Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

The Pennsylvania primary is the dominant subject on the shows today.

However, George Stephanopoulos has only one guest: John McCain. During his widely panned performance at the debate on Wednesday night, George showed his obsession with non-issue issues. That debate will haunt the media careers of George and Gibson. As for today, both John and Cliff have provided questions for today's show. Today's Washington Post examined McCain's volatile temper (noting how Bill Clinton's temper forced George S. onto anti-depressants, btw). Chris Edelson wants more info about McCain's close relationship with the very shady G. Gordon Libby. There is plenty of material for George.

Who wants to bet that Stephanopoulos ends up fawning over McCain today? I'd say it's a safe bet.

The full lineup is after the break.
