top, maybe stick Juan Williams in 3d place on the lefty list. Or Charlie whatever his last name is, from Esquire. Pierce? Although I like him better as a writer than as a talking head where he can come across as smugger than he writes.

I consider Kathleen Parker generally conservative--to conservatives here she may seem "moderate"--and I would put her above Kristol, who I'd drop from the top 3 in favor of your 3d choice Scarborough, who I think is smarter than your assessment, though admittedly in a Alabama-chapter-president-of-KA sort of way.

Can't stand Maher, does the left's image more harm than good with his superciliousness.
