As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

Please check out Phsstpok’s EXCELLENT Sunday Talk Show PRE-Thread. It’s a great way to hear analysis on why the DBM picks the guests, what they’ll probably discuss, and other pertinent facts. Also, check out his blog!

So on Meet The Press, the media will interview themselves and cut out the middle-man. How convenient. At least it provides all the regular suspects a chance to go back to the districts or states that elected them and see if they can remember how to get around town.

I hope Feingold and Newt are on together. That could actually be good.

[Raycpa]

Let me guess

Arlen Spector will lead the charge for impeaching Bush’s SC justices.

Thanks, AB & Good Morning to EveryOne!

As usual, Wallace chose guests who are making attacks to get on sunday shows.

Pathetic. Gingrich called Republican candidates - bunch of pigmies. He 's angry that except FOX, MSM ignores him.

Sen. Russ Feingold? - We say Bring it on!.

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Dan Balz and Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post; Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd of NBC News; Ron Brownstein of the Los Angeles Times and John Harwood of CNBC.

Ah! Another balanced lineup!

[Chuck54]

With this line-up many will lurk on FR and not watch.

I keep thinking the guests will improve with some real balance.

Silly me.

[MNJohnnie]

Oh wow is Meet the Insane a complete waste of time today.

Summer doldrums. Wonder what they are going to do for guests when Congress goes on it’s 6 weeks vacation starting next week.

I never watch these programs though I routinely look to see who's to be on them. The main reason is this: Most of these people merely spout off the usual, predictable, tired, boring, propaganda blather, and it is mind-numbingly boring.

Newt Gingrich is an exception. Maybe I'll watch him. His opinions are original, intelligent, and informed. As a Freeper observed yesterday: If only he didn't keep shooting himself in the foot.

[Bernard]

An anniversary - Friday was the 54th anniversary of the signing of the Truce that ended shooting in Korea.. Shortly after that, the US drew down to 35,000 troops in South Korea. The reason we kept troops there was mostly because of North Korea.

Today, 55 YEARS LATER, the US has about 35,000 troops stationed in South Korea, mostly because of North Korea. Puts a perspective on what happens when the shooting finally stops in Iraq, mostly because of Iran.

Zalmay Khalilzad, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations

He's the US ambassador to Iraq, not the UN.

One thing I got from FOX this AM was the positive and calming presence of Britt Hume. Watching Newt in his self appointed, or anointed, senior adviser role giving Gonzalez to the RATS because they have successfully, in the eyes of Newt, emasculated him, made me livid. If Gonzales left his AG position, there would be no AG, only an acting AG, until after the 2008 elections. Gonzales is holding the fort and catching the RAT spears so others in the Bush administration can get on with their jobs. He only has to hold out a relatively few more months and has the satisfaction that he is keeping the RATS in a perpetual tizzy. Russ Fiengold repeated the mantra started last week by Reid that Bush was the worst president in all of US history. He added to that proclamation by saying this was the worst run presidency in US history. We can expect to hear versions of that theme until the RATS call a news conference to announce their latest earth shattering grievance with the Bush administration. I won’t even talk about Juan. I really like him but like Mara, he is getting more RAT partisan as the campaigns heat up. I end with being grateful that Brit is still sane.

Hello from the Threat Matrix @ FreeRepublic.com.
(http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=threatmatrix )

I was going to point to several posts and articles this week, but
the list grew too long.

Needless to say, the jihadis are verbose anti-Americans who hate
us. It’s that simple.

Anyway, if you get a chance this week, drop by the July issue of
The Threat Matrix and look around.

(http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1859319/posts )

Until next week, God bless you all.
