If there is one group of humans that deserves to be taken down a peg or two, it's pundits. Who are these people? What makes them so special. Occasionally, the pundit you're watching is a highly educated person, an expert in his or her field. More often, they're just a semi-familiar face, somebody who can jibber jabber on any subject, and sound like they've said something.
FOX "News" has a whole stable of them, and will trot them out for any subject, whether the pundit knows anything about it or not. Why else would Ann Coulter show up on so many of their shows on such a wide variety of topics. She's a lawyer. What does she know about business, gay rights, or "B. Hussein Obama?" Worse, there is no punishment for a pundit if he or she is wrong. Repeatedly. Even all the time, if the pundit in question is Bill Kristol.
Anyway, enough preamble. Here is Comedy Central's take:
