(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.)

Red Eye makes O'Reilly and Olbermann more interesting than they really are.
Greg Gutfeld, along with his merry band of "Red Eye" pranksters, stepped right into the middle of the ratings bonanza that is the Olbermann/O'Reilly feud when they bleeped out a joke referencing Bill O'Reilly's green room marijuana stash. This prompted Olbermann to accuse O'Reilly of censoring the Fox News show. Only to have Gutfeld respond that the decision to bleep was his alone, before launching into another heavily bleeped explanation of Olbermann's own sketchy, drug-fueled habits.

Lots and lots of chit-chat on shoe chucking, after the jump.

Shoe chucker is just another angry pundit.
To some, journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi's dual shoe attack was an act of great defiance. To others, it was the day the world learned George W. Bush is part cat. Yet we can't help but view the bizarre attempted assault as an exercise in extreme political punditry. In fact, we'd go as far as saying al-Zaidi is the angriest pundit on TV who isn't named Lou Dobbs.

Hasselbeck's invite was lost in the mail.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck is extremely upset that she was not invited to the White House Christmas party despite her years of shilling for the Bushes. On the other hand, the new administration seems hard at work keeping their press shills happy -- "Time" magazine's Washington bureau chief and prominent talking head Jay Carney was just named Joe Biden's communications director.

Hall and Oates serenade newly single Alan Colmes.
He may have suffered years of abuse at the hands of his helmet-headed counterpart, but this Philly soul send-off should make it all worth while for Fox's token liberal.
