Wow...I didn't know Ann Coulter was a chick back then.

She was and still is.

Btw, since you didn't use elipses properly, you may want to check this out or the book the Elements of Style.

Juan Williams looks like Chris Rock.

I didn't know they kept their credibility so tight.

Is this one of those greens done just so we can mock the submitter for poor grammar?

Do they no longer teach this in school? I swear I never, ever saw this on anyone else's writing in grade school, high school or college. However, starting about 2005 or so, all of a sudden a significant portion of the population, including some people who write for a living, no longer knows the difference between "loose" and "lose".

Seriously, WTF?

Most of them have a VERY punchable face.

He has a report due and used the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Hey, I'm going rogue. What can I say?

Thanks for checking out my profile. I'll be expecting some WIE...

Except Paul Krugman. That beard would deaden the blow.

My secret? I drink the blood of virgins every morning. I highly recommend it.

Isn't it amazing what they could do with gender reassignment surgery even back then?

vernonFL		2012-10-10 09:29:18 AM

Ann Coulter had a job as an actual journalist

No she didn't. She worked for Human Events magazine. Its about as credible as American Thinker or Townhall.

LeoffDaGrate		2012-10-10 09:35:03 AM

...looses all credibility...

"Looses"? Really? I'm beginning to think this is some sort of meme or something

fenianfark		2012-10-10 09:35:08 AM

That mustache really bothers me for some reason. I can't say exactly why, but it creeps me out.

EyeballKid		2012-10-10 09:35:40 AM

Oh, look, it's all the conservative reporters before they discovered the major liberal bias in journalism (read: got shiatcanned and turned bitter).

HOLY SHIAT, LAWRENCE O'DONNELL IS RANDALL FLAGG!

spelletrader		2012-10-10 09:35:43 AM

All pundits were something else until they realized how much partisanship pays.

HMS_Blinkin		2012-10-10 09:37:00 AM

...and yet no pics from Obama in the '90s! Probably because he was smoking weed with Mikhail Gorbachev.

This is the man that's going to sleep with your wife tonight, and there isn't a thing you can do about it. More at 11.

Douches, douches everywhere.

She dated Bob Guccione, Jr. for a long time back then.

I'm sorry for hitting you, monitor, it's a conditioned reflex.

topcon		2012-10-10 09:42:24 AM

Correctamundo. The fact is, many pundits don't believe anything they say. I'm sure some do, but that's another story. These people found a niche where, if they're fiery and vocal about something, they can manipulate the lunatics of a given political party, be they left or right, into buying their books, going to their seminars, and watching their television shows.

Has anyone worn a bow-tie (not with a tux) and not looked like a douchebag?

urbangirl		2012-10-10 09:43:57 AM

Well, it's official. Rush Limbaugh has ALWAYS been an obese, sweaty, unattractive hulk.

I see that and 'defiantly' in place of 'definitely' as two of the most common mistakes on forums, boards, etc.

Stossel Slap

They should have had a still from when John Stossel got slapped by the Wrassler.

/what the hell's wrong with ya? That's an open hand slap

Mrs.Sharpier		2012-10-10 09:45:18 AM

Lawrence O'Donnell looks like he just walked off the set of General Hospital

Douchebags then; douchebags now.

It looks kind of like a lousy Superman/Batman disguise.

WTF Indeed		2012-10-10 09:48:09 AM

All pundits were at one point real journalists, politicians, and or TV hosts. Then they thought to themselves, "F*ck that! I want to make some cash, b*tches!"

TimSTP		2012-10-10 09:48:23 AM

I think Ann Coulter looks kind of cute in that picture. May God have mercy on my soul.

OBJECTION! I saw Jonah Goldberg featured, and he is none of those things.

Yes, I think he would. Beat you to it, I mean.

cram_hole: Has anyone worn a bow-tie (not with a tux) and not looked like a douchebag?

Well, the other option is "disheveled eccentric college professor" but you have to pair it with a tweed jacket and hair extending from your nose and ears.

Stossel needs about an hour more of them open hand slaps. He is a complete embarrassment to the industry.

Im off to watch that video again, its nice to see him run for his life.

Bill Nye.

I see Rush was always fat.
Krugman was always a hippie.
Sawyer looks like Meryl Streep
and George Stephanopoulos looks just like John Stamos. The Greek is strong in that one.

Cool!
