It's not as suspenseful as the Valentine brothers' choices, but here are my votes:

1. Bill Clinton; 2. Janeane Garofalo; 3. John Conyers; 4. Nancy Pelosi; 5. Peter Arnett; 6. Michael Moore; 7. Eason Jordan and CNN; 8. Scott Ritter; 9. Susan Sarandon; 10. Tim Robbins.

Thanks for the link Exit148. Peter Jennings gets an F. :-)

Angelwood, is it to late to add Peter Jennings to the list?

• Grading the Anchors: All of the network anchors received high grades except for the highly tendentious Peter Jennings, who played up any defeatist angle he could find.

Five days before Baghdad fell, Pentagon reporter John McWethy warned, “This could be, Peter, a long war.” Jennings felt vindication: “As many people had anticipated.”

How did I miss this?

On the other hand, ABC’s Ted Koppel spent his time pontificating as if he — not the vast military force that surrounded him — was the real star. “Forget the easy victories of the last twenty years; this war is more like the ones we knew before,” he announced at the end of Nightline on March 24. “Telling you if and when things are going badly for U.S. troops, enabling you to bear witness to the high cost of war, is the hard part of our job,” he promised viewers, “We’ll do our very best to give you the truth in the hope and the belief that you can handle it.”

Oh yeah, now I remember, now that I have FNC, I don't watch this crap passing as journalism any more.
