The 10 Most Annoying People of 2011: The pundit class (and not because of their punditry)

David Gregory, among the worst offenders

Ironic that the journalists who make up the pundit class are responsible for propagating some of the year’s most pestiferous cliches:

  • “At the end of the day” …
  • “Kicking the can down the road” …
  • “Game changer” (which seamlessly doubles as a sports bromide)

On a positive note, usage of “a perfect storm” seems to have abated.

More annoying people of 2011 here — only two to go, including THE most annoying person(s?) of the year that almost was.
