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 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (ABC's This Week): Your communications director sought to facilitate the attacks on SCHIP recipient 12-year-old Graeme Frost and his family, by encouraging reporters to run stories based on flawed information pushed by conservative bloggers.

Were you directly involved in the smear campaign against the Frost family? And will you fire your communications director for his role in the attack?

For House Minority Leader John Boehner (Fox News Sunday): You keep saying you want a bipartisan compromise for SCHIP.

But the bill that Bush vetoed is a bipartisan compromise supported by 45 House Republicans and 18 Senate Republicans.

Why won't you support a bipartisan compromise and vote to override Bush's veto?

For Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. (CBS' Face The Nation): In the last presidential debate, you said that military action against Iran is "maybe closer to reality than we are discussing tonight."

Elaborating in a blogger conference call, you said: "many experts on Iranian nuclear buildup believe the Iranians, within two years sufficient fissile material to develop a nuclear weapon... I have no reason to think it isn’t true."

But the head of the International Atomic Energy Assocation, and Noble Peace Prize winner, Mohamed ElBaradei said earlier this month:

...I don't see Iran, today, to be a clear and present danger. And our conclusion here is supported by every intelligence assessment I've seen that even if Iran has ambitions to develop nuclear weapons [which it denies], it's still three to eight years away from that. We need to continue to do robust verification. But we do not need to hype the issue. What we need right now is to encourage the moderates in Iran.

Isn't it repeating the mistake with Iraq to hype the issue and ignore the assessment of the IAEA inspectors?
