What happened on the Sunday Morning Talk Shows
What does John McCain think? Tim Russert on MTP asked, after first trying to force McCain to answer for all the BushLied nonsense and hyperbole. The Senator did fine, and he did say that Russia should never have been admitted to the G8.
Russ Feingold insisted that the President "has to admit that he went too far" with the NSA terrorist surveillance program, then he admitted that he hadn't been fully briefed on the program. But, he said, it is unhealthy to have "one party rule."
George Allen on TW declared that the guest worker program could wait, we first have to seal the border. However, Lindsey Graham on FNS said that the Senate and Republicans had moved beyond the seal-the-borders-only measures. Jim Sensenbrenner on FTN wants to spend $7-billion on a border fence but he doesn't know what it will made of. Famed Nazi hunter Dick Durbin, on FTN at the same time as Sensenbrenner, boasted that he was across the street before the segment, drinking coffee made by illegal aliens.
On LE, Mexican President Vicente Fox talked about improving the situation in his country to keep people there. Blitzer kept losing his satellite feed, He brought him back a few times, finally in the midst of an interview with Chuck Hagel and Evan Bayh. Blitzer asked Fox if he thought he was wrong now not to support the invasion of Iraq. (Blitzer had been discussing Iraq with Bayh and Hagel.) Fox snapped that Blitzer was trying to change the subject, as the summit had been about improving the opportunities in Mexico, and. POOF. He lost Fox's satellite again, this time conveniently. Hagel and Bayh went on to state in the strongest of terms how incompetent the Bush Administration has been.
