I don't think I can bear to watch any of the shows, unless POTUS is going to be on live?
Probably a taped interview with POTUS and Kerry live after his staff has viewed the POTUS tape and come up with their twisted version of what he said. I'll pass.
Dismal lineup. Except for the Pres., not a decent name to hear/watch in the bunch.

Chris Matthews Sunday Show
Barak Obama Rock Star could be next president, says Chris.
Joe Klein says he's terriffic, the crowds love him. 'What about the coverage he's getting", is Chris' question. Klein says Obama is really smart, but Klein doesn't explain the hype he's getting. He's a Talented politician.
Nora ODonnell answers the question by quoting "there is no red, no blue, there is only United States", Obama said in his convention speech...a powerful speech, she said. Nora says he has a great melting pot story. she says his biggest problem is lack of experience. (Nora isn't dumb, she knows that's not why Obama is getting all this hyped up media attention).
Kitty Kay said America is desperate for unity. "he's ridiculously good looking," Kay says. Later she says, "Obama understands the world"
(Yep, "understands the world", she said it)
Clarence Page says says his wife loves Obama. He says unlike Hillary, Obama carries no baggage. Chris doesn't want to hear Obama is a real African, not an angry African-American. (But Chris, that's why he "understands the world"!!)
It's ALL Chris Matthews stinky spin. No way is the panel going to tell Chris, Obama is getting all this attention from the MSM because they love him, because they want to promote him into a realistic presidential candidate. A book hype over kill in the hope Obama will become significant player. Obama is being created by the MSM as we type!! WHY ELSE WOULD MATTHEWS spend the first 15 minutes of his show drooling over Obama?????
Matthews compares Obama with Tiger, and Oprah. Superstar, he calls him.
Joe Klein said before that famous speech, the democrats were so happy to have a black to speak who wasn't Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.
12 of Chris favorite reporters vote on whether Obama should run in 08
7 say yes, 5 say no.
Chris asks: his panel: " one year from now will Obama be a presidential candidate? His panel ties.
Chris shows the Harold Ford ad in a church.
Demos have to retake values, Ford talks God, says "pray for me", he hands out cards that says "pray for me" at rallies. He wants to be first black senator from south since reconstruction.
How about Webb running against Allen in VA?" Joe Klein says Allen has stabilized since macaca mistake. "we already knew Allen wasn't brightest bulb", Klein says. AND about the Ford/Corker race in TN, Klein repeats that democrats always poll better because white southernern republicans won't tell pollsters they won't vote for a black. (Joe, it's more likely white southern republicans delight in lying to pollsters!!)
WARNING< WARNING Clarence Page equates republicans covering up for Bush like they covered up for Foley. (This has a Rahm Emanuel ring to it, I expect to hear it more than once today.)
Nora and Joe don't think demos can "run the table" to win control. Chris had to draw that prediction out of them.
tell Chris something he doesn't know
Katty Kay says .. ( I missed it, but who cares?)
Clarence Page says John Kerry is getting ready to announce for presidency.
O'Donnell tells Chris, Richard Haas says Bush's iraq plan has no chance of success. Big changes are coming, she says.
Klein says Pelosi actively supporting Murtha over Hoyer for majority. leader.
Chris' last little speech, I'm so smart segment "The 1200 Wall street bell tolls but what about the millions who don't hear it, the "economic strugglers?" Chris says, they hear the democrat promises, so will voters put democrats in office? Chris surely thinks so. Poor voters want an increase in minimum wage, they want healthcare, they want democrats to have supoena powers so Cheeeeny will be investigated for those secret meetings with big corporations. (Well, that's what Chris said, and who knows more about the poor than Chris?)
CNBC's Maria Bartiromo will interview President Bush on Monday during Closing Bell (4 PM ET).
