Fox News Sunday (Chris Wallace)

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:
- None of the easily caricatured conservatives are catching on and derailing Rudy - quick, call central casting!
- No matter how lunatic the Democrat leadership is, there are always bigger moonbats to be found in their party
Topics:
- Have staunch conservatives found their presidential candidate?
- Iraq war:
  - Opposition to the Iraq war growing in Congress
  - Some liberal members are upset not only with the president, but their own leaders for not doing enough to end the war and bring the troops home
- Fox News Sunday panel
  - The impact the Libby verdict will have on the White House
  - The latest on the Iraq debate on Capitol Hill
- Fox News essay: Coming up on Fox News Sunday
