Most Arrogant know-it-all

Politics aside: Who is the most arrogant and condescending?

A-Hillary
B-Mr Prez
c-Bill O'Reilly
D-Charles Krauthammer
E-Karl Rove

All strong contenders.... D gets my vote (in a photo over A).....Any person who prefaces every utterance with "look" or 'listen" is hard to beat for overall arrogance....

so it's democrats versus Fox news. lol
Have you listened to Brian Williams talk about himself? what a tool.

There has never been anyone more arrogant, childish, condescending and elitist than Obama.
Okay O'Reilly maybe but Krauthammer doesn't even belong on the list. you're totally misreading him if you think he's arrogant. He's bright, thoughtful, articulate, polite and has strong opinions. but he doesn't namecall, troll, lie and make everything about himself like the president does.

O'Reilly is not only arrogant, but ill-mannered. Hillary probably is too, from what I have seen. Obama also hints at it, but is rarely in a position where he has a chance or need to be ill-mannered. Krauthammer and Rove are pretty much always polite and civil.

Krauthammer's "look" thing is an annoying verbal tick, but I cut him some slack on that because he is informative and presents new ways of looking at issues, something none of the rest do. And amazingly for many I am sure, he is the only one of the five I would credit with a genuine sense of humor.

i fully aree with you on Krauthammer. the other guys on Fox are pretty bad though. i have never paid any attention to Brian Williams, but i suspect you are right about him too.

Differing opinions are the fun of this. And write-in candidates are more than welcome. I simply listed the politicians and talking heads whom I find the most arrogant. And I'll stick with Krauthammer. Again, prefacing every single remark with "look" or "listen" takes the cake with me. But it's a matter of personal taste.

Before he left the political arena for sports reporting, I thought that Keith Olbermann was right up there.

You would have to dig into the sports world to find the "real winner" . I nominate Skip Bayless who barely edges out Stephen A Smith. John Madden in his day was a contender. He use to drive my mother nuts.
