NBC's "Meet the Press" — Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper; Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman; Center for American Progress president John Podesta; Watergate reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

Uh... what about them?

They were all on MTP before. They are on next week?

The excerpt is not even a complete sentence.

[Pukin Dog]

Woodward and Bernstein, huh?

Oh man, its really happening.

[Darkwolf377]

You can't figure it out? Oh, come on, try.

[Dog]

Oh man, its really happening.

What's happening?

[eureka!]

The idiots will start talking coverup, Watergate analogies and impeachment, e.g., "This is much worse, involving national security". Barf....

[Dog]

Oh the Watergat template.

[festus]

next thing you know we'll only be allowed to excerpt consonants but no vowels.

[Pukin Dog]

Thats right. Russert will no doubt ask them to compare Watergate to the current 'scandal'. Naturally, they will say that it is quite similar.

One idiot or another is going to say: "What did Rove know and when did he know it?"

Watch.

[AmishDude]

Well, we can count on Woodward and Bernstein to say conclusively that the Plame thing "isn't as big as Watergate". That's what they always say.

[AmishDude]

Tim should rue that fact that he has to do bookings this far in advance. The story is crumbling today, it may implode completely by tomorrow.

Thank Heaven I'll be in Church!

[AmishDude]

Face the Nation might actually be interesting. We'll hear Wilson himself (a good interviewer might get him sweating and backtracking). Schumer will be insufferable as usual. Lindsey Graham will be limp-wristed as usual. Not sure why Roy Blunt is on.

[YaYa123]

No reason to watch Matt Cooper. He won't say anything, it will just be a tease for his column. I mean, how stupid...Tim Russert questioning Matt Cooper, but you can bet, Russert won't disclose what he said, what he was asked, when he was supoenaed and testified before the Grand Jury. MTP = What A Sham!!!

[Swanks]

Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C

First there are rumors they call each other on their cell phones. Now they appear together (giving strenth to the cell phone rumors). I'll bet they will sleep in the same place together the night before....

[YaYa123]

Here in the Atlanta market, The McLaughlin Group is shown on Friday nights, on one of the three PBS channels, via Comcast Cable. Help please...can you find the schedule so we won't miss it.

I DO hope Lawrence O'Donnell is back this week!!

(I think it's hilarious Chris Matthews is AWOL from Hardball last night and tonight.)

[Swanks]

Question for Cooper; Why did you spin a big news story implying that Rove gave you cover 24 hrs. in advance of a contempt of court citation, when in fact Rove signed that blanket document for all journalists, over 18 months ago?

Think Russert could ask that and not be ignored forever at Georgetown parties?

[michaelt]

This is from Slate, via InstaPundit:

Plucky liberal Joshua Micah Marshall offers what he hopes will be the Democratic line on the scandal. "The entire Wilson/Plame story and the Rove/White House criminal probe sub-story are just so many threads thrown off a much larger and more consquential ball of yarn: the administration's use of fraudulent evidence of an Iraqi nuclear weapons program to seal the deal for war on Iraq with the American people," he writes at TPMCafe. Atrios, E Pluribus Unum, Ed Cone, and others on the left are opening up another front in the war on Rove, passing around a New York Times column that attacks the advisor for turning 9/11 into a domestic political opportunity.

Roy Blunt will only be asked one question.. and then be cut off by Joe Wilson.
