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.
(Gilchrist is) bumped for Biden, but he evidently has been. I think Wallace was faced with time constraints and opted to drop immigration, an issue for the past umpteen weeks anyway, for something fresher.
Of course, Gilchrist might have cancelled.
So, scratch immigration and switch in Porter Goss for that issue. Might that decision have anything to do with the fact that the polls are overwhelmingly going against the MSM "conventional wisdom" on (illegal) immigration?
