The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - The Review
Sunday, October 29, 2006.

Harold Ford carried his day on FOX News Sunday, walking away as a self-described “Jesus-lovin’, gun totin’” kind of guy, and it doesn’t matter that he’d vote for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker and be a part of bringing the larger Dem anti-Bushie machine in power.
Rick Santorum on FNS pointed out that Bob Casey is hiding from the public because “he has nothing to offer.” Wallace’s producers had invited Junior to appear on the show with Rick, but Casey’s peeps, of course, ran away from that.
Schumer seemed subdued as he sat opposite Liddy Dole on FNS, but he perked up when Wallace and Dole tangled at the end.
On TW, Steph pledged allegiance to the efficacy of the generic polls and wanted to talk Foley. John Boehner said that there are 435 individual races and the Democrats had their problems as well.
Steph next spoke to Michael J. Fox, who said that his movement opposes human cloning and egg farms and they support adult stem cell research. The only thing he differs with Steele and Talent on is experimentation using embryonic stem cells, which scientists tell him have the most promise. He did not explain why the awful commercials, though. Importantly, Fox explained that the medication he takes which allows him to communicate also causes tremors like the ones Rush Limbaugh discussed.
Jack Murtha and Duncan Hunter did not appear together on FTN. Murtha went first, and he cited opinion polls as proof that we should get out of Iraq. He’s toned down his rhetoric, obviously coached as the election nears.
Hunter went next and said that we should follow the three points that we always use when establishing Democracies: stand up the government, stand up a military to defend that government, then leave. The first we’ve done and we’re progressing with the second.
Schieffer attacked Ken Mehlman about that Tennessee ad with the Playboy Bunny. Howard Dean said that the Dems would not impeach the President, and that such talk was a Republican “scare tactic.”
Chuck Rangel and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen appeared at the same time on LE, each from a different location. Blitzer wanted Ros-Lehtinen to go on record as supporting Don Rumsfeld, and she did. Rangel said that tax increases would not be “off the table” should he become chairman of the House Ways and Mans Committee.
