The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Greetings from 30 Rock! How much television history has happened within these
storied halls...the tingling sensation never goes away. Today, though, the
excitement is not from the big name guests in Studio 1A or the view from the
Top of the Rock, but the memories of David Shuster's wedding this weekend to
honorary Hardballer Julianna Goldman. The Mellon Auditorium was rocking to the
sounds of Free Spirit, but even better than the jazzy tunes was Chris Matthews
serenading the new couple with a special number. Here's a little taste of the
festivities, of course the Hardballers danced hardest and longest:

Tonight on Hardball, as the death toll continues to climb, will '08 bring an
Iraq pull-out for U.S. troops? The View's Rosie O'Donnell has been open with
her thoughts on Iraq, now with just three weeks left in her contract, O'Donnell
says she's done on the show after a heated war debate with co-host Elisabeth
Hasselbeck. Plus, the soon-to-be released Hillary Clinton biographies continue
to draw attention. And Miss USA booed at the Miss Universe competition? We'll
hash it all out with NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd and, Lynn Sweet of
the Chicago Sun-Times, and Newsweek's Howard Fineman, and later in the show,
Bob Herbert from the New York Times and MSNBC's Pat Buchanan.
Then, on what would have been the 90th birthday of the late John F. Kennedy,
1963 assassination continues to draw conspiracy theories. We'll talk about the
developments with David Talbot, author of "Brothers: The Hidden History of the
Kennedy Years" and Vincent Bugliosi, author of "Reclaiming History: The
Assassination of JFK." Plus, in the news today, the 2008 campaign - already in
full swing - is on track to strain the Secret Service like never before. We'll
ask our authors about the need for candidate protection.
