Sunday Talking Heads: March 11, 2012

No surprise there aren’t (m)any women on the majors today – again. As Scarecrow notes: “So, the biggest story of the last two weeks has been the huge backlash against misogynists and anti women legislation, and the corresponding dip in approval for GOP and those waging war on women rights, and so they invite some the nations dumbest men to all their shows. again. All those shows, btw, are sponsored by oil and gas companies, who wouldn’t notice or care about this disconnect.”

Now about those listings: Book Salon today special for you econ geeks, Keynes v Hayek. Virtually Speaking this evening is digby and McJoan. Oh, and this week’s Q&A guest (C-SPAN) will be our guest for FDL’s Book Salon at the end of the month, so tune in for a preview.

Good Morning! Who’s got the coffee? Media Matters tallied the number of male guests vs female guests on the Sunday talk shows demonstrating the male bias we all see.

Super Sunday! I know some of you don’t care for football, but you have to admit it’s a great day for eating.

Buenos dias. (I don’t know how to say “Good morning” in moonspeak.)

Scarecrow notes – NBC certainly has an all star line up. They’re all set for a discussion of the housing crisis, featuring a man who doesn’t know how many homes he owns and a paid shill for reverse mortgages.

Teddy observed – Wasserman Shultz checks so many boxes! Democrat, lady, Jew, Floridian, party chair, cancer survivor, friend of Gabby, mom. All the bookers need is for one of the shows to have her on. Then all bases are covered. With one guest! And, in fact, that’s exactly what they did.

Peterr points out – CBS: “Also Dave Barry” Finally, CBS has an analyst whose gifts match the guests on the show. Who better to comment on Bachmann, Trump, and the Occupants of the GOP Clown Car? On the other hand, I could see how someone would say “Aren’t there enough comedians on the show already? Why add one more?” Meanwhile, on NBC, “If it’s Sunday, it’s . . . John McCain.” Why don’t they simply let him host the show?

There’s a lot here that is worth your while.

The South Carolina primary is January 21, so from here on in, I guess it’s all South Carolina, all the time. Polling shows Mitt is rising, but Rick Santorum did pick up a key (for him) endorsement this weekend.
