NBC Meet The Press (Tim Russert)
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:
- All bow down (or bend over, as the case may be) der Übermensch, our rightful lords and masters, are back in control of the government!
- Bush is wrong, Bush is wrong, Lord God Almighty, Bush is wrong.
- It's over, the (evil) US lost in Iraq. Give it up. Run away. Frag your officers. All the things that were so much fun in Vietnam.
- Topics:
- A new Congress convened in Washington this week -- with Democrats in control.
- How will they affect our policy on Iraq?
- How will the race for the White House shape the debate over the war?
- How would a surge in U.S. troop levels change the situation on the ground?

Joe Biden and Lindsay Graham, how utterly boring and revolting! A rino and a hair transplant candidate that is so utterly predictable you don't even have to watch to know how much he will bash everything GW had ever done in his lifetime.
