The president-elect's team dominates the news shows today. Rahm Emanuel makes a couple stop, as do key players in the transition. All eyes are on the new team, except at FOX. That network only has a couple of pathetic House Republicans. Let's hope this was an intentional slight from the Obama operation. There is no reason to ever send anyone to FOX News, unless it's to beat the crap out of them like Burton and Gibbs did.
Also, no surprise: No Sarah Palin. I guess we have a better idea now why she wouldn't do the Sunday shows. Africa and NAFTA questions were too hard.

ABC's "This Week" — Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., chief of staff to President-elect Obama.
