I was talking recently with a conservative, and although we didn't agree on much, we did agree that cable news is incredibly annoying at times. There are a lot of "pundits" trying to fill time by talking about trivial stuff, or just endlessly blathering on about stuff that's been beaten to death already.
One of the few cable news pundits I really admire is David Gergen, who is always smart and even-handed. The following discussion does spend too much time on Sarah Palin's clothes -- but as they note, the McCain campaign keeps bringing it up-- but the really good stuff is toward the end, when Gergen notes that Reagan started a big wealth redistribution program, the earned income tax credit. I got a little cranky yesterday discussing McCain's "socialist" smears, but Gergen here does a pretty good job of calmly demolishing that completely dishonest line of attack.
