Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

The economy is the topic. The White House is sending out Geithner, Larry Summers (twice) and Christine Romer. For some reason, Stephanopoulos is also hosting Alan Greenspan, who, along with the Bush crew, got us into this economic crisis. I'm sure we'll get some real pearls of wisdom from him.

I still think Geithner and Summers are too close to Wall Street (and Summers isn't blame free from some of the Clinton-era policies that paved the was for the crisis either.) I wish they'd both listen more to Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman. Seriously. Obama should, too. And, either of them would be better guests about the economy than Greenspan.

McCain is on Face the Nation. Seems like we haven't seen him for awhile. Wonder what Mr. Cranky will come up.
