Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

John is on CNN's Reliable Sources this morning. His segment should air around 10:40 a.m. Eastern. He'll be talking about a range of topics including the media coverage of the climate change debate and Obama's Nobel.

The Obama administration's focus on economy and jobs is on display on the shows today. The White House is sending out two of its top economic advisers, Larry Summers and Christine Romer, to spread its message. For some reason, NBC is including Alan Greenspan in its discussion of the economy. The husband of NBC's Andrea Mitchell played a significant role in the destruction of the economy during his tenure as Chair of the Fed.

There are also a slew of Senators on the shows. (The Senate is in session again today, but doesn't convene til 1:30 PM.) The most important (and egomaniacal) Senator of all, Joe Lieberman, is on CBS. That should be some fun viewing, huh? We can expect some chatter about the Senate health care bill, but it's doubtful that we'll learn anything new.

The full lineup is after the break.
