Talking Heads--Life During Wartime from Stop Making Sense

Happy Fathers' Day to all the daddies out there!

I think it's safe to say that a large percentage of airtime will be devoted to the memory of Tim Russert. In fact, the whole of Meet the Press will be a tribute to Russert. However, there's still lots of potential for political hackery and media narratives. Look at Face the Nation: that's a whole world of crazy with Jindal the Exorcist and the always partisan Newt Gingrich. And John "Cry-Baby" Boehner will be on Late Edition, will he still be insisting that the Chinese are drilling for oil off of Cuba?

ABC's "This Week" - Former Sens. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., and John Edwards, D-N.C.

CBS' "Face the Nation" - Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La.; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

NBC's "Meet the Press" - Tribute to late host Tim Russert.

CNN's "Late Edition" - Reps. John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.; Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa.; Gov. Janet Napolitano, D-Ariz.; Douglas Holtz-Eakin, McCain economic adviser, and Dan Tarullo, Obama economic adviser; Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari.

"Fox News Sunday" - Sens. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas; American Petroleum Institute President and CEO Red Cavaney; Earth Day Network President Kathleen Rogers.

"The Chris Matthews Show" - Panel: Katty Kay, Jim Cramer, Kathleen Parker and Andrew Sullivan. Topic Questions: Can McCain escape the Bush economy by pushing tax cuts? Does the "tough guy" image of a president still sell with voters?
