Poll question: Vote here: Is David Broder the biggest inside-the-Beltway turd of all time?
His latest predictable effort, "Getting to Know Obama": http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/20/AR2008062002275.html. No need to excerpt from it. It's the same crap as all the rest of his tiresome punditry.

Of course he will shill for McCain for the next three months. He wouldn't be David Broder if he didn't. But he has no clue - none - as to what is taking place in the rest of America. So please vote.

1. Kicked to solicit comment.
The problem with polls is that they don't get bumped by merely voting.

Of course, maybe there is nothing else to say.

2. the best thing about his columns are the comments from readers, usually dead on
and hilarious, he gets his ass kicked by the readers.

3. In a world with Brooks, Negorny, and Novak
The verdict is literally still out.

4. Don't forget Michael Gerson. Another GOP shill at the Post.
They are loaded up with them.

5. I believe that honor has now been bestowed upon Karl Rove...
of course since he is on FOX, maybe that should be an automatic disqualification;)

6. I think in this particular category, which IMO excludes the Hannitys, Coulters, and O'Lielys

Broder is not even in the top THREE, maybe FIVE.

#1 - Russert - he fooled more people, even liberals well to the left of me, that he was a great journalist when he was a barely closeted Bushie who was so transparent and one-sided it boggled the mind.

#2 - Charlie Gibson - need I say more?

#3 - Brian "no one ever listens to Rush's people" Williams (naturally he WILL be selected as Timmeh's successor)

Just what fucking country was Williams living in during the Phony Clinton Impeachment? No one listens to them? They only comprised 33% of the nation but they took us on Mr. Bushie's Wild Ride for a year over a blowjob.

Williams is a grotesque hack, typical Russert "jornalism" and I expect him to take over right where Timmeh! left off. Softballs for Bushies, follow-up questions and pretending to be a journalist for Democrats, the more Left they are the more he'll pretend.

He is, in fact, the PERFECT replacement for Timmeh! and I don't give a damn if he is on the Daily Show every week...it changes nothing.

Broder sukcs, no doubt about, but the very WORST? That's a pretty big field to choose from, and they ALL (with a few notable exceptions) stink like garbage pickup day in a big city during July.
