Pundits are so damned lazy
"People don't know who Obama is"
"Obama can't close the deal"
Who IS Obama?"
"Why won't Obama admit he was wrong about the surge?"
"Obama's full of himself"
"Why can't Obama get above 50% in the polls?"
..................................

They rail about McClellan's disclosure about talking points to Fox, yet they do the same thing..ALL of them.. Every channel's worth of talking heads just sit around "analyzing" each other's talking points..

Most of these "shows" have an hour..Wolfie has more than an hour.. and yet they insist on filling that hour with too many "guests" who get too little time to talk about too much "stuff"...Most of the "guests" just coincidentally seem to have written a book, that is probably published by a network-family publisher, and during their appearance, more attention is paid to their book, than asnything of substance..

Any "host" could, if he/she wanted to, present a week-long informative , hour-long program with REAL experts, discussing ONE issue, from top to bottom, along with each candidate's stance on that issue....but they won't.

...................

Or they could devote some REAL time to defining each candidate...in depth..

But they won't.. because they need to SELL advertising time to these candidates and their fringe 527s, so they will not "give away the milk".. They serve as pot-stirrers, and little else..

1. They're all white noise. That's all. Just white noise. Like a fan or the dryer. nt

2. Just remember
These pilot fish don't exist unless people like Obama - and, yes, McSame - are out there actually DOING things. These are critics, the lowest form of humanity, if you want to be extremely generous and include them in the "humanity" category.

Pilot fish, remora, suckers, maggots. Ah, I could go on, but you get the idea.......................
