p>The Talk Shows
Sunday, December 11th, 2005
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.; Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq; Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.; Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt.
LATE EDITION (CNN) : Khalilzad; Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
Speaking of Laura; if I were head of CBS I would install Laura Ingraham as nightly anchor with a contract stating the job is hers as long as she remains atop the evening news ratings. Once her numbers drop for a week or so, then she is gone.
I think she would have that job for a very, very long time.
Biden: Some Democrats think it's the bottom of the ninth inning and some it's the bottom of the eighth. Biden's one who thinks it's the bottom of the eighth...
...and therefore it's 4th and 1, with a chance to make 1 out of 2 with no time remaining for a service break on the 18th hole.
I have not hear what it is like now, but that was in the plan.

I think there were some people that weren't totally convinced that Graham was an idiot when he signed onto the 14 Dwarfs...but, I hope they are NOW!!!
Thank you, Fawn, for posting this.
An e-mail has been sent.
Some days I think that Tony Snow is right and we ARE the stupid party.
I do not understand why Republicans aren't talking about WMD being sent to Syria before 3/03. We have satellite photos and credible intelligence that suggests this.
I do not understand why Republicans aren't talking about the relationship that Al Qaeda had with Saddam going back to the 90's. This is provable.
Take away those two arguments from the Democrats and they will have NOTHING left to argue regarding the war that sounds remotely credible.
Yeah, yeah.... Saw that before. LOL
I don't understand it either. Soooo frustrating...
The information is out there for all to read
Hell .. we read it all .. why can't the Republicans in Congress do their job and read it too
This is NOT the WH's fault
It's Congress' fault - they are adults .. they should start acting like it
The people we are fighting in Iraq are the same people who were responsible for 9/11, the bombing of our embassies in East Africa, the USS Cole, WTC I, Madrid, London, Bali, etc. I wonder why Murtha isn't calling for withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Like we are trying to push McCain, Hagel & Grahams, they are trying to push Liberman. Difference is, media is helping them so that not one dem.is in support of WOT.
"I just do NOT understand why the administration isn't prepping these guys"
The President has his hands full with the WOT, National Security, keeping the economy perking, etc.
The RNC is the place for statement cohesion, talking points, practice & preparation, IMHO.
I never thought that a few housewives on FR (us) could defend the administration's rationale for war better than the administration or Republican Congressmen.
I'm becoming a DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE!
We are not a stupid party
We just have a few in the party that are stupid
Was Biden suggesting that, among the unspecified other powers that we need to bring in to the process in Iraq, is Iran? He was complaining the US Ambassador to Iraq, whom he refers to familiarly as Kal, not being allowed to speak to Iran until recently. I think that's what I heard.
Oh, I agree completely that Congress is in a better position to defend the president and the war. But since they aren't doing it, the administration figured out a few weeks ago that they will have to be the ones doing it.
I certainly hope that Rove is calling some of these Republicans and taking them to task. Or holding seminars and giving them talking points.
No amount of training is going to change him, nor will it change McCain. They are busy "triangulating" in order to appeal to moderates of both parties.
How come we never see Inhofe on television, except on Fox, and then only rarely? Answer: Inhofe argues the facts and won't stab the President in the back.
Graham accomplished exactly what he set out to do.
Murtha, the man who advised slick willie to cut and run from Somalia when our Rangers were murdered.
Russert read a letter that Graham wrote a few years ago about the linkage between Iraq and Al Qaeda. When Russert asked, do you still believe that, Lindsey said that obviously he was wrong.
I'm not so certain that Lindsey did what he set out to do. I think he hasn't done his homework and has been brainwashed into believing there was no pre-existing relationship. Even the administration doesn't talk about a pre-existing relationship, which is quite surprising.
