Who is your least favorite Liberal pundit?

[liberal democrat]

Mine is Alan Colmes. Why is such a smart guy, so timid next to the putz Hannity who is so bigoted and uninformed.

A second would be Randi Rhodes. She just seems over-the-top, whinny and uneducated.

1. Colmes

Why was Colmes picked?
Hannity knows Colmes is a moderate and isn't the type that defends himself or his party easily. To be fair to Colmes, I did think he was pretty good when Mary Landrieu was on the show because he did try to point out Sean Hannity's disgusting hypocrisy.

2. Bill Maher

I'm really disappointed with Bill Maher. He's so good until the going gets tough, and then he jumps ship. I've had it with him.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

12. Maher doesn't even identify himself as one of us.

He's a "libertarian", although he does come off as "liberal" to some.

I really don't understand why you'd be concerned with him as he "jumps ship", considering he was never truly on this ship to begin with.

[sonicx]

13. I've heard him call himself a liberal a few times...

He seems big on civil liberties, but not the 'no tax' stuff.

3. Colmes, definitely

Rhodes actually seems quite educated. She always seem very up on current events, and when something goes down, she usually has a point of reference to back up her claims. Plus, she was in the Air Force and can talk military speak to shut up the right-wing militia types.

But, yeah, she can get very over-the-top.

4. and LOUD! Yes, Randi Rhodes speaks in VERY LOUD

tones, with strings of sentences all strung together. "Over-the-top" you say? How kind of you. heh.

5. Randi Rhodes??????

Randi Rhodes rocks!!!!!

[angee_is_mad]

16. Randi Rules!!!

I wish more dems had her passion!

[gumby]

6. There are "liberal" pundits?

Where?

[benddem]

7. Colmes is great

on his own program on radio left on Sirius. I find myself wondering what happens to him with Hannity.
Give Randi a chance...she may be uneducated but she's really smart. She knows how and where to research. She rarely has a fact wrong. I get irritated though when another liberal calls and she doesn't agree with their ideas...she gets just as snarky with them as she does conservative wing bats.

8. Joe Klien 's a wuss..

Probably not liberal either.

9. back when i used to watch faux news to get angry

Susan estrich

Pat caddell


I think they invented the new term neo-liberal.

[Hello_Kitty]

10. Why do you think she is uneducated?

You may not care for her style, which is completely your prerogative, but she is very well informed. Her lack of a fancy schmancy degree from an elite university may make her stand out from the herd of political pundits, but that's precisely what a lot of her listeners find refreshing and encouraging. But that's just my take on her.

[Mist]

11. Colmes has all the passion of a neutered gerbil

But I usually enjoy Maher. When did he jump ship?

[jdots]

14. Is Colmes even there on the Hannity Show ?

does he take thorazine to be able to sit next to that flapping mouth turd worm ? Face it,the media doesn't let anyone left of
Olly North speak thier mind and show some guts.

[gordianot]

15. Franken

I have listened to 3 of his shows via streaming audio. Very unimpressed. He is fading fast for me. This is from someone who has bought several of his books hard cover. I loved him on his speech circuit. What a disappointment.

[liberal democrat]

17. I noticed too that Franken has gotten a bit dry.

Honestly, I feel there just is not that much news to cover. The congress is not in session, and because Kerry lost, we can't have the fun debates over who he should nominate for the various cabinet posts.
Once the GOP rolls out their agenda, he and the others should be more interesting as they will have a lot to say.

[Swamp Rat]

18. Colmes is a bad actor, that's all.

Good luck with your Randi bashing "liberal democrat."

[gumby]

19. A "pundit" is someone

who is on the mainstream's roster and who appears regularly to present the "liberal" point of view. I contend there aren't any.

Franken may have the most visibility, but he is seen more as a "celebrity" than a "pundit." You don't see him on any of the Sunday shows as a regular, do you?

Colmes and Randi are not "pundits" either. Colmes appears on TV as Hannity's foil and Randi - while making scattered and few TV appearances - is a radio host. Neither are "pundits."

There are NO "liberal pundits" that appear regularly on any TV network to present the "liberal" perspective.

edited to enter "TV" because that is essential in the deffinition of "pundit." Even the print "pundits" appear regularly on TV.

[liberal democrat]

25. Excuse me.

I should have said liberal commenator not pundit.

20. Donna Brazille. I also wasn't impressed with Paul Begala when Stewart was

on crossfire.

He was pissing me off just a little bit.

[Swamp Rat]

21. That embarrassment named Donna Brazille is from my home town...

which REALLY pisses me off!

I saw that Crossfire episode (the ONLY one I've watched this year) with Jon Stewart. It's too bad Jon didn't give Begala a verbal black eye like he did the bow tie twit... then again, I was quite satisfied with watching Jon give CNN the big:

[AP]

22. I LOVE this post.

You agree with me, which is something that will always make me happy. But that sentiment plus that picture. Brilliant.

[jpgray]

24. Donna Brazille is less than worthless--she's positively damaging

Her little knife-between-the-shoulderblades statements are really wearing thin.

[genieroze]

23. Now it's Franken, that pussy! eom
