Weekend Talk Show *Preview* for 7/1 and 7/2/06 (not the live thread)

Weekend Talk Show *Preview* for 7/1 and 7/2/06 (not the live thread)

The main message is the Sunday Shows.  Message 1 will be the Saturday Shows and message 2 will be the show guest links post.  Then I'll post the ping list.

ABC This Week (George Stephanopoulos)

CBS Face The Nation (Bob Schieffer)

CNN Late Edition (Wolf Blitzer)

CNN's "Reliable Sources" (Howard Kurtz)

Fox News Sunday (Chris Wallace)

NBC Meet The Press (Tim Russert)

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. For example,

Unless I missed it, I think it's interesting that Tim Russert hasn't invited Tony Snow.

I don't have any direct knowledge, but in the run up to Murtha's exclusive (meaning unchallenged) time on MTP one of the regulars (I'm sorry I forget who) posted that Tony had been turning Russert down, while accepting most of the other invites.  They indicated that the Murtha (and then Feingold?) demorat only shows were Russert getting back at the White House for snubbing him.

Again, no direct knowledge, but we don't know for sure who is dissing who here.

Give 'em hell Tony! (always with a smile and a laugh)

Excellent post!

So, as usual, the Junk Media has it all wrong. The stupid Leftist on the SC have trapped their terrorist buddies in Legal Limbo. They cannot be tried by Military Tribunals, they cannot be tried in US Courts and we can hold them " until the end of hostilities". The SC ACTUALLY made their situation WORSE. The can now be prisoners forever.

couple that with what Warner is saying:

Warner Is Uncertain on Legislation for Tribunals

and these jihadi's are not going anywhere for quite some time.  Watch for the rhetoric to be ratcheted up about closing Gitmo now and how "cruel and unusual" it is not to give them a "fair trial."  OK, you're kangaroo Supreme's have said they must be treated as Prisoners of War under the Geneva Conventions?  Since when do POWs get trials while combat is still ongoing?  I know!  There's one, and only one, circumstance for trying POWs during a conflict under the Geneva Conventions.  That's when they are caught out of uniform, without wearing markings of association and rank.  Then they can be tried by Courts Martial and executed as spies.

Well, I guess we've got our solution! 

Stupid leftist Supremes.  They defied logic, defied the White House, defied the Congress and they spat on the Constitution.  Bottom line, in doing this they are spitting on us and claiming that they are the ultimate power on this planet.  Well, to misappropriate a phrase or two, they should not be so proud of the judicial reign of terror they've created.  It is as nothing next to the power of the people, once enraged.

The really amusing thing is the Stupid Left is so hysteric about "Beating Bush" they have NO clue just how utterly stupid and counter productive the Courts actions were!

This goes along with MiD's post #57 from last weeks Sunday thread about having the shows dominated by the extreme left.  The more we let them talk (and act, as here) the deeper the hole is they dig for themselves and the more engaged and focused we are.

I'm still predicting we get a six to twelve seat pick up in the House and one to three seat pickup in the Senate.  But if they keep talking and acting like this we'll have majorities so large we can even afford to marginalize the RINOs for Bush's final two years.  Wouldn't that be nice?

From you mouth to God's ear! Would it not be nice to reduce Specter, McInsane and the rest of the whiny "Moderates", along with their Left Democrat allies, to total political impotence? Well I can dream can I not?

Well I can dream can I not?

You inspired me to do a little searching.  How are these thoughts for ya...

Zadok Rabinwitz: Dream Quotes
A man's dreams are an index to his greatness.

Antoine De Saint-Exupery: Dream Quotes
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

T. E. Lawrence: Dream Quotes
All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

James G. Huneker: Dream Quotes
All men of action are dreamers.

Orison Swett Marden: Dream Quotes
All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

Walt Disney: Dream Quotes
All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them.

And from a different source:

George Bernard Shaw, Back to Methuselah
Some men see things as they are and say why... I dream of things that never were and say why not.

Here, we dream it, then we do what we can to make it so.  Today, with this medium, we have a chance to make this so.  Diane Irey defeating Jack Murtha is one dream that has a very good chance, it seems to me, of coming true, despite the "conventional wisdom" of only a few weeks ago.  We must look at every race in every state and dare to dream, then decide what it will take to make it so.

One more quote, from one of our own, so to speak:

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
Ben Stein

Love your post with the quotes about dreams...

The very last one, by Ben Stein, hits home with me.

I am over 50, and still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up...sigh.

Thanks for that information, Phsstpok. I hope in the future Tony accepts and shows Russert to be the partisan reporter that he is.

Mark Kilmer's preview is up at Redstate and his own blog site

The Sunday Show Preview


For Sunday, June 18, 2006

  Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert will have Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer on to discuss the usual stuff and, in words from the MTP web site, "the Supreme Court's rebuke of Bush's use of military tribunals."

FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace talks to Lindsey Graham and Jack Reed about the Hamdan decision, then to NASA Administrator Michael Griffin about the future of government space flight.

Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer will chat with Arlen Specter and Carl Levin about the Hamdan decision, and he'll chat with New York Times editor/agent Bill Keller about his paper's penchant for providing defense secrets to America's enemies.

This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos interviews John McCain about John McCain, the Hamdan case, torture at Gitmo, and John McCain.

Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer will chat with Peter King and Barney Frank, Saeb Erakat and Shimon Peres (probably not at the same time), and Tony Orlando. Yes, Tony Orlando, tying a yellow ribbon for the prisoners at Gitmo. It has been a long time for their sweethearts, and the question remains: "Do you still want me jihadding?"

In all fairness, I do not know why Tony Orlando will be on Late Edition.
-----

I've noted that Jack Reed, the Rhode Island Dem, is becoming a frequent face on these shows. He has been in Iowa a lot recently, using his wife's family as a cover, but we could be looking at a nascent Jack Reed for President movement. Who'd have thunk it? Certainly not anyone sane.

Specter and Levin deserve each other, but Specter mouthing off is our best shot at news out of these shows.

The Times' Keller will be appearing on Dan Rather's former network, where had he chosen, the erstwhile anchor could be sitting quietly with an office and a secretary. Perhaps Keller could borrow a few excuses.

 a smackdown is contained in this summaruy...

This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos interviews John McCain about John McCain, the Hamdan case, torture at Gitmo, and John McCain.

The left? Let's just call it like it is. Our internel war is with both old media, who are over the edge, and Democrats who have stolen their party from normal Democrats who may be liberal but are not un-American and don't hate the USA.

Besides losing advertisers and readers, in Denver we are now seeing letters to the editor castigating them for purchasing and reprinting NY Times articles and opinion.

I think it's great news that local newspaper readers are against using the NY Times as a source for news or information.

The stupid remark about the SC decision validating US values.

It's hard to believe some of the stuff the slimes is doing! They have to be countered and soon. My guess is if they are, they will fold like the cheap suit that they really are.

I think they are crazy like a drunken fox.I see the Slimes and maybe w few other drunken drivers- by indulging in arrogance gone wild.

These papers truly believe they are above reproach and can virtually get away with anything. And if criticized they attack the prosecutor with a vengeance that few have seen.

They definitely need to be taken down a notch or two.

Like you, I have always liked Fred Thompson. I'll wait before screaming to find out his reasoning.
