Homer On Pundits
Homer and I were talking this morning about pundits while we were watching CNN.
Me: (thinking greedily about getting paid millions to just sit around and talk incessantly about politics, Britney Spears, Gene Simmons’ sex tape and the health benefits of beef jerky. I have lofty goals. Shut up.) “Ahh, the life of a pundit.”
Homer: “How does one become a pundit?”
Me: (dead silence as I pondered this) “Umm, I don’t know.
Homer: “You can’t major in punditry, can you?”
Me: “No. I think you just have to be loud and think you are right no matter what you are saying.”
Homer: “You’d be perfect then.”
Me: (trying to muster up a good case of stinkeye to throw at her) “You’re saying that sarcastically, aren’t you?”
Homer just smiled.
I love my family.
I loved Keith Olbermann’s comment, quoted in the Washington Post, that MSNBC’s introduction of all its election night pundits started to sound like the opening credits of “Hee Haw”:

Tee hee. Homer makes me laugh.
I’d watch.
Hee. Thanks. Never dream that I would go conservative again.
Seriously.
Bwahhhahhhaaaa.
