Pundit mistakes

This election cycle is making it quite apparent that many Americans are disgusted with their elected leaders but there is another group that is even more disgusting and they are the pundits. For those who have never read Teddy Roosevelts essay on the Man in the Area, please do so and you will understand why many would be disgusted with the talking heads. These are the people who don’t take the risk of running for public office but instead stand on the sidelines and second guess those who do take the risk. They ask gotcha questions hoping to embarrass, they use hindsight to point out mistakes and they Monday morning quarterback the decisions of the risk takers. Anytime a risk taker misspeaks they gleefully play it over and over. Now these people are getting a taste of their own medicine as their predictions have been totally wrong. Maybe they will show these over and over. Not!
