The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up - Rand Paul overdrive!
It's Day Two of damage control for the Republican Senate candidate from
Kentucky. He's still trying to walk back comments about the 1964 Civil Rights
act. Thing is - he didn't help his cause much today by adding that President
Obama's criticism of British Petroleum is "un-American." Is Paul's candidacy in
trouble? We'll ask the Chicago Tribune's Clarence page and the Politico's
Jonathan Martin to weigh in.
Next - BP announced today that the effects of the oil still in the gulf are far
worse than they had previously estimated. We'll explore the politics and
morality of protecting the environment with Sojouner's Jim Wallace.
Also, the Texas Board of Education is expected to vote to make their mark on
the history books - literally. And it just so happens that those books will be
the templates of textbooks used around the country. We'll debate the issue with
the Dallas Morning News's Wayne Slater and NAACP President Benjamin Jealous.
Finally, what's up with the Republican Class of 1994? Turns out Congressman
Mark Souder (R-IN) is just one of many from that group to end up involved in
scandal. We'll take a look at where that Class of 1994 is now with the
Washington Post's Chris Cillizza and Melinda Henneberger from PoliticsDaily.com
And Chris had a moment with comedian Chelsea Handler on "The Tonight Show" last
night. We'll bring you the tape on the Hardball Sideshow. Don't miss it!
