  •  I think

    they have to have him and Ken Mehlman on at the same time.

    •  Huh?

      It's not like there's a Fairness Doctrine anymore.  I've certainly seen RNC chairs on Sunday talk shows without the DNC chair being anywhere in sight...

      •  don't you know the rules of the Sunday Talk Shows?

        Rule #3: No one shall be on one of the Sunday Talk Shows without a counterpart from the opposing party.

        Rule #4: Rule #3 does not apply to members of the Republican Party.

        •  you took the words

          off my keyboard. :). The rule is fairness when a Dem wants to be on, if Republican wants to come on the policy is, ah, see if you can find a Zell Miller type or just forget it.

  •  Next week I am guessing....

    even though everyone knew it was a done deal it needed to be official for one thing. Besides, Howard has been downplaying the early congrats for awile now not wanting a repeat of Iowa. He probably wanted some time to rest up too.

•  Does the good Christian Frist ever go to church?

  Don't see how, because he is always on the Sunday talk shows!

  Drink shade grown coffee!

  •  You got to feel for the guy

    He's had some difficulties on the Sunday talk shows. Stephanopoulus asked him a real tough question on whether tears and sweat could spread HIV. You don't learn that shit at Harvard Medical School.

•  Bestill my beating heart

  The Dems grow a spine and all of a sudden the Sunday shows show near parity?

•  Thread

  This thread is often buried these days, being posted so early.  It used to be posted closer to the actual shows, and became more visible.

  Just want to make sure that the Sunday junkies can find a common place to rant.

    Armando reposts this diary Sunday mornings.

•  i suppose

  it would have been too much to hope that rep. slaughter appears.  but hopefully they get into rice's testimony pretty good.
