Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

The Democrats dominate the Sunday talk shows today. It's all about the Democratic primary. And, Obama goes on Fox. (It's not a real network, p.s.)

Of course, there's no need to discuss important issues facing Americans or contemplate the growing reality that Clinton's path to victory (for either 2008 or 2012) would do "irreparable" damage to the Democratic party. No, the Clinton campaign wants another debate -- so surely that is all the talking heads will be able to handle. You know how this goes. To change the subject over key issues, the Clinton camp sends out some distracting press release about a non-issue on a Saturday afternoon, timed for the Sunday shows. The pundits know it's a distraction, but the punditry will predictably play along.

Be good if some of these Democratic talking heads used some time to talk about -- and define -- John McCain. Every day, McCain proves himself to be a fraud and a pretty weak candidate. He has no power (or even moral authority) over the racist chair of the North Carolina GOP. That's says a lot about just how weak he is.

The full lineup is after the break.

No doubt, the pundits will find something to obsesss about based on this week's shows:

ABC's "This Week" , Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind.; former Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D.; Reps. Artur Davis, D-Ala., and Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas.

,,,

CBS' "Face the Nation" , David Axelrod, campaign adviser for Barack Obama; Howard Wolfson, campaign adviser for Hillary Rodham Clinton; Roger Mudd, author of a book on CBS news.

,,,

NBC's "Meet the Press" , Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean.

,,,

CNN's "Late Edition" , Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y; Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich.; Steve Coll, author of a book on the bin Laden family; James Rubin, a Clinton campaign adviser; Susan Rice, an Obama campaign adviser.

,,,

"Fox News Sunday" , Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.x

Have at it.
