I tell you, liberals get no respect on the Sunday shows. I wish I could make a joke of it, but how funny is it to see Dick Cheney getting the red carpet treatment on Fox News and Jim DeMint swaggeringhis kingmaker status on two shows? The joke is on us when Michele Bachmann gets another chance to give us her revisionist American history. It's Labor Day weekend, so Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa gets a chance to speak for American workers. Of course, that's just one show. We're also coming up on the anniversary of 9/11, so what better people to talk terrorism than Joe Lieberman, Mike Rogers and the brother of Maj. Hasan, the Ft. Hood shooter? I tell you, we get no respect.

ABC's "This Week" - Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.; Nader Hasan, cousin of Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, who's accused in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas.

NBC's "Meet the Press" - Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.

NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show" - Panel: Katty Kay, John Heilemann, Rick Stengel, Helene Cooper. Topics: Is Perry Like Reagan, The Westerner Who Can Defeat The Establishment Romney? In Bad Economic Times, Would Perry's Far Right Rhetoric Get Overlooked?

CBS' "Face the Nation" - Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, both 2012 GOP presidential candidates.

CNN's "State of the Union" - DeMint and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich.; Teamsters President James Hoffa.

CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS" - Nicholas Kristoff and Sheryl WuDunn, Zainab Salbi.

"Fox News Sunday" - Former Vice President Dick Cheney.

So what's catching your eye this morning?
