No time for anything fancy today….
On Press the Meat, Timmy Potatohead hosts the Co-Chairs of the Iraq Study Group, James Baker & Lee Hamilton. Then, Ken Adelman, Eliot Cohen, Richard Haass, Tom Ricks weigh in on the report and its repercussions on U.S. involvement in Iraq & the Middle East.
Then Baker and Hamilton take the show over to Faze the Nation on CBS. Also on are Carl Levin, and Senator Brylcreem, Trent Lott.
Next, the Baker and Hamilton show moves over to Fux News Sunday with Weaselface Wallace.
Over at Goebbels, George Snufalufagus does a one-on-one with Tony Blair and then Senator MBNA, Joe Biden, and Oregons’s Gordon Smith talk about the ISR report. Over at the roundtable, it’s George :jerk: Will (Jim Webb ought to smack him one), Cokie “The Hag” Roberts, Sam :omg: Donaldson Fareed “Token” Zakaria. Finally, Ed Asner is on. I like Ed, but he’s not worth ending the boycott for.
Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission has Act IV of the Baker/Hamilton show, plus Jane Harman, Chris Shays, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, who is leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution of Iraq (not only do they have a website, but you can go and sign their guestbook, which isn’t really a guestbook, so much as a feedback form), Shimon Peres, Bobby Woodward, and NYT Baghdad bureau chief, John Burns.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper makes his debut with a story about Abu Ghraib whistleblower Joe Darby. Also, Steve Kroft reports on the influence the mafia still has in Italy and talks about the arrest of a real-life Godfather, Scott Pelley discusses the popularity in the United States of “mixed martial arts,” and Andy Rooney will find something to whine about.
Season finale of The Wire tonight, and I haven’t even gotten the chance to watch last week’s yet. Have a good one.
