The UK Daily Telegraph, which last year named Rudy Giuliani America's most influential conservative and Bill Clinton our most influential liberal, this week comes out with a ranking of the top American political pundits. So far 31-50 are available, and there are some strange choices. Paul Krugman is all the way back at #48 -- surely too low for any New York Times columnist. Figures such as Dee Dee Meyers and Paul Begala earn higher rankings, though they've both receded in influence along with that of the Clinton machine. Any predictions of who will come out on top, or who should? My guess is Rush Limbaugh, with Keith Olbermann as the most influential liberal pundit.
