John Cornyn, Texas Republican; Republican pollster Bill McInturff; Democratic pollster Peter Hart; Linda Douglass, communications director for the White House’s Health Reform Office; Ed Gillespie, former Bush White House counselor.
Just wait 'til the Market (inevitably) turns down again!
So the point of Gen. Jones being all over the place is to get Clinton’s name in the news, in the public eye.
Jones’ job is to say how wonderful “former president Clinton” (he keeps saying that over and over) is.
Where is Hillary in the line of succession again?
Perhaps the National Security Adviser is the “duty” Admin official who was tasked with staying in DC while the rest of Obama’s Cabinet and staff go on vacation.
I was just trying to remember that.
After Nancy P.
Fourth, I think.
HRC is fourth in line.
But that’ll be a piece of cake.
Those top 3 better increase their security. hellary wants back in the WH, and that may be the only way she gets there.
Here is what is going on with MTP, I think.
The wh and David and his producer chat. The wh says what messages they want to get out. They decide on who the messenger will be and what questions Gregory will ask to advance the message.
The only reason to watch this is to find out what smoke and mirrors they want to throw at us this week.
Good morning. Just having breakfast...
Yes, I wondered about having him and the NSA on. Probably about North Korea?
Anyway, sometimes you can tell an awful lot about the driveby media’s memes by what they avoid as much as by what they cover.
So, color me “surprised” that only CNN seems to cover the town halls, Obama’s snitch network, and the health care bill.
Or Bubba Does North Korea?
Yeah, I totally dissed ‘Sheetz’! Would Justice Roberts have to go to the Nursing Home to swear him in? Nevermind, Hillary would be in the Home’s lounge waiting for her turn.
David Gregory puts on his theraputic Oprah voice to thank Bloomberg for being brave and strong enough to come in and be on teevee after the terrible, awful day that New York “suffered” (a favorite word of the left) yesterday.
How ridiculous is that!!
“The wh and David and his producer chat. The wh says what messages they want to get out. They decide on who the messenger will be and what questions Gregory will ask to advance the message.

I agree with you 100%.
I remember when Russert nearly got on his knees asking BHO over and over again if he was gonna run for president. To me, that Sunday show set the tone for NBC’s complete and utter political love affair with “the Won”. NBC news is a sham is not ashamed to be in the tank with BHO and all his lousy, lowlife, liberal losers in the wh.
Don’t forget George Stephenopolous talks every morning with Carville, Podesta and Emmanuel.
I’m sure they never discuss what George is going to cover on his Sunday show, no? /s
CNN’s Sunday guests (at least one per Sunday) have consistently been more pertinent to genuine ‘news’ issues for as long as you have been posting this Sunday line-up. Since I don’t like the CNN presenters or the studio style or the bias, I rarely watch it, but I do look at their guest list for their opinion of what is truly important.
I don’t know which parts of their Sunday morning show go on their international programming, but perhaps their desire to interview an actual newsmaker has to do with the worldwide audience.
