Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

Good morning.

There's one person you won't be seeing on the Sunday shows today: Teabagger/Anti-Masturbation crusader/Dabbler in witchcraft/Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell. She canceled appearances on CBS and FOX. Yes, even FOX.

There's a lot of foreign policy talk on the shows today. Bill Clinton will be on NBC and CBS talking about the Clinton Global Initiative, which takes place this week. And, ABC is hosting Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Armanpour taking on Ahmadinejad should make for some interesting t.v.

Colin Powell is also a guest on NBC. He should be questioned about Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Powell helped create that policy in 1993. Now, he thinks times have changed and the policy has changed. On Tuesday, the Senate will vote to end the filibuster of the Defense Authorization bill, which includes the DADT language. As of now, the votes aren't there to end the filibuster. This is our best shot to get the process moving towards finally ending that law. The White House hasn't said a word. Maybe Powell will. Instead, Lady Gaga has become a fierce advocate for repeal -- and she speaks to a big audience. Fortunately, she's been willing to use her bully pulpit. At least someone has.

Here's the full lineup.
