Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

A slew of politicos and a couple military types are on the shows today. The military personnel will talk about the tragedy at Fort Hood and the ongoing wars.

No doubt, we'll get a recap of the House vote and another analysis of last week's election. But don't expect DNC Chair Tim Kaine to mention the Maine marriage election. No. The DNC and OFA largely avoid gay issues especially marriage. In fact, the DNC and OFA actually undermined the campaign for marriage equality in Maine -- and lied about it. (We'll have much, much more to say on that growing controversy very soon.)

For some unfathomable reason, the Chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Chris Van Hollen, is appearing on FOX News today (along with leading GOPers like VA Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) and Joe Lieberman.) Makes no sense for the Chair of the DCCC to show up on FOX News. No sense at all.

The good news is that Rachel Maddow is on the panel of pundits on "Meet the Press." That's about the only reason to ever watch that show.
