This is NOT intended to be the live Sunday Morning Talk Show thread.  I trust AB will do that as usual.  This is strictly a preview of who will be on the main shows.  The idea is to give folks a chance to muster their resources for that thread.

I would particularly ask that anyone with specific knowledge or resources about the topics / guests announced for these shows post them here so that the rest of us can go into the shows with a heads up on what to look for.  For example, do you suppose Wolf will ask Jimmy "hornblower" Carter anything about how the current psycho head of Iran is a creature of his creation brought forth by Carter's totally incompetent handling of the Shah, Khomeni and the eventual hostage crisis?  Twenty five points for anyone who remembers the "hornblower" reference.

Here is a preview of Howie on Fox...

If we don't pass Ethic Reform to stop the Republicans' Culture of Corruption, I will strangle this cat!

Interesting that the Senate Vote on the Alito Nomination is not listed "among the week's top stories"

[MNJohnnie]

Hey Gip, you know about this?

Fox News Sunday (Chris Wallace)

An exclusive interview with Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee Plus, a progress report on the GOP's agenda with Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., and Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind.

[MNJohnnie]

Interesting that the Senate Vote on the Alito Nomination is not listed "among the week's top stories"

Cause they know they lost the filibuster fight already?

Great idea Phsstpol. Looks like a great lineup for a change other then the Worst President in US History being on CNN. Notice they can only find has beens to comment for them on the Mid East Peace process. Maybe because only failed politician's believe in it any more?

[MNJohnnie]

Looks like we will have a GREAT thread tomorrow! GW!

Interesting that the Senate Vote on the Alito Nomination is not listed "among the week's top stories"

I don't see how they can avoid talking about it, at least in the roundtable discussions. But they don't have a chance in hell of hurting Alito so I think they'll push it off as "we'll see when it happens."

The only thing I bet they'll push is some bizarre logic to give cover to those that attempt a filibuster. They'll try to make the case that, no matter how foolish they look, they're really "upholding the great traditions of democracy and the Senate."

Wanna bet one of them will bring up Jimmy Stewart's filibuster in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington?

By the way, there's a web form on the Meet The Press web site:

What would you like to ask this week's Meet the Press guests?
Fill in the form below and send us your question. We look forward to hearing from you.

[Just A Nobody]

including domestic spying,

*sigh* so sick of this crap.

[Phsstpok]

After posting the Meet The Press contact web page I thought I'd go ahead and look up the contact info for the other shows, as well

Fox News Sunday - FNS@foxnews.com
Face The Nation - ftn@cbsnews.com
CNN Late Edition - http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form5.html?21

Why don't we try to come up with some REAL questions for them to ask their guests and for their roundtable? Even if they don't use them they'll know what they should have asked and won't be able to claim ignorance. Who knows, we might actually educate them and give them new insight on a topic or guest.

[Phsstpok]

I'm going to use my own link in the post above yours to the Meet The Press contact page and call them on this.

IT'S NOT DOMESTIC SPYING!!!!!

On your web site preview of this weeks show you include a reference to "domestic spying" as one of the topics you will discuss.

Why not ask why anyone (including you) should be given any credibility on the subject when they refuse to correctly identify the issue? It's NOT domestic spying, it's wartime intercepts of international communications involving terrorists or terrorist suspects which might include one end of a conversation or electronic communication being in the US. And it's legal and constitutional

Why is EVERY show an exclusive ?

[RabidBartender]

Hahaha...I was going to ask if Biden was feeling ill, then I saw him under CNN's list.

[snugs]

Looking forward to it.

[Jack Black]

Thanks, this is very useful. With football season over some of these might even be at a time I can watch them.

ABC is missing. What's up with Stephenopolous?

CBS scored the win this week, they have the President. CNN has two former world leaders, kind of appropriate! Of the two Bhutto might actually be intersting to listen to.

[jslade]

ABC is missing. What's up with Stephenopolous?

J fn Kerry! According to WND.

[Phsstpok]

Kerry was on last week and isn't listed on their web site for this week, but that could be because he's only been added since his unscheduled return from the ski slopes in Davos.

This is Redstate.COMs preview of tomorrow's shows:

For Sunday, January 29, 2006

Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert spends the hour with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee to talk about stuff -- "including domestic spying, the Jack Abramoff scandal, and Hamas' victory in the Palestinian elections." So Tim's down with the misleading "domestic spying" line.

If you want to watch journalists talk to each other, Byron York will be there for their roundtable thing.

FOX News Sunday: Host Chris Wallace talks to Howard Dean. The show redeems itself when Wallace talks to Senator John Thune (R-South Dakota) and House Republican Study Committee Chairman Mike Pence (R-Indiana) about the state of the GOP's agenda.

Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer sits down with George W. Bush, President of the United States.

This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos interviews two Senators who have at times fit in with the mindset of his audience: Chuck Hagel (R-Nebraska) and Barack Obama (D-Illinois).

Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer talks with White House counselor Dan Bartlett and Senators Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) and Joe Biden (D-Delaware). (Biden has just returned from Palestine where he was observing the election of Hamas.)

---

Thune and Pence on FNC could be insightful, and Joe Biden will prove his own facsimile of cognizance regarding whatever is on Blitzer's mind. Obama is doubtlessly going to attack "culture of corruption" in the GOP, and the party will have Chuck Hagel to defend it; but that's Steph's show.

Now where is John McCain?

He's gone missing, but I'll have the review of these shows live here at RedState.com probably a little before 2p ET.

[NeoCaveman]

Mike Pence and Senator Thune, I'll set the tivo for that one.
