For Sunday, April 30, 2006

Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert has the most exciting show of his umpteen-year career as host of MTP. Yes, he will discuss the price of gasoline with Energy Secretary Sam Bodman, American Petroleum Institute Pres. & CEO Red Cavaney, CNBC’s Jim Cramer, famed nazi hunter Dick Durbin, and author/analyst Daniel Yergin.

FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace chat with some new White House personnel: Chief of Staff Josh Bolten then incoming Press Secretary Tony Snow. It’s always nice to see Tony on what once was his show.

Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer talks has Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice then Senators Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska).

This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to Rice, then it’s Chuckie Schumer vs. former Louisiana Senator Bennett Johnston, a Dem who lobbies for “BIG OIL”!

Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer talks to Rice and Trent Lott vs. Babs Boxer. Plus his usual cast ot thousands.

Seriously, if you want to watch a show between 9 and 10 ET, this may be the week to skip Russert. FOX has the most interesting show of the week this week, what with all the cries of this and that about the WH “shakeup.” Josh Bolten has to be a hot ticket, and Tony Snow is Tony Snow.

Secretary Rice takes three shows this week. After that, Schumer’s marginal and Steph won’t ask Johnston what he thinks of his replacement, Mary Landrieu. I’m not sure what to expect from Cantwell and Lisa M. Lott vs. Babs should be fun.

I shall watch the shows tomorrow morning and report what happened in the afternoon, overs at RedState.com.
