Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

There are two major themes on the Sunday shows today. The Kagan confirmation hearings start this week, hence the Kagan nomination is the talk on some of the Sunday shows. Then, of course, we've got the McChrystal debacle and what that means for the never ending war in Afghanistan.

On Afghanistan, among others, we'll see CIA Director Leon Panetta doing the "This Week." From the Senate Armed Service Committee, we'll see its chair, Carl Levin, on CBS and its Ranking Republican, John McCain, on "Meet the Press." McChrystal's resignation put a spotlight on Afghanistan and a lot of people are wondering what the hell is going on over there.

Also, Michael Hastings, who wrote the McChrystal piece for Rolling Stone will appear on CNN's Reliable Sources.

On Kagan, from the Senate Judiciary Committee, we'll see its chair, Patrick Leahy, and its ranking Republican, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, on CBS

Just about anywhere you look today you'll see a Senator. There are ten of them making appearance today. That's 10% of the Senate.

The full lineup is here.
