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

1st!

[anita]

Very good snub at Russert by Cheney, for not holding Gregory to account. Losing to CBS is even worse for Russert that no amount of make-up could make it up.

[Alas Babylon!]

First of all, let's hear it for last week's winners!

[Dane]

I see murtha(D-al queda) gets his facetime with Timmy.

[mainepatsfan]

With the exception of Cheney what a weak lineup this morning.

[MNJohnnie]

Amazing CBS is the only show worth watching today! All the rest booked rabid Bush haters or failed FORMER something or others. Chalibi? Zbigniew Brzezinski? You have GOT to be kidding me. And not ONE word about the significance of the Iraq-Afganistan docs released this week. Pathetic. Be surprised if we get to 500 posts today.

[Sybeck1]

Only one conservative on all the shows?

[KenmcG414]

All in all....it looks as another "Bash Bush all the time"...as not too many watch "Slay the Nation".

[Gritty]

The only thing worth watching here is Dick Cheney.

Sunday Morning Talk Shows have made themselves so-o-o yesterday they may as well do them on Saturday morning along with the Cartoon Parade...

[carlr]

I think that letting Durbin and Murtha have the show is probably a good thing.

Durbin is so leftist and bitter it will be hard for him to control his anti-Americain views.Perhaps more "gulag" type comments.

As for that babbling fool Murtha,any time talking to him will further reveal what a light weight the libs hung their hat on.

[mathluv]

Why, oh Why!!! FNS has the turbin on - no pubbie reply? That is normally the only show I watch. Since I am an hour later than some on here, I will watch for and read their comments on whether it is a waste of time.

[FreedomNeocon]

I'm SHOCKED Hoekstra wasn't invited to be a guest talking about the Saddam docs. /sarc

[Pusterfuss]

Thanks AB. Looks like a good day to read, not watch.

[FreedomNeocon]

I see Luger is the ONLY Republican on today.

Thats twice I'm astounded today.

[McGavin999]

One guest on FOX and it's a democrat? I think FOX needs to get a new booker.

[beyond the sea]

FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.

****

With these two.......... I am reminded of my main man, Thomas Sowell who recently said:

There will never be a shortage of ignorant audacity."

[Chuck54]

Call me the resident pessimist but I think Chris Wallace will be more in line with his dad in the questioning of Durbin than in line with, say, a Brit Hume type would. Watch and see if he asks tough follow-ups or just lobs another softball right into Dick's wheelhouse.

I hope I am proven wrong with FNC but to have Durbin wihout a rebuttal guest is a bit much for this watcher. I think I'll just read this thread instead.

[Carolinamom]

"Incompetent" seems to be the DNC word du jour. To while away the time and provide some levity and leveling blood pressures, I suggest we count the number of times Durbin/Murtha use it.

[TomGuy]

Shouldn't the MTP description be posted with a towel alert. I'm betting Timmy will bring out the sympathy wagon for Murtha.
