Top 50 Pundits: Rove's Number 1
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWhat do you expect from guys who don't even know where to put the steering wheel? The UK Telegraph, today, unveiled the final 10 names on its 50 Most Influential Pundits list, and the erstwhile MC landed in the #1 spot. Dubbed the "architect" and "Bush's brain", Rove plotted to rise of George W Bush and departed the White House after the disastrous 2006 mid-term elections.

Rachel Maddow: Number 50 With a Bullet!
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs I reported earlier, The UK Telegraph is rolling out its list of the 50 Most Influential US Pundits, but I didn't have to go far to find my favorite, Rachel Maddow. From my 4/18/08 story (I don't know if it's tacky to quote yourself, but it sure sounds fun) : Rachel Maddow has a prepossessed quality that a lot of liberals lack, a way of stuffing an opponent and cutting to the chase while looking completely reasonable that has made her a popular contributor to MSNBC.
