For New Years Day (January 1), 2006:

Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert has a throwaway this week: historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, Newsweek’s Jon Meacham, Bill Safire of the New York Times, and the WashPost’s Eugene Robinson will chat and chat and chat ceaselessly.

FOX News Sunday: Host Chris Wallace will chat with Senate GOP whip Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Chuck Schumer of New York about “what’s in store of 2006.”

Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer talks to New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, CDC director Dr. Julie Gerberding, and Gingrich.

This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos will attempt to interrogate Joint Chiefs Chairman General Peter Pace, USMC, “on American troop levels and the future of Iraq.”

Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer will talk ot HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt about the bird flu. He’ll also talk to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Dick Lugar of Indiana and Dem Whip/Nazi hunter Dick Durbin of Illiinois about… stuff.

It looks like it will be mostly Year-in-Review/Look-in-Crystal-Ball stuff this week, except for Blitzer’s bit on bird flu, and I have no idea where that one’s coming from. McCain and Joe Biden are absent, but Newt’s got them covered.

I don’t know what Schieffer is up to with Nagin and Geberding, unless he’s suggesting that Brownie gave bird flue to the Big Easy.
