Sunday Show ScorecardBy KateH | October 19, 2009 Hello, ladies! It’s time for a surprise inspection for all our favorite Sunday shows! We’re dropping in to see how they’re managing without our weekly report. CJP likes to make sure women are well represented on the weekly shows. On with the inspection! First Place:
Chris is keeping up the good work over on CMS. Chris Matthews hosted Janes Helene Cooper of the New York Times and Kelly O’Donnell of NBC news along with The Atlantic’s Andrew Sullivan and HDNet’s Dan Rather. Two of four is good enough for first place…Congratulations, CMS! Second Place
Meet the Press hosted California First Lady Maria Shriver, Senior White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett, Sen. Chris Dodd, Sen. John Kyl, and John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress on this week’s show. Two Janes earns MTP a Jane and second place this week. Good job MTP! Tied for Last Place
Chris Wallace hosted Sen. Kent Conrad, Sen. Arlen Specter, Sen. John Thune, Terry McAuliffe former Chair of the Democratic Party and Karl Rove former Senior Adviser to President George W. Bush. Not a Jane in the bunch so that puts Chris and FNS in last place. Â
George Stephanopolous hosted White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod. Not a Jane but we will give George a little credit for at least including one Jane in his roundtable panel.
Bob Scheiffer hosted White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Sen. John Cornyn, and Sen. John Kerry on Sunday morning. As most of you know, we at CJP are very fond of Bob and consider him our Sunday boyfriend. Needless to say, we’re disappointed, Bob. |

Sunday Show Scorecard: September 6, 2009By admin | September 7, 2009 Did you miss us? This week we bring a back a favorite CJP feature: the Sunday Show Scorecard! Check out our your favorite Sunday shows stacked up against the competition this week, and whether they’re really representing the Janes.
Two Janes for the Chris Matthews Show this week, which hosted four guests: BBC’s Katty Kay, CNN’s Gloria Borger, the Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson, and TIME Magazine’s Michael Duffy. A great lineup of diverse perspectives — including two women. We approve! Two Janes, and once again CMS is winning the Sunday Show Scorecard.
Fox News Sunday had two panels yesterday. The first panel discussed healthcare with Gov. Howard Dean, Former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Center for American Progress’ John Podesta, and Senator Lamar Alexander. A healthcare panel of all men? We think healthcare is a women’s issue too! In their second panel, Fox News hosted Bill Kristol, Mara Liasson, Stephen Hayes, and Juan Williams. One Jane for you guys this week — but one extra-credit Jane because a Fox News producer reached out to CJP and asked about our ranking system. We love that you guys care!
On This Week, George Stephanopoulos hosted a a panel on healthcare (what else?) consisting of former Senate Majority leaders Tom Daschle and Bob Dole, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), chairman of the House Republican Conference and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs also made an appearance. We’re glad to see Maxine Waters representing the Janes, but that’s still only one Jane!
Meet The Press really let us down this week. Their roundtable this week included a lot of all-star men, but no women! Panelists were: New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, NBC’s Tom Brokaw, White House senior adviser David Axelrod, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and former Rep. Harold Ford. We were disappointed to see MTP couldn’t find a single woman for their panel. No Janes!
Our Sunday boyfriend, Bob Schieffer, hosted only one guest this week: Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who talked about President Obama’s address to children, fixing America’s schools, and the H1N1 virus. Sorry Bob — no Janes!

NY Event: Personal Democracy ForumBy Nisha | June 23, 2009 As you’ve probably noticed from the last post, we’ve been a little swamped! But we wanted to sneak in a quick post about Personal Democracy Forum, a very cool conference coming up June 29 & 30 in New York City. The conference, themed “We.gov,” is one of the largest conferences examining innovations in technology, politics, social media, and civic engagement. The conference features some great speakers:
We know it’s short notice, since the conference is a week away, but if you’re in New York and can spare a day or two, it promises to be an exciting event. And if you’re reading this post right now you can get a $100 discount on your registration by using the coupon code CitizenJane at registration. Registration is located at http://bit.ly/Pdf2009CJ.

Where to find us…By admin | June 18, 2009 Hello our beloved Janes! As you’ve certainly noticed, the ladies at CJP have been a little tied up lately. Both Patricia and Nisha have gone and gotten j-o-b-s, just a little sumpin’ sumpin’ to pay the bills. We’ll check in and post as often as possible, but if you’re ever looking for us, you can find Patricia every day writing a column called “The Capitolist” at Politics Daily, and we’ll let you know how to find Nisha as soon as the news is ready to hatch. Back soon, ladies… |

Monday Morning JaneBy CJP | April 27, 2009
Here’s what’s happening in Washington, on CJP, and around the world. Come back to CJP this week for updates to the ”White House Watch” section, an important message from Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and anything else you need for your friends to say as you leave the table, “Why aren’t we that smart?” Top Domestic Story: Sooooweeeeee! The Swine Flu, the nasty virus with a scary name, has infected 20 people in America and more than 1600 in Mexico, Spain, New Zealand and elsewhere. The U.S. government declared a “public health emergency,” but added that there’s no absolutely, positively reason to panic. [USA Today] Top International Story:  Ostensibly to avoid a pandemic, a European Union official has issued a warning to avoid all non-urgent travel to areas hit by the Swine Flu…..including the U.S.! A CJP note to Europeans: Come on over, we feel fine. [BBC] Sen. Dianne Feinstien, the top Dem on the Intelligence Committee, has called for a full Congressional investigation into the treatment of detainees at American prisons, but wants people to take the rhetoric down a notch. “We need to find these things out and we need to do it in a way that’s calm and deliberative and professional.” [CNN] “The New York Times” has a massive piece on Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, including links to his daily schedule, with the implication that Geithner was too close to the club when it came to regulating Wall Street. If we have an hour to read the whole thing, we’ll tell you how it is, but in the meantime, read it for yourselves HERE. The Salt Police have arrived in New York, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his health department are meeting with foodmakers and restaurant owners to reduce the amount of salt in foods like soup, bread and pasta.  As long as this doesn’t affect chocolate-covered pretzels, we’re fine with it. [AP via Washington Times] As reporters of all stripes evaluate President Obama’s first 100 days, CJP’s Patricia Murphy has done the same for NBC’s Chuck Todd over at Politics Daily. His obsessed fans, the “Chuckolytes,” give him high marks, and might even give us the creeps if they weren’t all so friendly and otherwise normal. This feels like rewarding bad behavior, but we pass it along because we’re apparently not immune to sinister media plots. [US Magazine] |
Good morning, Janes! It’s Monday, April 27th, day 98 of the Obama administration, and day 36 of Candy Spelling’s book tour for “Stories from Candyland.”| Next |
