The Pundit Candidate
Submitted by kierduros on Mon, 02/15/2010 - 16:29
Most politicians I've known will take whatever chance they can to get in front of the public and pitch their plans. The only thing that keeps most from stumping at funerals and christenings is some innate sense of decorum. The same is true when it comes to potential conflict of interest situations. Decorum prevents what hard legal limits will not. Obviously, not all politicians have that sense of decorum. Is it surprising the Fox News is an apparent haven for Pundit Candidates? Nope. Not at all. When it comes to decorum... well, let's just say I don't expect it from anything in the Fox family, most especially its "news" channel. The worst thing, of course, is that the target constituents of these future candidates won't see anything at all wrong with what's going on.
