MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Sens. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. and John McCain, R-Ariz.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.

I missed it...what happened?
I hope they've changed, if they have I will read about it here, cause I'm not watching. Even that tired old panel on Brit's show has reached the point of everyone knowing what they are going to say before they say. That's not what I tune in for.
300,000,000 Americans + assorted "others" and we get the same 10-12 faces/mouths on Sunday TV Talk Shows. Where is the "DIVERSITY"?
Exactly. Looks like Dick Morris knows her well.
Read her announcement -- she is on another one of those "listening" tours! LOL
She "listens" so she doesn't have to answer questions.
How does Mrs. Clinton get away with announcing her candidacy on her website? Is she so very sure that the MSM will do such a good job for her that she no longer feels the need to even show up?
Biden, Levin, McCain, Kennedy, Hagel, Leahy--the only usual suspect missing is Schumer. If you didn't know better, you'd think the entire U.S. Senate was made up of seven blowhards.
No worries whatever about taking Frank Luntz or anybody else in the DBM (Fox included)as seriously as they take themselves.
Couldn't happen.
Funniest thing about calling Biden the intellectual giant of the dims is that it very well be quite accurate. S' just a matter of comparisons, after all, and on a number of subjects I'd class a large flat wet rock as an intellectual superior to most of the dims.
You may use that scale at your leisure to get my candid estimate of Biden.......he's just as guilty of blindly reading from the socialist liturgy du jour as any, but drones the lines enough to sound scholarly.
LOL! Isn't Biden the "dumbest man in the Senate" according to Mark!
Hagel is a leading creepy opportunist.
Yes. And she is probably right.
I don't Like Dick Morris but I respect his insight when he talks about Democrats or the Clinton Klan. He was inside that circle and knows what he's talking about. Morris misses most when he tries to analyze Republicans or President Bush. The only time I've seen him miss on Democrats is when he lets his hatred of Hillary get in the way of rational evaluation.
Yes, and Mark is right, so what does that tell us about Frank Luntz? On the other hand, Unrep Vet may be right and he may be all the intellect the dims have, and that says tons about the dims.
Mrs. C. or Mrs. R-C won't do anything that isn't scripted, tested against a focus group, and memorized.
Otherwise, we would get this: "Well, uh, you know, that uh hmmm I you know hmmm uh have uh decided uhmmm you know uh to announce uh you know hummm my uh candidacy uh ummm for you know uh the presidency uh you know hmmmm of uh the uh United States."
TomGuy probably already knows this but I'll repeat it for this morning. Newsbusters nailed Hillary and her announcement. The tape was either set in a staged backdrop or there are flowers blooming in NY right now. The window behind her clearly shows flowers so there is a question as to when she did the spot. And then, secondly, there was no mention of her Iraqi trip, which surely would have been mentioned had this tape been current.
http://newsbusters.org/node/10266 is the link but there is a FR link too.
All the male anchors were promoting her as the first greatest woman presidential candidate. They have NO idea that we NEVER accept phonies.
Great...a continuous Oprah format is what passes for leadership today.
If Mrs. Clinton has to be told what the issues are and calculate the majority opinion on each of them, she doesn't belong anywhere near the Oval Office.
This world is too complex and too dangerous to encourage a candidate who will add a finger in the wind to the official Presidential seal.
For the record: Greg Kelly is sitting in "Steve Doocey's seat" on F&F this morning.
