The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Vice President Dick Cheney drops in on Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez
Musharraf to deliver the Bush Administration's message that it's time for them
to do more against Al-Qaida. Back in Washington, jury deliberations continue
in Scooter Libby's trial. Today, a juror was sent home for being exposed to
media coverage of the case over the weekend.
But first tonight, Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM) plays Hardball. The '08
presidential candidate was in town this weekend for the National Governors
Association meeting. Earlier today, Richardson met with President Bush at the
White House to discuss foreign policy and signed a climate pact with Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) and other governors.
