Weekend Watchdog

Every Friday in our Weekend Watchdog feature, we post suggested questions for scheduled Sunday guests. You can add your own questions in the comment thread. We'll also include contact information for the shows, so we can let them know what their viewers want asked.

And on Sunday at 4 PM ET, tune in to Air America Radio's "Seder on Sundays" program, where I'll offer the Weekend Watchdog Wrap-Up.

For National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair John Ensign, R-Nev. (ABC's This Week): When Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, was snared by a sex scandal, senate Republicans moved to launch investigations, strip him of committee assignments and (successfully it appears) pressure him to resign.

But when Sen. David Vitter, R-La., was snared by a sex scandal, Senate Republicans rallied around and showered him with applause.

Why did your party treat the two differently? Is because Craig is apparently gay and Vitter is not? Or is it that Craig would likely be replaced by a Republican, and Vitter a Democrat?

For White House counselor Ed Gillespie (Fox News Sunday): Two central figures in the Prosecutor Purge scandal, Karl Rove and Alberto Gonzales, resigned as evidence of their involvement mounted.

But the White House has yet to fully explain how and why prosecutors ended up on the purge list.

Is the White House trying to sweep the scandal under the rug by having the central figures resign?

For Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. (CBS' Face The Nation): The General Accountability Office draft report on Iraq, which found that 15 of 18 benchmarks of political and military progress have not been met, was leaked to the Washington Post because of fears that "its pessimistic conclusions would be watered down in the final version -- as some officials have said happened with security judgments in this month's National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq."

Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Ca., said when congresspeople visit Iraq they get lost in the "Green Zone fog ... It’s death by powerpoint ... It’s always that their argument is winning."

And seven American soldiers recently wrote in the New York Times that: "The claim that we are increasingly in control of the battlefields in Iraq is arrived at through a flawed, American-centered framework ... a vast majority of Iraqis feel increasingly insecure. They view us as an occupation force that has failed to produce normalcy and is increasingly unlikely to do so as we arm each warring side."

With the credibility of the White House in shambles, and soldiers on the ground undermining White House spin, why should Americans believe that the so-called "surge" is helping to stabilize Iraq?
