Great Moments in Pundetry

While eating breakfast this morning they had the Red Sox highlights pretty early in sportscenter, so I flipped to msnbc. Topic is obviously the financial crisis. But somehow Scarborough, Chuck Todd, and someone from Time spend the whole time talking about how they have no idea about the economic 'philosophy' of McCain or Obama.

Now I know I don't actually get paid like the three of them to follow politics and instead have to do it on my own time. But maybe you could start with reading each sides economic plan. Or how about looking at their statements and proposals over the past year. Chuck Todd even had the great idea of maybe seeing what their economic advisers think and have said and done in their careers.

It is one thing to try to interpret those things or say there are some contradictions or inconsistencies. But to just sit back and moan about how, if only they were like Reagan or FDR, we would know exactly what they 'stand for' is just lazy.
