Jfruser, that is a seriously scary picture. My vote goes for neither of them.
That being said, what commentators do you like?
SteveS:
I feared if I did the usual image link, some of our more frail & elderly readers might not be with us tomorrow.
I have had either no cable or hoopty* cable for the last five years. None of the cable news channels in my residence. Discovery channel is as exciting as it gets.
I do catch some bit of video on the net, however.
So, I doubt I am the best judge in these matters, anymore. My old favorite was Bob Novak on Crossfire. I loved the way he'd smile, just before going in for the kill. Prince of Darkness, indeed.
If we expand the role of commentator to radio folk, I liked G Gordon Liddy the best. I don't know if he even still has a show. I haven't been able to hear him in years.
The liberal commentators almost always suffered from a case of taking themselves & the world too seriously. Or, they all had a corn cob stuffed up their 4th point of contact. It was hard to tell which. My favorite of them was Bob Beckel. He had hte least amount of cob, I'd wager, and I bet he would be a good man to have on your side in a bar fight.
I'd give fistful's left kidney for a website to download all the old Bill Buckley Firing Line shows. Never has a man been so articulate while sounding like he had a mouth full of spighetti. To think that the man's father was a Texas oil man.
* The cable you can get for a net of $2. I already had/have a cable modem. To add the cheapest cable TV service is $12, but I get a $10 discount for already having the cable modem.
