Pundit class shows its hypocrisy in Peggy Noonan's slip up on Palin and Limbaugh's praise of McCain

The most popular clip on YouTube today says everything about what is classified as political punditry or expert analysis.

The dispensers of both are hypocrites, used car salesmen, carnival pitchmen, Marsha Blackburns without elective office. And the unmasking of Ronald Reagan's heart and soul speechwriter Peggy Noonan confirms these contentions.

Noonan was on MSNBC before Gov. Sarah Palin's speech last night with Mike Murphy, the man behind the machine that is Gov. Arnold of California. On the air, the two pundits made nice about Palin and what to expect from her speech that night.

But then the truth intervened when the microphones for the pair were left on after MSNBC broke from the spot. Noonan was caught calling the choice of Palin as VP "bullshit and the McCain campaign as being over.

She lied to the American people like Reagan did as president when it came to selling arms for hostages in the Iran-Contra scandal.

Today, Noonan tried to rationalize away her hypocrisy with the following addition to her column for The Wall Street Journal. Be sure you haven't just eaten before reading it.

As far as a credible source for political analysis, Noonan's days should be over. The Wall Street Journal should drop her column. And no TV network should use her anymore.

Political pundits invited to comment on matters involving their own political party should be removed from TV networks. They are not there to provide fair analysis; they're on hand to convince the people to drink the Kool-Aid they wouldn't dare try.

On FoxNews tonight, radio talk show entertainer Rush Limbaugh had nothing but praise for Sen. John McCain, a man who he earlier this year damned for not being conservative enough or at all. Rush predicted the downfall of the Republican Party.

Tonight, however, Limbaugh lauded McCain's story of his captivity and putting America first -- even though that same story and cause were known when the entertainer was roasting the senator several months ago.

Democratic pundits can be just as bad, but not shockingly caught on tape like Noonan. I had the opportunity to interview James Carville the day before the 1996 presidential vote. He was in Nashville and had taken over the seat of the party chairman in his office on West End.

Carville was sarcastic and swarmy. He avoided questions. And I felt like taking a shower after I left the state Democratic Party office.

The people of this nation deserve better than this "bullshit" -- thank you, Peggy Noonan -- being constantly fed them on television. The news media should free itself of these hypocrites and try and deliver something closer to fair and unbiased analysis.
