            The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------

Many headlines out of Washington this week, and tonight, we'll hit all the big 
news of the week.  Gas prices are up at the pump, Tony Snow is in at the White 
House, and Fitzgerald is back in Washington continuing the CIA leak 
investigation. Joining Norah O'Donnell this evening for Hardball is Chairman of 
the Democratic National Committee Howard Dean to discuss all the politics of 
the week.  

In a special feature this evening, we'll have two editions of Hardball Hot 
Shots.  First, our weekly roundtable of MSNBC hosts Rita Cosby, Tucker Carlson, 
and Joe Scarborough will join us to discuss Karl Rove's fifth appearance at the 
grand jury investigating the CIA leak, gas prices headed toward (or above) 
three dollars a gallon, and the White House makeover.

Then, we'll be joined by a separate panel of Celebrity Hot Shots, which tonight 
includes Creative Coalition's Joe Pantoliano (aka Joey Pants), and Actor, 
Director, and Producer Robert Wuhl (catch him in HBO's new comedy "Assume the 
Position with Mr. Wuhl").   

Be sure to stay tuned to MSNBC Saturday night as David Shuster will bring you 
the latest from the Beltway Prom, formally known as the White House 
Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel.  David will 
have red carpet arrivals, and we'll carry the President's speech and comedy 
from Stephen Colbert.

On Monday's Hardball, Chris Matthews is back and will be joined by 
Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, author of the new book "America Back on 
Track."
