Sunday Talk Show Line-up
Thanks to Redstate.org for this summary of the Sunday talkshows:
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert will talk to Matt Cooper of TIME Magazine. He’ll also chat with RNC Chair Ken Mehlman vrs. Former Clinton staffer John Podesta, who currently runs the George Soros outfit Center for American Progress
FOX News Sunday: Host Chris Wallace talks with Arlen Specter and Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu, whose vote they say is “key.” (They make the same claim of Specter, but he’s hopefully in a box.)
Representative Jane Harman (D-California) will be on to discuss Karl Rove and THE LAW.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer, will chat, on the Karl Rove matter, with Joe Wilson. Fifty years ago, one thinks, he might have interviewed Joe Stalin for the skinny on the Cold War.
Then he talks to Roy Blunt, Chuckie Schumer, and Lindsey Graham. The House whip and two Senators. Assisting with the frog-marching… er, questions will be Jan Crawford Greenbug of the Chicago Tribune.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos WILL NOT AIR. No Steph, no guests. ABC will air the final round of golf at the British Open. This year, it’s at the St. Andrews course in Scotland. (Joe Wilson could not make the cut.)
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolfgang Blitzer talks to Judge Bork, Orrin Hatch vs. Joe Biden, and his usual cast of skillions.
Enjoy!
Not, Joe Biden again….
I wonder what he gets paid? Residuals? Heh.

Los Angeles Times: All the White Men
Patterico busts up the Los Angeles Times Again, L.A. Times Airbrushes Web Version of Article to Fix a Substantive Error Without Issuing Correction.
The recently issued L.A. Times ethics code states: “When we make mistakes, we quickly and forthrightly correct the record.†(My emphasis.) Yet the paper has just surreptitiously fixed a substantive error in the Web version of an article — without acknowledging the error that ran in the print version.
Michelle Malkin has WHITEOUT AT THE L.A. TIMES

Supreme Court Watch: Roberts and Luttig
Similar Appeal; Different Styles
John G. Roberts Jr. and J. Michael Luttig have both marched up through the Republican ranks, from Supreme Court clerkships to White House jobs to the federal bench.
Now the two area judges — Roberts sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit; Luttig is a Tysons Corner-based member of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit — have emerged on President Bush’s short list of potential nominees to the Supreme Court, according to lawyers familiar with the administration’s deliberations.
Flap likes them both!
Mr. President can we have them nominated……please?

Hugh Hewitt Dissects the Politcal Animal
Hugh Hewitt dissects Kevin Drum, CONSERVATIVE AMNESIA.
Here’s a post by Kevin Drum from his blog this morning that perfectly illustrates the effect of lousy analysis combined with invective combined with the assertion of a conclusion that will harden the left’s position that is untenable with the public, as has been proven by two cycles of elections….
We will see what Kevin has to say at tomorrow’s Bear Flag League Summer Conference, which by the way is SOLD OUT.
Update #1
Welcome Hugh Hewitt Readers and….
Thanks Hugh.
Kevin, see you tomorrow.
Flap hopes all of Hugh’s readers will bookmark the main page, return again and often.

Idaho County Sues Over Illegal Immigrant Workers
Robert Vasquez,Commissioner, Canyon County, Idaho
The legal theory: that a pattern of immigration violations by employers is costing Canyon County millions for law enforcement, education and social services.
“Their presence lowers the labor wage for American citizens and removes employment opportunities,” county Commissioner Robert Vasquez, an ambitious politician who just started a bid for Congress, said of the illegal workers. “Certainly it uses tax dollars to provide them with educational services, medical care, unemployment compensation for those that are injured on the job. They are a drain on the taxpayers of Canyon County, the state of Idaho and the U.S. in general.”
The county’s attempt to recoup its expenses would be filed under the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly called the RICO Act, which has been used against targets ranging from organized crime to Internet spammers.
About time the immigration laws will be enforced.
The lawsuit won’t go far though.
