The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up - Sayonara Sarah.
During former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's farewell speech, the GOP superstar
took parting shots at the media and big government. What does the future hold
for this popular pol? We'll ask MSNBC Chief Washington Correspondent Norah
O'Donnell, MSNBC Political Analyst Pat Buchanan and Former DNC Communications
Director and Democratic Strategist Karen Finney.

Next up - while President Obama addressed his critics on Friday by walking back
some of his earlier remarks about the Cambridge Police Department, the arrest
of Professor Gates remains controversial, spurring debate along racial,
generational and social lines. MSNBC Political Analyst Eugene Robinson and
MSNBC Contributor Jonathan Capehart will be here to analyze.

Plus - born in the U.S.A. The growing number of lawmakers who are calling
President Obama's citizenship into question has galvanized the debate on both
sides. We'll show you the latest comments and video and ask Newsweek's Howard
Fineman and Politico's Ken Vogel to discuss the political fallout.

And finally, in the Politics Fix, both Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and
Congressman Pat Murphy (D-PA) held rallies today calling for a repeal of the
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Here to analyze the impact of the debate, along
with the politics of Palin are MSNBC Political Analyst Michael Smerconish and
Jeanne Cummings, the Assistant Managing Editor for Politico.
