This is NOT intended to be the live Sunday Morning Talk Show thread. I trust AB will do that as usual. This is strictly a preview of who will be on the main shows. The idea is to give folks a chance to muster their resources for that thread. I would particularly ask that anyone with specific knowledge or resources about the topics / guests announced for these shows post them here so that the rest of us can go into the shows with a heads up on what to look for.
TOPICS: News/Current Events; Politics/Elections

PingThe Weekend Preview Thread is up
If you would like on or off my ping list please Freepmail me
The most interesting guest to me is Dick Cheney. How badly will they edit the interview?
The dominant meme appears to be that Bush the GOP is so over, let's look to his their replacement and ignore everything he they says say and do does from now on (unless it hurts Bush). Oh, and we've lost in Iraq, let's go home now.
I will probably be light on this and the Sunday thread. I've gone back to work and have actually had more trouble with my eyes this week, mostly because I'm having problems getting used to the better vision in the left eye. Trying to work on my office computer has been giving me headaches and making me nauseous, but it's gotten a little better each day. Today my brain just gave up trying to mix the vision from the eye with the contact lens (about 20/40) and the eye that had the operation (about 20/80) and I just can't read anything for more than about 10 minutes at a time.
I count on others to carry the load. I shall return!

HELLO>...to one of my favorite Freepers!!!
Did you get your ping...from cgk, who is the keeper of the ping list thread???
I got it tonight...but, I am afraid I may have given him the wrong actual title of what you call your thread..
BUT, I wanted your wonderful new thread to be listed with all of the other regulars...so whenever a freeper, especially a new one, looks as the list..they will see yours.

Added and updated the "SUNDAY TALK SHOW PREVIEW THREAD" to the Master...that's close enough for me, and in fact was the original title the first couple of weeks. I changed it to "Weekend Preview" when I added Journal Editorial Report and Tim Russert's Saturday show on CNBC.
And thankyou for the compliment. I like you too, and appreciate your work, a lot.

To: Miss Marple; Phsstpok
Can you believe that of all of these shows...there is not even ONE true conservative..except Cheney???
The two Republicans, Lugar and Hagel, usually pick these national shows to prove how bi-partisan they are...and bash Bush. And, whenever Lugar appears with Biden..he turns into a lackey for ole Joey.
Fox disappoints me...only DURBIN, no one to dispute his LIES and distortions??
I am sure that Timmy Russert will give Mike Wallace all the prompting and time he needs to start his retirement off with a bang...and bash Bush.
I am with you, MM....the ONLY show on Sunday that I will make sure to see is Face the Nation...

Wow! Add me to your ping list.
Russert's only guest is Murtha?
Did I read that Russert was subpoenaed this week?
To: Phsstpok
I hate to even post to you, because I don't want to hurt you...but, I wanted to tell you how sorry I am that you are having a hard time...with the headaches and nausea.
You really could have begged off this week...we would have understood.
We would of course have totally missed the great work you do...but your health and well-being is much more important.
Please rest those eyes...we need you.

My ears are ringing... and it brought me here.
:D
WOW Nice work! PLEASE add me to your ping list...
And... how about I ALSO add an entry on the Master List called "WEEKEND TALK SHOW PREVIEW" or something similar? You'll be listed twice for the same list, but that will help people find you - and also when people see the Sunday thread, they'll see your preview thread as well :) Sound okay?

Nope, not a thing.
As long as you are okay with the name of your list, we're good to go. If you ever transfer your list to someone else to ping out, just let me know, (if you remember haha), so people know who to go to, to be added or removed.
And thanks for the add! I appreciate it!

Didn't Russert have Murtha on for the whole hour...the first week that Murtha called for an immediate withdrawal of troops...
But, two days after the infamous vote in the House...that even Murtha voted against?

I was sent here by Txsleuth.I had no idea this thread topic existed.
Please add me to the ping list if there's room. You have done yeoman's work pulling all of this together in one place,sir,my hat is off to you.
To: Phsstpok
Dear Phsstpok,
I am so sorry you are having difficulty w your eyes. I hope everything gets better soon. Prayers up for you.
Thank you again for your very hard work putting this thread together. It's sooooo much work for you, and it would be difficult for anyone w no eye problems - - it must be especially difficult given your eyesight right now.
Your efforts and hard work are very much appreciated by many, many FReepers.
We'll miss you on the Sunday thread (I won't be able to stay long, due to other commitments this week), but, please take it easy, take care of yourself and rest your eyes so they can get better and we'll have you on many more future threads.
Best,
SC

To: Phsstpok; All
Yes that is my fear as well on how they will edit the VP's interview.
Also I suspect they will show the most unfavorable shots of him, mid sentence appearing to snarl, that is a given.
I am after a favour as I cannot get Face the Nation could a freeper record it on DVD for me.
Thanks.
