Happy Father’s Day to all you guys who managed to slip one past the goalie.

As you might suspect, NBC will be devote the whole hour today to Tim Russert, as Tom Brokaw hosts a special potato salad edition of Press the Meat. In addition to Brokaw, the folks lined up to completely ignore real news today include some guy from MSNBC named Mike Barnicle, creepy couple James Carvill and Mary Matalin, MTP producer Betsy Fischer, presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, PBS’s Gwen Ifill, and Maria ‘Skeletor’ Shriver.

Bush Buddy Bobby Schieffer hosts a fair and balanced look at “Campaign ’08’ on Faze the Nation, with Louisiana’s Republican Governor, Bobby Jindal, asshole Newt Gingrich, and Jim “Art” Vandehei of the ever incorrect Politico.

Speaking of Fair and Balanced, on Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has icky Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, ND Senator Byron Dorgan, Red Cavaney, president and CEO, American Petroleum Institute (on to tell us how bad he feels about all the record profits the Oil Industry is making), the usual group of Fuxheads, and, channeling the ghost of Josef Goebbels, the Pillsbury Dough Nazi, Karl Rove.

Speaking of Goebbels, on This Weak with George Snufalufagus, we get into the ‘big issues’ with John Edwards and Fred Thompson. Fred Thompson? Really? I guess maybe they need somebody to make John McCain look more lifelike or something. Plus there’s a roundtable of Robert Reich, former pentagon spokesbitch Torie Clarke, the depressingly stupid Jake Tapper, and George :jerk: Will.

On CNN’s Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer it’s the always disgusting John Boehner, KP’s Gov, Janet Napolitano, Chris Van Hollen of MD, Arlen Specter, McCain’s Economic Adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin,and his counterpart from the Obama campaign, Dan Tarullo, plus Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari.

Later, on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl tells us we need to get some sleep, and Morley Safer tells us that Denmark is the happiest country in the world. Well good for them.

Enjoy the day. I’ll probably just sprawl across the davenport of despair.
