As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

[Alas Babylon!]

Please check out Phsstpok’s EXCELLENT Thread. It provides an in-depth analysis of this week’s shows.

[mainepatsfan]

So Russert completely hands his show over to another liberal this week.

From FReeper Snugs’ graphics shop, here are last week's winners:

Good Morning AB~!

thanks for the thread!

[johnny7]

In Russert's mind... America's first, black socialist president.

[cardinal4]

John Kerry-a study in irrational irrelevance..

[mainepatsfan]

The MSM's next candidate after Hillary has her turn.

[eeevil conservative]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw

Saddam on a hunger strike and in the hospital....

I would shed a tear but I am too busy laughing.....

[anita]

Thanks, AB Congrats to the top three & Good Morning to all. I am taking off today (tired from a long trip). I will post my nuggets in a bit and then off.

[mainepatsfan]

What did he skip breakfast AND lunch this time?

[be-baw]

hmmm...the Fox News Sunday web site says that John Bolton and Dennis Hastert will be the guests, while the Meet the Press site says that Josh Bolten and Tom Ricks, author of a book on Iraq called Fiasco will be on.

[small voice in the wilderness]

The MSM Barge has set sail once again. George Allen and Lawrence Eagleburger: two islands surrounded by a sea of Sunday Morning Talk Show oil slicks. The information disaster visited upon us weekly is almost unbearable.

[Carolinamom]

Cindy Sheehan should visit him so she can give him pointers on a rolling fast.

[johnny7]

Obamama & Jean Francois both are just back from a trip to NOLA... both get prime billing on the Sunday talk-shows... guess what for? While the whole middle-east explodes... we get treated to more NOLA Bush-bashing.

I'm 'gonna watch Kerry though... not often you get to see that 1850's-style, bullsh*t oratory anymore.

[DoctorMichael]

Much to the chagrin of the Newt-haters, Newt will be on a 9:30AM on C-Span.

[snugs]

Good morning as always thanks for posting the thread.

[mainepatsfan]

Nice to see the networks have their news priorities straight. /s

[cardinal4]

I'm 'gonna watch Kerry though... not often you get to see that 1850's-style, bullsh*t oratory anymore.

Kerry couldnt rise to that level of discourse if he was sitting next to Dan'l Webster. Despite all of his "look down his nose edumacation", he is a world class socialist dope..

[johnny7]

They're 'networked' alright... straight to DNC Headquarters.

[Alas Babylon!]

I got the lineup from a web site featuring the AP link last night. I do notice that Phsstpok's thread has what you say....

Did I take the correct date? I thought the listing I used was dated July 22nd. It's possible I was in the AP's archives, if so, then these could be last years lineups!

Please, folks, check the actual guests on the shows themselves!

[Morgan in Denver]

Good morning AB and thanks for posting the thread. Congratulations to all the winners too.

Rodguy911 won second place? How did that happen? He's usually SO laid back and reserved.....

[Bulldaddy]

RedState.com also says Bolton and Hastert will be on FNS and Josh Bolten and the Fiasco author on MTP.

[ConservativeGreek]

Kerry..........he is a world class socialist dope..

And Gigolo!

1 : a man supported by a woman usually in return for his attentions

[be-baw]

Best guess, I think, is that they made some late changes.

"This Week" web site said Stephie's show won't be on at all this week because of ABC's coverage of the British Open.

"Face the Nation" site says they'll have Daniel Ayalon Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Dr. Imad Moustapha Syrian Ambassador to the U.S. and David Ignatius of The Washington Post.

"Late Edition" web site names these guests: Isaac Herzog: Israeli tourism Minister, John Bolton: U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Indiana: Foreign Relations Committee chairman, Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Connecticut: Foreign Relations committee member, Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Michigan: Select Intelligence Committee chairman, Rep. Jane Harman, D-California: Select Intelligence Committee member

[johnny7]

Ruh roh...

[Phsstpok]

no, I just checked the MTP site and they still list the ones I have in the preview. And ABC said they were off the air this week for coverage of some sports event (golf?). Yep, just checked that one too.

Looks like AP posted the wrong lineup.

[pookie18]

This Week should be preempted by the British Open...hopefully this will begin a continuing trend...

[Alas Babylon!]

