The most interesting guests to me will be the possible confrontations between Specter and Gilchrist (FNS) and DeLay and Dean (ABCTW). I have a feeling one or both shows will wimp out and let the Dem/RINO appear separately and have the last word. I also find it interesting that CBSFTN feels it necessary to start the rehabilitation of John McCain already.
The dominant meme appears to be that the preliminaries are over and the battle between the GOP and dims is well and truly joined. Bush may not be over, thanks to his finally listening to the talking heads and shaking up his administration, but it's probably too little too late since he didn't fire Rumsfeld and Cheney shaking up his administration only proves that he's doomed. And since Iraq seems to be going better let's totally ignore what goes on there (unless it hurts Bush).
Thanks as always for the ping. Your efforts are most appreciated.

Now if I can just pull a Braves victory out of this game with the Mets my night is complete.
Going to the 12th tied.
Why is John K on abc? Is he going to lose his gig on Fox?
Who's on the Sunday Morning Talk Shows (lineup)
By: Mark Kilmer · Section: Other Politics
For Sunday, May 7, 2006Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert has an EXCLUSIVE! Call the kids! Call gramps! (IF you are either a kid or a gramps, alert another kid or gramps!) Russert's guest will be House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California)!
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace will talk to Pete Hoekstra (R-Michigan) on Porter Goss' resignation. Then he'll talk to Arlen Specter and Joe Biden.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer to yacks it up with John McCain.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to Tom DeLay and Howard
SternDean, the magic man of the DNC.Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer will talk to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts of Kansas and House Intelligence ranking Dem Jane Harman of California about Porter Goss. He'll also talk to HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt, perhaps about bird flu, and his usual cast of thousands.
------Well, we've got McCain (FTN) and Joe Biden (FNS) this week, with Snarlin' Arlen also making an appearance on the air (FNS, with Joe Biden).
MTP will be interesting to monitor because Pelosi will struggle to stick to the script. She tends to freelance, saying some of the funkiest things in politics.
It'll be interesting to see if Harman (LE) is still nuts. I wonder what the Hammer has to say (TW), and Howard Dean isn't funny anymore. The joke is too old.

The FNS web site still list Specter and Gilchrist and does not mention Biden. Are they bumping Gilchrist and putting on Biden as "balance" for Specter? That would be totally bizarre.
Thank you!
