Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves - Eurythmics featuring
Aretha Franklin
I woke up this morning to the sweet, sweet sounds of a
shattered glass ceiling. This Week is now being hosted by a
woman, Christiane Amanpour. With no disrespect intended to
interim host Jake Tapper (who did a fairly decent job,
certainly better and more consistently than Stephanopoulos),
I am thrilled to get a new voice and new point of view to
the Sunday shows. Both as a female and as a person who has
lived in other countries, I'm hoping that Amanpour will
bring something different to the American macho
exceptionalism that spews forth mindlessly on these shows.
And who better to inaugurate Amanpour's first show than that
other glass ceiling breaker, Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi? Of course, on the other end of the spectrum, we have
Sarah Palin on yet another "exclusive" interview with Fox
News Sunday. Elsewhere on the dial, Ayn Rand's boy toy Alan
Greenspan will be on Meet the Press

and would-be Fourteenth Amendment Warrior Lindsey Graham is
on State of the Union

and Tweety's trying to figure out if tying the Republicans
to the Tea Party is a good electoral strategy. Like I said,
we could sure use a fresh perspective on Sundays.
ABC's "This Week" - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif.; Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
CBS' "Face the Nation" - Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.; Adm.
Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Richard
Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations; Thomas
Saenz, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and
Educational Fund.
NBC's "Meet the Press" - Mullen; former Federal Reserve
Chairman Alan Greenspan; Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa.; New York
Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show" - Panel: Kimberly
Dozier, Dan Rather, Rick Stengel and Helene Cooper. Topics:
The War in Afghanistan: How Long Will the President's
Popular Support Last? Can Democrats Limit the Damage By
Tying Republicans to the Tea Party?
CNN's "State of the Union" - Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich.,
and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS" - On Sunday, Fareed has an
exclusive interview with Senator John Kerry -- the Chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee -- to talk about
the Wikileaks and, more broadly, the war in Afghanistan;
about Iran and whether we should be engaging that nation;
and about U.S. politics. Then Pakistan's Ambassador to the
U.S. responds directly to the accusations in the war logs
that his intelligence service has been colluding with the
Taliban.
"Fox News Sunday" - Former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska;
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky; House Minority
Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio.
