Kilmer's Sunday Shows: "They don't know what hit them"

Mark Kilmer has his fresh Sunday Show Review up at RedState - he aptly summarizes the theme of the left's representatives (and hosts) as "They don't know what hit them".

What struck from his summary is this example of how Tom Brokaw is no Tim Russert:
On NBC's Meet the Press, moderator Tom Brokaw made the case that Sarah Palin is unprepared to be President by citing her mother-in-law. Governor Tim Pawlenty, who gave as good an interview as I've seen from him, deftly turned the question around on Obama. This raises the question of whether Tom Brokaw was prepared to step in to Tim Russert's role.

I remain grateful that Kilmer takes the time to do these summaries. Like Rush's stack of

The other stunning initial nugget was how Sen. Chris Dodd, D-CT, attempted to blame Hurricane Gustav on President Bush.

CHRIS DODD ON LE, Blitzer next spoke to Senator Chris Dodd, who was wild and repulsive in his attacks. Dodd accused the Bush Administration of murder, of "letting this city [New Orleans] drown three years ago." He said that McCain has "said repeatedly that he wanted to have four more years of the eight years of the Bush/Cheney Administration." He said that he hoped FEMA had learned its lesson, but he was concerned. He has no illusions, because Bush/Cheney had failed miserably.

John King asked him if he actually thought that McCain would have a four day party with Gustav destroying New Orleans. Dodd said that the only reason Republicans were talking about possibly cancelling their convention is that no one trusts Bush to handle it correctly. (No mention of Louisiana Governor Jindal's preparation and readiness compared to the cluelessness Kathy Blanco, or the learning curve of such as New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Jefferson Parish president Aaron Broussard.)
The gall. Dodd ran for the Democrat nomination this year, dropping out after finishing 7th in Iowa in January. Kilmer concludes:
A lot was made of Sarah Palin's inexperience, but the Republican guests turned this around to question Barack Obama's lack of same. Like Fred Thompson points out, this is not a winning strategy for the Dems and the media. Between this and a hastily-written, easily refutable, and absolutely sophomoric piece by Harris and Vendehei in Politico.com Saturday, I can see where the Dems and the media are trying to take this. It will be irritating, to be sure, and almost mind-numbing, but there is little way John McCain and Sarah Palin can lose this part of the game unless Barry dedicates more of his money than he can afford to pushing the meme and people resume absorbing and believing the narrative of the partisan media.
