Behold the punting punditry

Yesterday's "inevitable" HRC is today's "can she survive?"

Yesterday's "improbable" Huckleberry is today's "juggernaut"

Yesterday's "three way tie" Obama is today's "600 lb gorilla"

No one does hyperbole better than those who treat politics in general as a game show and politics on teevee as "Entertainment Tonight".

1. Hey! Right or wrong, they still get paid.

And oh how often they're wrong. Example: what would
happen in Iraq after El Presidente's glorious invasion.

3. I stopped watching these people.

I realized that I have been right more times than they have, so why listen to them. Of course I do get my information from DU so I have a clear advantage.
