Weekend Talk Show *Preview* for 1/20/2007 (not the live thread)

Network and Cable News | January 19, 2008 | Network and Cable News Shows

[Phsstpok]

Here are the listings for the Sunday Shows for January 20th, 2008.

There are two Republican presidential candidates (Rudy and Mitt) and one Democrat (but he get's two shows).  The rest is dinosaur media talking heads, Dhimmicrat campaign operatives or Congressional Democrats.  Obviously the results of the South Carolina and Nevada contests will be a major topic, but it seems likely that they are more likely going to try to promote the upcoming current recession Depression.

Below are the topics and guests announced for these programs. The programs are listed in the order they show in my area.

Mark Kilmer has posted his excellent Sunday preview over at RedState.COM

Politico.COM has posted their Sunday talk show tip sheet.  In addition their Roger "I hate and fear Fred Thompson" Simon is on Face The Nation.  I dearly hope that Fred knocks one out of the park in South Carolina and that Simon and the rest of the oh so smart talking heads have to eat crow on Sunday.

Sorry for not posting the preview last week and for not participating in the last couple of Sunday threads.  In addition to my own health problems flaring up fairly seriously my 89 year old father went in the hospital for emergency surgery.  We expected him to be out in a few days but it looks to be stretching out and we're not confident of how things will turn out.  Given all that's going on right now this may be my total participation on FR this weekend.  I haven't posted anything at all in a full week and only had 1 post prior to that since Sunday 2 weeks ago.  All in all, that's probably a good thing for my blood pressure, though. <g>

Hope all are well.  Even if I don't participate I'll try to read through the thread tomorrow.

IB4TP?

That’s a first if so.

[Chuck54]

Best to you and your dad PP.

The Weekend Talk Show Preview is up, such as it is

I didn't bother covering any of the Saturday shows and have not done (and likely will not be able to do) any of the research on the guests.  They're pretty obvious and straight forward this week, though, so that's probably no big loss.

Best to all.

CNN Late Edition (Wolf Blitzer)

Blitzer...hmmm where have I heard that name..OH yeah, Hillary Clinton's bitch! That Blitzer!

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Well it look like we’re gonna get snowed/iced in tomorrow morning and churches will cancel their services so I’ll get me some hot chocolate and watch Peggy Noonon on MTP.

[Alas Babylon!]

Over on the last Sunday thread, we said prayers for you and your Dad. Our Great Father watches over you and your Dad, man. Rest easy; many FReeper friends have you in their prayers.

I am filling out my application to work at TechEd 2008 down in Orlando this summer. It’s getting to be that time, even though we had snow this morning (first time in 7 years) in Alabama. My seven year old, who doesn’t remember the snow he played in as a baby, told me today after his first ever snow ball fight, that this was his best snowball fight ever (even though it was his only)! Kids! Anyway, I hope Microsoft will hire me for another gig but if you go we have GOT to get together!

Thanks for your work. I’ll be sure to watch Fox with Mitt Romney and wonder how many questions Chris Wallace will ask before the big one: When are you going to drop out? That seems to be the only question on any pundit’s mind about Romney.
BTW, Mitt was great on Leno last night!

[Bahbah]

Mitt was great on Leno last night!

I only saw clips (past my bedtime), but he was just charming.

[maica]

I think he surprised and even charmed Leno a bit. He was so quick-witted, that Leno just laughed and gave him a high five at the end. The audience seemed very appreciative also.

[rodguy911]

Hi Phsstopk, hope you are doing better. You certainly are missed here! Best to your entire family,stay well.

[rodguy911]

Is it above zero there yet bud, you guys are really getting the cold weather!!

[La Enchiladita]

You are one of the most awesome FReepers ever, and I love the way you lay out the Sunday preview. I am so sorry to hear of your and your father’s health troubles and will pray for you at Mass tomorrow. God bless you.

[altura]

Thanks for all you do. We will be thinking about you and your Dad and hoping for a recovery.
