I actually thought about getting together with the Ropers to compile a list of the worst political columnists. I did a poll on a prior blog and Ann Coulter was the winner. Salon beat me and made the Hack Thirty list.
The Top Ten
Richard Cohen
Mark Halperin
Thomas Friedman
David Broder
Marty Peretz
Marc Thiessen
Jonah Goldberg
Maureen Dowd
Laura Ingraham
Peggy Noonan
Alex Pareene gives a summery to the lowlights to all of the thirty columnists
I would say they forgot Erza Klein and Matty Y, but perhaps they don't have the following yet to qualify for big boy pants.
Personally, I think anyone whose career goal is writing about politics should be shot on sight. Factory workers produce goods, professors produce research, reporters produce news.. Pundits produce absolutely nothing.
