Light Blogging Today - CHECK UPDATE

Posted by Bill

I'll be at a conference for much of the day. If you're bored, please entertain yourself by answering me a question in the comments section of this post:

Who is the best political pundit on television?

I'll give you the correct answer when I get back ...

UPDATE: I want more guesses people - c'mon, just type in a name, you lazy bastards! Winner gets a super-special prize.

Jon Stewart of the The Daily Show. Doesn't everyone get their news from this show or is it just me?

well for sure it isn't Sean Hannity. man couldn't reach a logical conclusion with a map and a compass. the only reason he survives is that his opponent, Alan Colmes is so far off base that even Hannity looks intelligent

Tucker Carlson...if Jonah isn't making an appearence on CNN.

I'll show my fascistic leanings by mentioning two.
Tony Snow, at whom I'm still mad for leaving FoxNews Sunday.

And Brit Hume.

Neither will let some silly statement stand, by either a liberal or conservative.
My only beef with Brit Hume is that he's on opposite an hour of the Simpsons in the DC area. That cheeses me off.

Posted by: Veeshir at May 6, 2004 10:23 AM

Oh, and darn right Sean.

Hannity is a nitwit who only looks good next to Colmes.

He's combatative toward liberals and obsequious toward conservatives. I really hate his tone of voice when addressing some conservative.

Brit Hume has my vote

Posted by: Pete at May 6, 2004 10:33 AM

I like Brit Hume, Tony Snow, George Will, and Laura Ingraham but I'm leaning toward Charles Krauthammer. He's formidable.

Posted by: Jimmie at May 6, 2004 10:55 AM

Krauthammer. No question.

Alan Keyes hands down. His own show was dreadful, but when he is invited to speak on other shows, he shines.

If you posed this question in the style of the correct answer, it's John McLaughlin.

Is that who you aspire to become, Bill?

Posted by: Boyd at May 6, 2004 01:29 PM

Nope. Is that your guess, Boyd?!

(Though I have heard that McLaughlin does quite well with the laaaaaadies ...)

Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at May 6, 2004 01:34 PM

Krauthammer, Hume, or Fred Barnes.

Posted by: Chris at May 6, 2004 01:39 PM

Does Dennis Miller count? If not then I vote for Cartman.

Posted by: keggin at May 6, 2004 01:55 PM

While I have a few favorites, it doesn't seem to me that there's one that's head and shoulders above the contenders.

I'd have to vote for Hume as my favorite, I suppose. But the best? No clear winner.

Posted by: Boyd at May 6, 2004 01:55 PM

Dan Rather. Mutha so smooth you don't NOTICE he's punditing...

At least, the fiction is that you aren't supposed to notice.

Posted by: John Tant at May 6, 2004 02:39 PM

Victor Davis Hanson? If he jumped on top of his TV?

Posted by: willow at May 6, 2004 02:44 PM

I'm with Keggin. When Dennis Miller finds his groove, they will be no stopping him.

Posted by: Gordon at May 6, 2004 02:46 PM

John Stossel! (Okay, not technically a pundit, but I just like to say "John Stossel!")

Posted by: Dr. Kate at May 6, 2004 03:14 PM

Dick Morris, everybody! C'mon! He predicted Howard Dean's running before Howard Dean even knew he was running.

Posted by: Eric at May 6, 2004 03:47 PM

i don't have teevee, but i'm going with george will because he's one of my favorite written pundits and i know he's on tv sometimes

Posted by: francisthegreat at May 6, 2004 04:39 PM

Maybe I'm old school, but I can't get enough John McLaughlin.

Posted by: johnny blaze at May 6, 2004 04:47 PM

And here I thought I was going to be original... I was going to say the same as Tant above, or maybe Rather for the same reasons.

Posted by: Nony Mouse at May 6, 2004 05:31 PM

Michelle Malkin, hands down. Good-looking and devastatingly intelligent.
