The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
After President Bush's bashing of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) trip to
Syria, the editorial page of the Washington Post joins the attack. Meanwhile,
former Secretary of State Jim Baker, chairman of Iraq Study Group, writes today
that the president should follow the groups' recommendations. Is Bush
listening? And money may not grow on trees, but what about the internet? '08
contender Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) may agree. We'll have all this and more,
tonight on Hardball.
Up first, our Hardballers - Eugene Robinson from the Washington Post and radio
talk show host Michael Smerconish - will hash out the day in politics. Then,
what's really going on in Iraq? The Atlantic's national correspondent Bing
West leaves tomorrow for his 13th trip to Iraq since the war began. Before he
takes off for the war zone, he'll be here to play Hardball.
And we'll talk politics, money and the internet - and the effect of the later
two on '08 - with Democratic consultant Joe Trippi, and later in the show,
CNBC's John Harwood and Susan Page from USA Today.
Plus, journalist and author Christopher Buckley - who shed brutal light on
Washington lobbying with "Thank You for Smoking" - will stop by to give us a
preview of his new book "Boomsday."
