And I’m sick to death of it and none of it’s funny. And I’m ashamed of how long I’ve done it. And I’m sad that no one can remember the shows I can remember, nor will many people remember the ones we’re doing now. And how the community turns over so quickly. And suddenly all the openings look…
Thank you, AFA, for providing yet another nail for your own coffin.

How is the AFA qualified to walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone dictate who should sit on the Supreme Court?
Talk about an inflated sense of self worth. Blow it out your ass, AFA!

“If a single move could restore civility to politics, that is it. Get rid of the left-vs.-right commentators who are just out scoring points for their team. This sort of opinion-mongering is not only boring and predictable, it is destructive of the truth. If your only credentials are “GOP shill” or “Democratic hack,” you’ve no business cluttering up the airwaves or the op-ed pages. My momma always told me that if you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s best to keep your mouth shut. That’s good advice.
Whom do we put in their place? I say replace the pundits with people who have genuine expertise — whether from their academic work, professional life or personal experience — on the key issues of the day. Instead of partisan talking heads or mad hatters from the “tea party” preaching their views on, say, health care and taxes, let’s hear from doctors and insurance professionals, or the number-crunchers from the Congressional Budget Office. They’re much better equipped to help viewers, listeners and readers wade through the facts, arguments and data.”
