Worst Pundit of the Year? O'Reilly, Olbermann, Hannity and Colmes

As David pointed out, TIME's Person of the Year was really not too shocking, nor was it much of a contest. In fact, it amounts to such a non-news event that Political Machine has decided to take it upon ourselves to explore some more interesting categories than the catch-all "person" of the year. Who was the worst pundit this year? It was a heck of a year for bad punditry, but these four stand out to me as the obvious finalists. Bill O'ReillyLove him or hate him, he definitely can grab the spotlight with his on-air rantings. But this year, O'Reilly's most famous moment came from a widely ...

Why Christopher and Howe Should Be the Next Hannity and Colmes

Why Christopher and Howe Should Be the Next Hannity and Colmes

No sooner had David Knowles announced that Alan Colmes was leaving his semi-eponymous show, than Jay Allbritton was facetiously floating replacements.

I further propose ...

Bill Cunningham, Legend

By  David Knowles - Politics Daily
Bill Cunningham, Legend

Hey, here's a surprise. Sean Hannity loves fellow right-wing radio firebrand Bill Cunningham. The latter is a frequent guest on the former's show, after all. So neither Hannity, or co-host Alan Colmes, is really surprised by the vitriol Cunningham spewed at a John McCain rally yesterday. McCain, on the other hand, seems to have just woken up to the fact that the man he asked to warm up his audience in Ohio yesterday is, and always has been, an idiot. But hey, you go to war with the Army you've got. I guess Gallagher was already booked. Have a look at the woeful state of conservative punditry. ...
