Weekend Watchdog Wrap-up

The Sunday show hosts went 0-for-3, failing to ask any of our Weekend Watchdog questions.

Even though House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said on Fox News Sunday, "I'm not for benchmarks with artificial timelines, yanking funds, trying to ensure that there's failure in Iraq," host Chris Wallace did not then ask the obvious question -- did you vote to ensure failure in Somalia when you voted against funding for the Somalia operation?

On ABC's This Week, George Stephanopoulos did ask Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., about his likening of Miami to a "Third World country. But when Tancredo said "it's got nothing to do with race," Stephanopolous failed to ask him about his recent appearance with a hate group, singing "Dixie" amidst Confederate flags.

And on CBS' Face The Nation, Newt Gingrich was not challenged about how his narrow global warming prescription stacks up against the comprehensive solution backed in the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report.
