Talking heads

I've just been watching the McLaughlin Report, which is filmed on Friday for broadcast on Sunday, and it's just amazing how wrong these "pundits" can get it. They're all talking about how the Party is coalescing behind McCain, burying it's hatchets, and striding forth strong and powerful to defeat the Democrats in November.

They obviously didn't have an inkling what would happen yesterday. Somehow, I wouldn't call that a sign of a united party enthusiastically backing its presumptive nominee.

Why do we listen to these people?

In the case of the McLaughlin Report, the only reason I listen is to watch Eleanor beat up on all those old conservative farts. It's great fun.
