Fox News Sunday
Vice President Dick Cheney joins 'FOX News Sunday' for an exclusive interview with Chris Wallace
What's on the Sunday news shows for Jan. 14? I did a quick spin around the network Web sites. The highlight, of course, is the Fox exclusive interview of Dick Cheney by Chris Wallace. Will he has him about the Murray Waas article that Libby was actually covering for him? Will Wallace ask Cheney how much of a driving force he was behind the Iraq escalation? Or getting Negroponte out of the Intelligence seat and putting his own yes-man in there? It will be more interesting to see how Wallace avoids the questions or how he turns them into softball questions. Maybe we will be treated to how the insurgency is still in its last throes, if you will.

National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley on the President's new strategy in Iraq. Then an exclusive discussion - four Senators with very different views: Chris Dodd, D-CT, Joe Lieberman, D/I-CT, Jon Kyl, R-AZ, & Chuck Hagel, R-NE.
Will Russert drag Hadley over the coals? According to the New York Times, Hadley was one of the driving forces behind the escalation. And will everyone on the panel gang up on Lieberman?
CBS Face the Nation
Senator Barack Obama, D-Illinois
Foreign Relations Committee
Senator John McCain, R-Arizona
Armed Services Committee
I can't wait for this one. Could this be a preview of the presidential debates? This is a good show for Bill Sheiffer. I hope Obama takes McCain apart.

Natl. Sec. Advisor Stephen Hadley and Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa. on the president's plan for Iraq. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on his agenda for 2007. On the roundtable: George Will, Katrina vanden Huevel & Fareed Zakaria
Hadley vs. Murtha? You gotta be kidding me. This is going to be great!!
CNN Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer
This weekend’s guests:
• Hoshyar Zebari: Iraqi foreign minister
• Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky: Minority leader
• Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan: Armed Services Committee chairman
• Shaukat Aziz: Pakistani prime minister
• Gen. Richard Myers: Former Joint Chiefs chairman
• Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts: Foreign Relations Committee member
Not too thrilled with this lineup. It does have an Iraqi and a Pakistani, though. How can there be all these news shows about Iraq, and this is the only show with an Iraqi voice on it? Shouldn't we be hearing from Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds in Iraq? It is their country, after all. Or are we all on board with the fact that it is merely a plaything for Bush/Cheney? And gee, only one Republican. How times have changed.
