The Sunday Show Preview

By: Mark Kilmer · Section: Other Politics

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.
