TDS on pundits: "Who the F&%! is this guy?"

I'm behind on my Daily Shows, but I saw this a night or two ago, and I got a pretty big kick out of it - a not-so-subtle commentary on just how the 24-hour cable news networks fill up their time. It's to the point now that just about anyone can be a pundit or an expert on something.

And who's that guy? As Stewart tells us, he's Ed Rogers, a lobbyist and former protégé of Lee Atwater, the architect behind President George H.W. Bush's 1988 presidential campaign, one of the dirtiest in modern history. (On his death bed, Atwater expressed remorse for all of the tearing down and smearing he'd done over his political career.) In short, Atwater was Karl Rove before Karl Rove. So, it's a pretty safe bet that Ed Rogers is another intolerant Repube who's more than willing to spread lies, slander and defamation about Obama, all in the name of winning an election.
