Atrios (Duncan Black) has been doing a countdown of the worst wanktacular pundits, commentators, chattering heads and all-around wankers. Being a wanker isn't about being RW, but rather being RW in the name of centrism, "seriousness" and "common sense" without even knowing that everything you say is debunked RW gibberish.

The king (or queen) wanker will be announced tomorrow. See if you can guess who it will be.

Here are the honorees thus far:

Wanker of the decade ? ? ?
1st runner up Fred Hiatt
2nd runner up Andrew Sullivan
3rd runner up Joe Klein
4th runner up Mark Halperin
5th runner up William Saletan
6th runner up Jonah Goldberg
7th runner up Diane Sawyer
8th runner up Richard Cohen
9th runner up Megan McArdle

(I am leaning toward the departed David Broder because he was the definition of Wankerism. Krugman and others refer to the embrace of utterly wrong RW myths in the name of centrism "High Broderism&quot
