House Bill to create special "Pundit License"
Satire
As a response to "all these sill commentators, Bloggers and such," Congressman Dick Armey has introduced a bill that would require "commentators, pundits, and those who express opinions through various media channels, including television, newspaper, internet and radio" to have a special "Pundit's License."
"The 'Pundit's License' is really an attempt to curb the flow of disinformation that is permeating this nation in a time of crisis," said representative Armey at a press conference yesterday. "We can use this as an opportunity to be sure that bloggers and others are representing the facts."
The plan would call for potential pundits to attend special classes in order to be approved for their license. The legislation would also prevent licensed pundits from writing articles outside of their designated area of expertise which would prevent, "a steady stream of factual inaccuracy from a pundit who is not a recognized expert."
If approved, the White House is expected to fast track the licensing of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter. Verbal Jazz does not expect to become a licensed pundit.
