The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up - V.P vs. V.P!
Vice President Joe Biden took a shot at his predecessor this week, saying that
Dick Cheney is "dead wrong" in his criticism of the Obama administration. Was
this a smart move? We'll bring you the latest in this war of words with Salon's
Joan Walsh and David Rivkin, former George H.W .Bush Justice Dept. official.

Next up - America the Godless? As fewer Americans consider themselves
Christian, what will this shift mean for the political landscape? We'll ask
Vanity Fair columnist Chris Hitchens and the Family Research Council's Ken
Blackwell to debate that one.

(D-MA). We'll bring you the video - you don't want to miss this!
And are we facing a comeback of the culture wars? Vermont, Iowa and D.C. have
all taken recent steps to legalize gay marriage. Have we reached the cultural
tipping point? Is this debate about equality or morality? We'll ask Salon's
Joan Walsh and Joe Solmonese, President of Human Rights Campaign, to give us
their takes.
