What it takes to be a big-time pundit
I wrote a semi-serious list of eight rules for modern American TV and radio pundits in June 2003. Jeffrey Zaslow, of the Wall Street Journal, found it a couple of weeks ago and gave me a call to discuss the matter in all seriousness. The results appear in today's paper.
The article is about minor-league pundits trying to break into the big leagues. While Zaslow doesn't mention my list of rules specifically, I find it very amusing that what he discovered reporting this article fits my list.
