FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace chats with potential veeps: Governors Tim Pawlenty (R-Minnesota) and Tim Kaine (D-Virginia).

This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos has Senators Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) on the air as surrogates to argue about the Presidential election, then Senator Dianne Feinstein will talk about the historic secret summit between Clinton (Hillary) and Obama.

Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert has a roundtable with a bunch of NBC News reporters: Ron Allen, Lee Cowan, David Gregory, Andrea Mitchell, Kelly O’Donnell, and Chuck Todd.

Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer has Hillary’s mouthpiece Howard Wolfson, then turns to Representative Chuck Rangel (D-New York) and Senator Jim Webb (D-Virginia).

Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer will interview Senators Jon Kyl (R-Arizona) and Bobby Casey (D-Pennsylvania), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) and Feinstein, and his usual cast of thousands.

The Senate’s two “dumb guys” are on display this week in Jim Webb (FTN) and Junior Casey (LE), a sure contributor to the morning’s mirth. The surrogate thing is going on again.

DiFi’s not going to spill the beans on that irrelevant get-together between Barry and Hillary at her DC home, one which I mockingly call “historic” merely because it has caught the scorned media’s imagination.

And Russert continues his painful habit of interviewing official pundits and unofficial pundits (reporters). At least we’ll know what the Washington Press Corp thinks, but I do not understand how he talk to NBC News folks with including their two brightest stars: Chris Matthews and the sportscaster Keith Olbermann.

I’ll be by early tomorrow afternoon (ET) with a review of these shows, and I should be in a better mood by then.
