------------------------------------------------------ The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC ------------------------------------------------------
Hello Hardballers... The bombshell book has landed. George Tenet gives his side of the story of the run-up to war in At the Center of the Storm http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18357494/. Tonight on "Hardball" we lead off with an excerpt of Tom Brokaw's interview with the former CIA director. And we'll get a debrief on the today's fallout from the book from Hardball's David Shuster. Then on to NBC's David Gregory, who interviewed White House Press Secretary Tony Snow today. This is Snow's first day back at work more than a month after he announced his cancer had returned. We'll have a portion of that interview, in addition to an update from David Gregory, who'll be at the White House North Lawn. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18394515/ Coming up this Thursday, Chris Matthews moderates the GOP Presidential candidates debate, sponsored by MSNBC, Politico.com and the Reagan Library. And today, Chris will talk to Politico.com's John Harris for a preview of the debate, and to tell you how you can ask your questions live on Politico.com. Then we add Newsweek's Howard Fineman and The Washington Post's Lois Romano, for a round up of the hot political news, including the Tenet book, the war bill and whether the GOP's future is tied to the Iraq war. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18401521/ Our Hardballers tonight are radio talk show host and MSNBC political analyst Ron Reagan and the Washington Times' Tony Blankley. They'll talk about the coming showdown between Bush and the Congress, plus the jockeying for position among the 08ers. And of course, a look ahead to Thursday night's debate. We finish the show with a big interview with music mogul Russell Simmons, whose new book is "Do You: 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success." http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9781592402939,00.html He'll be right here on set with Chris. It's another big show you won't want to miss. ========================================= This e-mail is never sent unsolicited.