My apologies to everyone!

The lineup is wrong!

The date of the page I used 01.21.06, not 07.21.06 like I thought (link is here).

So, please, here is the CORRECT lineup:

Is it a coincidence that Cindy, the Code Pink hags and Saddam all started their fast at the same time? I doubt it. They are in solidrity with each other.

Cindy (heart) Saddam

a suitable poster for future Freeps

[snugs]

Nothing new there AP giving wrong info. Sometimes the captions on their photos are just either completely wrong or way off beam. They even get their dates wrong and end up having almost 2 identical photos with different dates on them.

[MNJohnnie]

McTurdbin on Fox. And Alies wonders why Fox News is stumbling? They are starting to be just another Junk Media outlet

[Bahbah]

Timmy's first question to his correspondent in Lebanon is how bad is the humanitarian crises.

[Carolinamom]

Thanks to both of you for your hard work and faithfulness in bringing us these weekly threads...best on the web!

Congratulations to the winners...rodguy911, Samantha; and Fishtalk!

Thanks to all of the posters here who are infinitely more informed that the talk show guests.

[MNJohnnie]

Pretty pathetic when the only serious balanced line up is on See-BS of all places.

[Alas Babylon!]

Looks like AP posted the wrong lineup.

Nope!!! Not AP.... ME!!!!!!!!

PS ... In the 7 years I've been posting this thread (all 52 weeks of EVERY year), I've nwow done this twice!!!!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Bolton up now on FNS.

[snugs]

One small correction here on the gold it is The Open not the British Open.

It is held in Britain but the actual tournement is called The Open Championship

[Phsstpok]

CNN has added another voice, the ex-CIA guy. Let me check him out and I'll post what I find, but I'm willing to beet he's one of the ones who think like Richard Clarke and Joe Wilson.

MTP still shows Ricks on their site with the book "Fiasco," but they may bump him for more coverage of the Israeli/Hezbollah war. I doubt it, however, because the spin they're trying to manufacture is that the Israeli/Hezbollah is happening because of the "fiasco" in Iraq.

[Chuck54]

Thanks Alas and is it not a shame that a "disclaimer" has to be inserted.

What is the world coming to? The times they are a'changing.

:)

[snugs]

whoops gold = golf

[TomGuy]

MTP

Timmy's eating good again. His face is almost the size of John Murtha's and Bill Richardson's-- who also are eating pretty good.

[Bahbah]

Timmy's eating good again.

I noticed. His face looks like a moon. Timmy is pushing for us to talk to Syria. "If they want to help, why not talk to them." Hint, Timmy, they do not want to be helpful.

[Alas Babylon!]

I sent the following abuse report to the Admin mods:

Regarding #30

Dear Admin,

I screwed up by posting the wrong Sunday Talk Show guests in the "Body of Thread" portion of the initial post. Could you take this data - here in post number 30, and place it in the "Body of Thread" portion at the beginning?

If so, I'd be very much obliged to you.

Sorry I messed up.

Regards,

Alas Babylon!

[DoctorMichael]

40 lashes with a wet noodle!!!!!!!!!

Its still confusing though [*LOL*]: Fox has John Bolton and NBC has Josh Bolten.

[Phsstpok]

In the 7 years I've been posting this thread (all 52 weeks of EVERY year), I've now done this twice!!!!

You need to run a regular test to see who's paying attention.  It took nearly an hour for us to pick up on the issue.  My first assumption was that the shows had changed their lineups in response to the outbreak of war in the Middle East, and I had spent much of Friday evening and the early part of Saturday with the lineups myself.

That shows you how much we've come to depend on you posting this thread to get our info.  Like Carolinamom says in her post, this thread is the best on the web.

Thanks for your hard work.
 

[maica]

Could you ask a Moderator to amend the title so that folks get a headsup about the wrong line-up? This thread is too valuable to be misleading all day.

Idea: (Disregard posted names of today's guests)

[Bahbah]

Timmy is trying very hard this morning to link the US with Israel in this war. "Haven't we given a green light to go in there and destroy Hezbollah?"
We've accelerated arms delivery. Isn't this a proxy war? Now citing Mehlman saying this war is our war too.

[maica]

Whoa!!! Already done!
