What pundit is the most annoying? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Wherever there's a conspiracy theory or controversy, political pundits are usually involved. Whether extremely left, extremely right, or extremely insane, these people get right in our faces.

So which of these do you hate the most?

James Carville is a Southern hick thug whose diction is so poor as to make his constant defamations virtually unitelligible. Definitely the most annoying and most obnoxious politico who is not a Democrat candidate for president.

Yeah, he's on some other station (910am, KNEW) here in the bay area, I think, though it could be the Sac station I am picking up at home... still it's 910, I have him preset in the truck (not sure what station), but I think it's around the 500s

Speaking of irritating, I witnessed an interview with Kerry the other day. Kerry was loud and monotone at the same time. He bellowed his answers as if he were in the grand canyon trying to communicate with a reporter on the opposite wall. Perhaps effective in a crowded hall filled with awed believers willing to set aside the obvious shortcomings of their candidate. But this hardly works for TV.

I hope Kerry does not get the Democrat nomination.

Sean Hannity.

The guy is the most hypocritical, obnoxious and rude person I've ever seen on TV (and he claims to be a Christian ) And after he asks a political opponent a question, he sits in the background making noises and snide comments as they try to answer. He makes O'Reilly look downright civil...

Here follows a comprehensive, unabridged list of the redeeming qualities of Ann Coulter:

1. The razor-sharp incisors and canines in her vagina have successfully prevented the shrill harpy from spawning.

2. There is no number two.

Ann Coulter - She's actually somewhat civil on TV albeit a partisan bomb thrower

Michael Moore - Got a Best Documentary Oscar for left wing propaganda, says alot about the Academy. Need proof of how annoying he can be? Consider that he effectively accused the white people on board those hijacked airliners (9/11) of cowardice.

Rush Limbaugh - pontificator who got caught and quite annoying

Al Franken - was funny, now the bitterness has taken over

Bill O'Reilly - Another clueless pontificator of morality and terribly thin skinned

Bill Maher - can get nasty, but in that business, par for the course

Tucker Carlson - He's annoying? Doesn't deserve to be on the list

Jesse Jackson - another pontificator who got caught

Robert Novak - very civil, not annoying

James Carville - Oh God, he would have been my pick if not for Sean Hannity

John McLaughlin - consistently annoying, but mild compared to many on the list

Paul Begala - another partisan hack, to quote Imus - he's such a liberal weenie

Alan Keyes - When this man speaks, God has spoken - yes, he can be annoying, but more consistent than the blatant partisans

Chris Matthews - very consistent, but yes, constantly interupts people

Matt Drudge - huh? Another one who shouldn't be on the list

I chose O'Reilly. For obvious reasons.

And what's with the lack of love for Al Franken? I *DARE* anyone to read "Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them" straight through without cracking many a smile. Just a fantastic book. Franken's one of my many heroes at the moment.

Other Pundits I Actually Can Stomach:
Tucker Carlson
James Carville
Paul Begala
Robert Novak

Eh, I guess the cast of CROSSFIRE is about it.

I've never read his books.

But I liked Franken on SNL. And while I disagree with his political views, he was fairly funny on his recent appearance on the tonight show. So he has redeeming value.

Michael Moore on the other hand. This guy has no clue. Does he even have any education. He seems to have a fundamental misunderstanding on how the world works. He seems to lack common sense. And he's not funny to make up for his lack of intelligence

Odin, Moore had an episode in his propaganda piece (Bowling For Colombine) where he received a gun for opening an account at a bank. He was shown in the bank with the gun and walking out. PROBLEM! The bank's offer required recipients to go thru background checks and then they would receive the gun thru the mail. MOORE LIED! And that wasn't his only lie in that film. Of course, I've learned recently that people like Moore can lie and get an Oscar for "best documentary" because many on the left call those lies "satire"... So here's the new math:

satire = deceit
satire = documentary
deceit = documentary

Given his proclivity for lies, how can you believe anything in his books? He's a PROPAGANDIST!

It's a gun-friendly state and you receive the gun after a background check. Moore misrepresented the offer by portraying it as if you walked in, opened an account and got the gun right in the bank.

I voted for the lying propogandist Moore, though it wasn't an easy choice given the competition. A few didn't deserve to be on the list, Novak is pretty polite and tame from what I've seen, regardless of whether one agrees with his views (and I usually don't). (Mahivishnu) John McLaughlin is obnoxious on his McLaughlin group show, but that is in part a comedic schtik that amuses me and my girlfriend. He seems tame in comparison to most on the list.

Limbaugh is an obnoxious a$smunch, as is Carville. Coulter is intellectually dishonest, but I don't find her as annoying on a talk show as some people do. I also have never fantasized about her vagina for good or ill, unlike some. Franken used to be funny, but partisan politics will suck your soul dry, and it seems to be happening to him. I find Bill Maher a pompous a$s, and was glad when they cancelled his crappy show.

Nope, Moore lies to make people look foolish and to promote his desire to outlaw guns, i.e., there are victims to his lies.

I don't know why Coulter is "winning" this poll, she is much more civil than a number of people on the list. I guess it has more to do with her politics than her manners or demeanor.
