Political Wire

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has scheduled a “full Ginsburg” for Sunday.

Playbook: “If completed, Manchin will be only the 31st newsmaker to accomplish the feat since Feb. 1, 1998, when William Ginsburg, the lawyer for Monica Lewinsky, first appeared on all five Sunday morning talk shows. Since then, the full Ginsburg has generally been reserved for top government officials during extraordinary news events. The last person to run the gauntlet of all five shows was Anthony Fauci in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020.”

1. My, aren't we full of ourselves............

2. To be fair, you can't book yourself onto a show.

They either want you, or they don’t.

3. True, that.

6. And you either accept or don't

No one is forcing him to appear.

11. Is there a reason he shouldn't?

[FoxNewsSucks]

15. Not at all,

he needs plenty of time to explain why he's obstructed Democrats, the Democratic Party, Democratic policy and our Democratic President for the last 18 months.

His gracious condecension of allowing us one weakened thing doesn't erase all that.

17. Not my decision to make

It's up to him whether he accepts or not.

[rsdsharp]

14. True, but I can only think of one politician who turned down

national interviews. And they drummed him out of the Senate.

attention (and after having the nerve to not include her in the loop on the new bill), why she might just nuke it out of spite.

Of course I'm joking, I think, but there's always a thought in the back of the mind of what her wackadoodle, DINO-leaning sensibilities will produce.

16. that's why it might be her turn to torpedo something.

She can get some attention.

8. The King needs to add a few psi to his ego.

9. Will they grill him on why he double crossed the poor republicans?

[Bettie]

10. Please don't let this be the announcement

of how he's reconsidered and isn't backing squat anymore.

I get twitchy about this guy....

12. We need to worry more about Sinema than him, imo.

She’s a snake in the grass.

13. I'm hoping there might be on R with a concience

even though I know such a thing doesn't exist.

I really want this to go through, but I'm having a hard time believing right now.
