally went off swimingly on both night's performances. I'm also over on E-Bay this morning bidding on an "Effects Pedal" for bass to add some variety to my tone and sound.

[newconhere]

I cant believe Wilson is actually going to do this, now. Face the Nation ought to be interesting lets just hope Bob S. has all of his notes current and straight? yea right.

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Wilson and Chuckie on FTN today. Maybe this will be Wilson's final performance. I guarantee that at least 90% of the American people don't know who he is, nor do they care. In a weeks time the other 10% will forget all about him. Chuckie won't even be returning his phone calls. We all know people like Wilson and Plame. They are "self promoters", so caught up in their self importance that they can't see the truth - that they are nothing more than 2 bit players.

[pinz-n-needlez]

Thanks, AB.

Marking for tonight. :-)

Come on Fox! I rely on you to give me some balance to MTP. I guess I will try to catch Mehlman defend himself and his party from 5 muggers. 5 to 1, probably is actually a fair fight.

[Carolinamom]

Thanks again for providing this weekly thread. QUESTION: Is there some law that only dems can be featured on Sunday Morning Talk shows?

Ahhhhhh. CBS gives the Wilson/Schumer clown act another camera. Another Joe...Biden is his name...is losing ground...only 1 appearance today. :o)

[mainepatsfan]

A minute into MTP and it's already off to a bad start.

C-SPAN 1: Looks interesting if you prefer not to listen to the media blather-on about the Rove non-story-story.................................

[chiller]

We Chris Mathews voyeurs/sadists witnessed an exceptional display of delusion this week. Except on the question of whether Rove will be tossed from the WH. His panel of experts predicted 10-2 that Rove will stay. I take that to mean they know Rove is not implicated, but Chrissy refuses to face reality.

His closing lecture was particulary haughty, chastising voters for electing W because of the important decisions a leader must make. He doesn't get it that that's exactly why we elected W.... to keep knee-jerk liberals like him distant from any adult decisions.

[skinkinthegrass]

Thanks, AB. :)

FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Sens. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Mary Landrieu, D-La.; Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif.

What is the matter with Fox these days? Sure would be nice if they would get a Repblican on these days instead of the reliable mouth pieces for the Leftist Attack Machine and RHINOS like Specter, who will fall all over themselves agreeing with the Hysteric Left.


LATE EDITION (CNN) : Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, commander of the Multinational Security Transition Command in Iraq; Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Joseph Biden, D-Del.; Mehlman; Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe; former Attorney General Richard Thornburgh.


Never thought I would see the day when CNN actually looks to be putting on the better show. Of Course, CNN will be sure to give the mouth pieces for the Leftest Hate Machine, like Biden and Tribe, 3 times as much time to spew their bile so I guess this morning looks like a total waste.

[FreedomNeocon]

LOL... Sam Donaldson (yes hes still alive) on Chris Matthews: "And why would Scott Mcclelen tell a untruth... weather he knew it was untrue or not at the time, I don't know"

Typical...

MEET THE PRESS

Russert shows TIME cover. Cooper says the first time he knew about Plame was from Rove. (very damaging if true, just as damaging if Fitzgerald believes it is true.)

Cooper says there may be other government sources than Libby and Rove who told him about Valerie Plame.

Russert replays Cooper's announcement without showing Cooper's dramatic, deceptive reason why he could now testify. Cooper goes into a long-winded response, but does not mention or apologize for his drama queen performance.

Russert asks a tough question: "you mentioned "other governement sources". "Did you get special confidentiality waivers from them"? Cooper refuses to respond.

Too bad, but predictable, Russert moves on to long term effect on TIME for revealing sources and documentation.

Spector's hearing on The Shield Law this week will take on new significance because Cooper is testifying. EXPECT THE DEMOCRATS TO TURN IT INTO A BASH ROVE PHOTO OP.

Cooper asked his biggest regret. He calls all this "A War On Wilson"

LOL... Matthews "My Word" was hilarious.

Basically running down "what you get for your vote" in reference to president.

Complete with "drilling in Anwar" summary while clips of mountain goats and caraboo playing on rocks plays, and the quote "all the way to the Supreme court that ultimately won the elction for him"

The transparancy is astounding!

[summer]

Podestra: "The president said he would fire the LEAKER not the LAWBREAKER."

Podestra really sounds like he is grasping at straws. If no laws were broken, Rove must still go! LOL...
