‘Top Line’ — ‘America’s Next Great Pundit’

ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: We bring you plenty of pundits on “Top Line” — plus, in at least one instance, fake pundits — but this was a first for us: Certified pundit wannabes. Kevin Huffman and Zeba Khan are the two finalists in The Washington Post’s “America’s Next Great Pundit” contest. The winner, based on today’s final voting, gets a column in the Post, which guarantees a place in the official Washington punditocracy. They’ve had to write sample columns and blogs, answer questions from readers, and chew over the news in front of cameras. Today, we asked for their take on Sarah Palin, President Obama, the health care push, their idols among current DC pundits, and more. Watch Kevin Huffman and Zeba Khan duke it out for the title HERE. And when you’re done, vote for your favorite HERE. The balloting closes at 8 pm ET.

Well, the choice will obviously depend on their political party affiliation.

We need more pundits like we need a hole in our head. The majority of them are all brain washed and have an agenda to demonize America. Like “WOW” we need more idiots speaking out against America in public. Only idiots accept another idiots point of view as knowledge of an issue.
