The Talk Shows
Sunday, January 14th, 2007
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Vice President Dick Cheney.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): National security adviser Stephen Hadley; Sens. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Barack Obama, D-Ill.
THIS WEEK (ABC): National security adviser Stephen Hadley; Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.; California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
LATE EDITION (CNN) : Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari; Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John Kerry, D-Mass.; Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz; retired Gen. Richard Myers, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
It's hard to run for President AND show up for your regular tax-payer funded job. Just ask John Kerry.
Bayh was ok in the first term. Then he lost all crediblity when he cast NO votes against Rice, Patriot Act and everything else on NSA & judges.... list goes on. Kossacks won't let him for VP ticket if you read their comments.
"The average citizens in Iraq want jobs, electricity, and streets where their children can play without fear; and there is certainly more of this than a glance over the newspapers would portray.
Russert will be in danger of whiplash as he rapidly goes from hunch-over glare to Kyle and Lieberman, to upright beaming to Hagel and Dodd.
Anita, that news about Hagel has to be the best of the day, glad to hear it.
OOOoooooo!
I can't wait! So psyched. and with our 24 Live thread...sheer insanity and relief from the real world where everytime we get near the bad guys...a politician says," Cut!!!".."Redo that scene!"
You should address that to Anita, not me. :-)
And a freeper kindly sent me some hazelnut coffee my favourite which I got hooked on when I visited the States in 1997
Does Russert EVER read anything besides the New York Times and the Washington Post? I'd keel over if he ever quoted from any other sources.
Right snugs, even Newsweek International reported that Iraq economy is booming (than under Saddam), only that they don't want to report ANY of that on TV.
AWWW....sorry Anita, I meant to ping you with that post....haven't had my coffee yet this morning....BTW to the weather-interested, it's a balmy 25 degrees in Phoenix this morning ;)
37 with rain now. The prediction is for freezing rain later this afternoon.
Re: #44....great visual and penetrating insight into Russert's MO. LOL
Surge, by itself, would not work without other factors being involved. My understanding is President Bush & Co have other factors in our favor, such as increased Iraqi military and commitments by Iraq to follow up and maintain the peace.
Not everyone wants to admit it but we have already won the war in Iraq. Remember the banner "Mission Accomplished?" I believe that was right on the money because we did accomplish the mission. However, we got sidetracked over that and the "no WMD's" bull. We got defensive about winning and the WMD's, and that hurt our resolve. Anyway, the reconstruction, or winning the peace, in Iraq is what is problematic today. Either Iraq steps up in resolve to finish the job or they don't.
NYTimes is one of the ad.sponsors of his MTP. Conflict? No, that is only for others.
Cheney's on FNS now ;-)
I had to laugh how the Boston Globe constantly attacked Mitt Romney because they argued he was more focused on running for President than being their governor. They didn't seem to mind Kerry skipping out on his senatorial duties while actually running for the oval office.
This sunday's Media Nuggets
