Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

Something very interesting is happening today. The Obama administration is being represented by its Education Secretary, Arne Duncan, and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Sean Donovan. We rarely see Obama cabinet secretaries on the Sunday shows -- or anywhere on t.v., it seems. The usual suspects from that crack team in the West Wing must be on vacation. Duncan is on ABC. Donovan is on CNN.

"Meet the Press" is in New Orleans with Senator Landrieu, Mayor Landrieu and Brad Pitt. Still think one of the best cable news interviews ever was Anderson Cooper's take down of Mary Landrieu in the wake of Katrina. It's here. How much you want to bet both Landrieu's make a pitch for oil drilling? That's where their real interest lies.

Florida's Democratic Senate candidate Kendrick Meek is on CBS and CNN. CBS also hosts Joe Miller, the Sarah Palin-endorsed teabagger who is ahead in Alaska's GOP Senate primary. On Friday, his campaign tweeted that his opponent, Lisa Murkowski, is a prostitute. Yeah, that one's really ugly.

And, FOX somehow managed to get Glenn Beck as its only guest. Quite a "get."

The full lineup is here.
