Fox News Sunday (Chris Wallace)

Below are the topics and guests announced for this program, along with my take on the "memes" that the show is trying to push.  With each guest's name are a series of links that I found in a web search that helped me get a handle on who they are and what their likely positions will be when they are interviewed.

• Meme:
  • It's finally the political season - will you now pay attention to what we tell you and vote the evil Republicans out?
  • The Republicans are so doomed!
  • Snarlin' Arlen's in charge - get out of the way of his ego, it is truly immense!
• Topics:
  • With less than 10 weeks until the November midterm elections and the Republican congressional majorities at stake, we will take a closer look at the impact of the war in Iraq and domestic issues with key Senate leaders.
  • The Bush administration unleashed a new rhetorical offensive this week to win back public support for the war on terrorism, likening the nation's current enemies to fascists and Nazis, but will it be enough to stem growing public opposition to the war effort in Iraq? With increasing indications that public displeasure with Bush administration and Republican policies may lead to a Democratic Senate takeover in November, what can the GOP do to hold on to its majority and what do Democrats have to do to maintain the momentum?
  • As legislators get set to return to work from Congressional recess this week, we will take a look at immigration and the President's federal judicial appointments, two issues that will likely top the Senate's agenda. Will the House and Senate be able to forge a compromise on immigration legislation before the November elections and what chances do the latest Bush federal court appointments have of passing through the Senate?

Ping

The Weekend Preview Thread is up

If you would like on or off my ping list please Freepmail me

See the initial post for my "usual witty commentary"

The big deal this week is that it's officially campaign season, so pay attention to the talking heads!  They know what you should think and how you should vote, if only you'll listen to them.

And, notice, not one word about the Wilson / Plame-out fraud from the DBM.

[Bahbah]

Phsstpok!!!! Good evening. I see my homework has arrived. I hope you are doing well.

[A.Hun]

Thanks Phsstpok. Lots of great info!

[Phsstpok]

I'll know tomorrow. I see my surgeon at 9. I expect (actually I hope) that we will schedule the transplant then. It's not something I want to do, but it is something I feel I need to do, so I want to get it over with so that I can get back to my life. I had about 6 months taken out of my life to fully deal with the last transplant four years ago (which is better than the previous ones in 1990 and 1980). I had a month early this year dealing with cataract surgery and now this. I wanna get this over with so I can get on with the rest of my life.

Now that I've vented... how are you? <g>

[Txsleuth]

Hi friend!!!

How are you doing??? I worry every week when I see you put up your thread..that you have done serious harm to your eyesight.

BUT, that doesn't stop me from LOVING your thread..thank you once again for all you do.

[Bahbah]

You go right ahead and vent. I'm just fine.

[Txsleuth]

Well, my goodness, they have only had a WEEK to get guests all lined up to discuss how the DEMS trap that they set up to catch Rove BLEW UP in their faces, what do you expect??


BTW...Fox finally got around to talking about it for ONE of their panel segments tonight...sigh

[Phsstpok]

Thank you kindly, and especially for the kind words on the Mark Levin thread. I ain't one to blush but....

As I said to Bahbah, I'll know more about my immediate prospects come tomorrow's meeting with my surgeon. I took today off from work, so I was able to put this together in little bits and pieces. In fact, thanks to the major networks in the DBM I was actually able to start on Thursday! Could it be that we're having an effect on their web posting habits?

Notice the post time on the Townhall blog (before noon Central time) versus the post time on the thread. I took out my lens and took a good rest before posting the thread.

I'm being good... really.

Again, thank you for the kind words and the concern. Your participating here means a lot to me.

[Txsleuth]

Well...you rest, and please let us know what happens with the doctor tomorrow.

I am not talented enough to post a thread like yours...but, I can spread the link to your thread at my little pitstops around FR!! LOL

[Morgan in Denver]

I've seen bad lineups on FNS before but this one seems worse than any of them. I'll probably still watch but I'm prepared to be bored for an hour. Heck, maybe I'll go watch the grass grow instead......

[old_sage_says]

If you watch Timmy Boy Russert's show on CNBC, be sure to watch and listen to the story Whitey Herzog tells on Yogi and the streaker. You will laugh. So funny.

[Txsleuth]

BTTT

[rodguy911]

Great stuff phsstpok looks like a little better lineup this week than last, although stil a lot of the same ol faces.
I wonder if anyone will bring up that we have all but caught up to the rats for the up coming election,within 2 points of the like ability factor now, I doubt it! Also another really neat factoid, I heard, on Rush i believe, murhtha is now beatable! Trouble is the msm will not do any polls up there what a surprise!!

One last one, Rush obviously is picking and choosing big time off FR! I heard numerous references last week on one of his best weeks ever. Same with Ingraham, she almost direct quoted us, and I am sure the other do as well.

[rodguy911]

Everyone on FR is pulling for you phsstpok, with encouragement like that everything has to go well.
