2009 DEMMY Awards
In honor of Sunday's EMMY Awards, I'd like to give out DEMMY Awards to the best Democrats on TV.
Below are three categories: Pundits, Elected Officials, and Frauds.
We'll open the voting this weekend on Democrats.com, but I'd like to complete the nominations first. So which "TV Democrats" did I leave out?

Please add David Letterman to your list. He has stuck his neck out many times to show the absurdities of the republican party, and with humor too.
great suggestion
