The Sunday Talk Shows

Sunday talk show tip sheet

This Sunday brings the political equivalent of dueling banjos on the morning talk shows as Karl Rove does a farewell press tour across the networks, while the Democratic presidential hopefuls battle it out on a live, 90-minute debate on ABC’s “This Week.”

Rove, who is stepping down at the end of the month as President Bush’s chief political guru, headlines NBC’s “Meet the Press,” CBS’s “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday.”

CNN’s “Late Edition” leads with a congressional debate over the war in Iraq between Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. (D-Pa.).

C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” interview is with Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-Minn.), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. He’ll face questions on the bridge collapse in his home state from reporters Kevin Diaz of the Minneapolis Star Tribune and John Hughes of Bloomberg.

Not much going on except the debate. Looks like much of it will be free airtime for a Karl Rove infomercial.

1. Casey just returned with Durbin from Iraq

Bet he has something to say about that wonderful surge we all have been hearing about. Don't have cable so will watch on Crooks and Liars when available.

2. This alleged debate sucks

Each and every candidate has some good and some not so good. I've even heard a rumor that Kucinich and Gravel are pretty good guys as well. But you'd never know it by watching this thing. I'm getting tired of all the Clinton/Obama/Edwards all the time stuff. They are showing some Richardson and Biden sometimes though. Not a lot, but some.
