2. As in most cases, should-hood is shit-hood

In the field of punditry, 'fail' is no impediment to their continued presence in print or on the airwaves. Their usefulness lies in their ability to get the propaganda in front of as many eyes as possible - truthfulness be damned.

3. Of course, but...

their main use is to bring in Television ratings and sell Newspapers

4. Should the cheerleaders of athletic teams resign because

their teams are losers? Of course not.

5. Preferably shot at dawn, but first you have to...

define "proven useless". Nobody gets it right all the time, but I prefer to see punditry as not giving us answers but pointing to the right questions.

Pretty much anyone on the three cable news networks too many here are addicted to is by definition useless, but other venues have people with decent averages.

6. But Bushies always got promoted the bigger their mistakes.

I think Rove and Co. will back the biggest and worst fabricators with enough $$$ to keep them in business for the next decade. In fact, there will probably be more of them and they'll all be fighting to make the goofiest predictions. Rove and his backers prefer all this misinformation, they're pros at it; they've been doing it all their lives AND it pays dividends to him and the uninformed voters who eat misinformation up.

7. I think Mitt Romney, Sean Hannity, and Glen Beck should all have to go live on some desert island

together for the next 4 years. They can Bring Paul Ryan along as a mascot.

8. Hah - Republicans on a Deserted Isle - a new reality series

Starring: Mitt, Ryan, Rush, Hannity, Beck etc
Watch em all self destruct
