Below are the topics and guests announced for these programs, along with my take on the "memes" that the shows are 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.

See the initial post for my "usual witty commentary"
It's week five of the drive by media campaign to win back power in Washington for those who truly deserve it (in their minds), the Dhimmicrats. This week the attention shifts away from President Bush, because their lame but continuous attacks were beginning to work for him. Instead they are starting to point out to the ignorant boobs out there that the Republicans are really the party of homo values, kiddie porn, dirty talk and probably worse things, like drugs or even (horrors) rock and roll! They fully expect all right thinking conservatives (particularly those really stupid ones, you know, the Christians) to run away screaming and never support a Republican again.
<snip>
So, what's the bottom line this week? This is a week of frantic spin where the DBM and the Dhimmicrats try to frame yet another new "winning argument" to replace their latest "losing argument" (number 974). Watch for lots of declarations of victory for the forces of Soros that ring increasingly hollow. The question at this point is how desperate will they be to shut down the investigation if it dares to look at "what the Dhimmicrats knew and when they knew it." Several senior members of the moonbat left may be seriously at risk over this whole Foley affair.
Woo hoo! All I have to do to get my post up on Friday night is to take the day off on Friday! Wait a minute, that's not a viable solution...!
Anyway, have at it and sleep well in the knowledge that the terror that is Phsstpok isn't responsible for the Sunday awards until sometime in December!!!!!!

The Sunday Morning Talkshows - lineup
By Mark Kilmer
For Sunday, October 8, 2006
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert has another face-off, this one between Senator Jim Talent (R-Missouri) and Democrat Claire McCaskill. And then, Bob Woodward will on to hawk his little novel, the one which is now ignored, in the wake of Mark Foley's shenanigans, but is falling apart by the day.
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace speaks to Representative Jack Kingson (R-New York) about the "page scandal." Then he speaks with radio talker Laura Ingraham, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, and David Bossie, president of Citizens United. They're covering their conservative bases after two-weeks of Clinton (Bill) Nonstop.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer talks pages with two Republicans: Tom Davis of Virginia and Ray LaHood of Illinois.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to NRSC chair Tom Reynolds (R-New York) and DCCC boss and former Clinton (Bill) staffer Rahm Emmanuel (D-Ill) about the "Foley fallout" and the prospects for a Dem triumph this November.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer interviews Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, John Cornyn and Joe Biden, a bunch of reporters -- including two hawking a book -- and, of all people, Pat Buchanan, He's also pushing a book.
--------Going into this, we have to cut these guys some slack. We've put a lot of pixels to the bit with Foley and the pages, but the Sunday morning talkers are playing catchup. They ignored it last week, but now the Dems have had time to lock, load, and aim at Speaker Hastert. The paucity of Dem guests is surprising, Rahm, on Steph's show, is the elections guy who, having worked for Clinton (Bill), won't have a lot of latitude to talk about sex scandals. Joe Biden, on CNN, wants to talk about other things. It's terrible, he's above it, it's trivial: "Look, Wolf..."
If you know of anyone liveblogging Talent vs. McCaskill, let me know and I'll link.
As always, (Phsstpok) has his entertaining talkshow preview up at Free Republic.
I'll have the complete review here at RedState early tomorrow afternoon.
