There is a lot moaning, groaning, and gnashing of teeth coming from the lefties these days. They are battering Barack Obama like a piñata; but just a few months ago they proclaimed him to be the Messiah, a Savior, a combination of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King, a sort of god, and even, according to Chris Matthews, "...the last Kennedy brother." (Why Matthews thinks this is a compliment is mystery to me, but there you have it.) This is mostly just about the oil spill, but at least the scales seem to be falling from their adoring...

The 2nd Round is over and only the most snotty, annoying, arrogant, condescending, loony left kooks have made it to the "Sweet 16". This means that the quest for the coveted "Walter Mondale Trophy" which will be given to America's Most Annoying Liberal Pundit is getting even harder. You can see all the results to date, including a link to the updated and interactive bracket, by visiting the "Results Page" The 2nd Round separated the wheat from the chaff, or to put it more appropriately, the really arrogant and annoying from the "merely" arrogant and annoying. However, the 2nd round...

It's "Shower Day" here at the Most Annoying Liberal Pundit tournament. Why? Because today's contestants are some of the most noxious, vile and sleazy pundits in the business. Just listening to them makes you feel dirty enough to shower - but all are trying to make it into the "Sweet 16". The marquee matchup today is the odorous Al Franken versus the longtime socialist loon columnist Molly Ivins, who wouldn't know an original thought if it smacked her in the face. If that's not enough, we've got tin-foil-hat wearing Keith Olbermann against granola girl Janeane Garofalo. You know how "strong"...

The 1st round of the tournament concludes today with four great matches. What do pretty much all of today's entrants have in common other than being raging lefties? They likely were all beat up a great deal in high school by the cool kids. Also, today's field might take home the prize of "Group That Hates America Most". When you've got a ferret-faced NYT columnist who spews untruthful venom twice weekly, 3 current of former writers for The Nation, a former chairman of the California Democratic party turned pundit, and a woman who thinks the President owes his election to...

A day after the biggest upset of the tournament, today's action features some of the most loathsome liberal pundits that come into your home each weeknight, or show up in your papers a few times a week. Nearly all suffer from insufferable self-importance and narcissism. You'll all be happy to know that you can vote for Maureen Dowd, who based on her last column may be in an institution before Christmas, as well as Chrissy "I Squat to Pee" Matthews, and other plagues of punditry. Still, the toughest vote of the day is going to be between Tina "The Queen...

The competitors are rested and ready to go. Today starts Day 5 of the First Round in the "Most Annoying Liberal Pundit Tournament". To see all results to date and a link to interactive, updated brackets follow this link. Many big names are in action this week, and among the competitors today is one of the smarmiest, most repugnant names on flagging cable network MSNBC, a Maoist columnist for a major national newspaper, a national news anchorman and perhaps the first ever national annoying liberal pundit. In the hilarious analysis below you will also see whom the winners of today's...

Day 2 in in the books. Much like Florida, we had some technical issues with the voting software (which have been resolved) requiring "special elections" this weekend in 2 unfinished matches (EJ Dionne v. Richard Cohen and Bill Moyers v. Susan Estrich). However there were final results in 2 matches yesterday, and a link to the updated brackets, including previous action can be found here. Today we have 4 new matches sure to outrage, as contestants in each one are sure to make you react like John Belushi in Animal House upon seeing Flounder's picture on the wall on bid...

Welcome to the "tip-off" of "Liberal Pundit Madness", which you can read about HERE. You can view the brackets for the tournament HERE Each day we will bring you four first round contests, one from each region. Today's Contests Are As Follows: McGovern Region Dan Rather (3rd Seed) - Of course "Hurrnicane Dan's" latest stunt of using forged documents to try and bring down Bush 43 led to his "retirement". But his high seed is attained by years of left wing hackery posing as journalism. It started when he goaded President Nixon till Nixon swatted back at him, and continued...

We had a great turnout on Day 1, and you can find the results, and a link to the updated brackets here. Today we have 4 great contests, including one that has been highly anticipated. Today's contests, in our opinion, have a great shot at giving us some "upsets" by lower seeds. Below are thumbnail sketches on today's matchups and pictures of each contestant, including the first round matchup most anticipated by many. McGovern Region James Carville (#5 Seed) Old Serpent Head comes in as a tough #5 seed. The only reason he's not higher is that aside from politics,...

<p>How desperate are the Democrats? Just listen to what they have to say.</p> <p>"If you like God in government, get ready for the rapture," Bill Moyers told his PBS audience the Friday after the election. Republicans will have "monopoly control" of the government, and will "turn their radical ideology into the law of the land." This means "forcing pregnant women to surrender control over the own lives," and "using the taxing power to transfer wealth from working people to the rich," as well as "giving corporations a free hand to eviscerate the environment."</p>
