Great Moments in Political Punditry
Leave a Comment
(Every week political pundits grace us with gaffes, hyperbole, violation of logic and just plain untruths. Every week we try to catch them because we are smart alecks.)
Joe Scarborough is oblivious to his own F-bombs.
Being able to immediately forget what you just said is a quality found in many pundits, but Joe Scarborough takes it to a new level. Watch as he casually drops one of the dirtiest words in the English language, and then, without a hint of self-consciousness, denies that he did. (NSFW)
After the jump, find out what's missing from Chris Matthews' resume and how Hannity and Limbaugh are feeling these days.
Keith Olbermann is above your silly rituals of democracy.
Olbermann disappoints the women on "The View" by disclosing he doesn't vote, stating, "It is the only thing I can do to suggest I don't have a horse in the race." Actually, another thing he could do to prove his political independence is not be such a partisan hitman. Of course, that type of principled stance could have jeopardized the huge new payday he just got from MSNBC.
Chris Matthews never went to journalism school.
On "Morning Joe," Chris Matthews claims his main job is to make the Obama presidency successful. Which is ridiculous -- everybody knows it is Matthews' job to make us laugh with his Tourette's-like bloviation.
Rush and Sean will be OK.
A lot has been written about how tough last week's election must be on the Hannitys and Limbaughs of the world. While there surely is some disappointment in the land of right-wing talk, being in the opposition only makes an ideological pundit's job easier, and presents the potential for increasing audience share. Rush and Sean -- and their liberal counterparts -- live in a world of perpetual win-win, and that is why they are so much better than you or I.
