Long and very optomistic take on the Sunday Morning talk shows.
After the read, just hope it doesn't start another flame thread.

2. Good grilling shows today

I can't stand to watch the talking heads even if they actually ask some hard questions, so I always like to read the AMPOL pundit pap since they add good humor in their summary as well; like the "Fried Rice!" story byline. he he he

Sept. 28, 2003 -- NEW YORK (apj.us) -- This morning, I watched Secretary of State Colin Powell, visibly shaken by events which seem to be a harbinger of at least a nuclear-sized cleanup within the President's cabinet that is taking shape.

Mr. Powell, usually the personification of calm, began perspiring vigorously under questioning by ABC's George Stephanoplous -- so much so that he had to wipe a line of sweat dripping down the left side of his cheek as he answered one probing -- but not tough enough -- question from the former Clinton operative and turncoat.

Tim Russert had a similar field day with Condoleezza Rice -- although Ms. Rice did not perspire. Instead she changed facial expressions in a most bizarre manner and presented a visage -- well, several of them -- that I had not seen before. It was a sign of severe strain.

I wondered whether President Bush had sent her and Mr. Powell on a mission to try and turn the rising tide against his policies in a kind of "do or die" manner. As readers know, I have called for the President to rid himself at least of Mr. Rumsfeld, Mr. Wolfowitz, and Ms. Rice before. Perhaps now, he will awaken from his slumber.

In fact, today's pundit shows unveiled a turnaround -- with the media, which up until today seemed all too eager to take the side of the Administration, now ready to attack it -- and viciously.
Make no mistake: when the major networks and cable news operations begin to ask the tough questions raised this morning, the party is definitely over, this time for President Bush.
