The Gilligan Gregory era of Press the Meat begins today with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, plus Chicago Sun-Times’ Mary Mitchell and Chuck Todd. and a discussion on the Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, undewear model Mitt Romney, disgraced former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, Lee Scott, CEO of that wonderful corporate citizen, Wal-Mart, and Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

Faze the Nation has Carl Levin, Tennessee cracker Bob Corker, Sherod Brown, another appearance by Lisa Madigan, and Michael Eric Dyson.

Fux News and Weaselface Wallace have Cracker Corker, Illinois House Republican dickhead Tom Cross, and Micigan’s Debbie Stabenow. And the usual fuxheads, of course.

At the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus has a big exclusive with, um, John “loser” McCain, plus a round table with PBS’ Gwen Ifill, Paul Krugman, WSJ hack Gerald Seib, and (of course) George :jerk: Will.

Later, on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl talks to the always entertaining Barney Frank, Scott Pelley tries to find the bottom of the mortgage meltdown barrel, and Byron Pitts foolishly profiles USC football coach Pete Carroll, when he really ought to be doing a story on Syracuse’s new head coach, Doug Marrone.

Have a good one.
