Sunday’s Breakfast Menu, March 23

By Sarah Wheaton

If you like your Easter eggs over easy, then stick to painting them with your children. This Sunday’s talk show menu is filled with heavy topics like the economy and the war in Iraq.

On ABC, “This Week” will feature Senators Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, and Jon Kyl, Republican of Arizona, to talk about the economy, and Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican of Nebraska, will promote his new book, in which he is critical of the White House’s handling of Iraq and calls for the rise of a third party.

The CBS program “Face the Nation” will feature two members of the Senate Armed Services Committee: Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island, and Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, who just came off a “fact-finding” trip overseas with Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

“Fox News Sunday” has Lawrence Summers, the former Treasury secretary in the Clinton administration (and former Harvard president), and Glenn Hubbard, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. Also appearing will be two Democratic governors — Edward G. Rendell of Pennsylvania, a supporter of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Bill Richardson of New Mexico, a former Clinton administration official who just endorsed Senator Barack Obama.

Wolf Blitzer has a whole basketful of guests on CNN’s “Late Edition.” There will be an economy and Iraq segment with Senators Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, and Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon. Mowaffak al-Rubaie, Iraq’s national security adviser, is booked, and there’s another economic segment with Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform and Laura Tyson, a Clinton administration economic adviser. There are, of course, candidate surrogates: Gov. Janet Napolitano, Democrat of Arizona, for Mr. Obama and Senator Evan Bayh, Democrat of Indiana, for Mrs. Clinton.

“Meet the Press” on NBC is taking the holiday easy with a pundit panel.

1. Schumer has a nerve

He's taken one heck of a load of dough from banking. Now he's going to lecture, to inform. Like he cares. Meh.
