Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

They're talking war today on the Sunday shows, which means Afghanistan. Lots of Senators from the Armed Services Committee, including its Chair, Carl Levin. Of course, John McCain is showing up today -- and his sidekick, Lindsey Graham. And, there's a slew of retired generals, including former Joint Chiefs Chair Richard Myers who served under George Bush. Both of them ignored Afghanistan, so unclear what insight he'll offer. With all these military experts, and given Obama's speech last night, we may see a question of two about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." David Gregory should ask Lindsey about it.

CNN's "State of the Union" is also doing the flu. Who knows what FOX is doing -- and who cares? It's never constructive, which begs the question of why Michigan's Democratic Governor, Jennifer Granholm, is on FOX today. Nothing good comes from Democrats appearing on that right-wing GOP t.v. network. Nothing.

The full listing is after the break.
