Do you know who these people are? The Telegraph in the UK is naming the top "50 most influential" talking heads. So far they have only listed 21-50. I knew everyone but #46 whom I mistook for Andrew Sullivan and #29 whom I've not seen before. :doh!: :spock:

I'm pretty sure 28 is jAZ but not sure on many of the rest.

Doubtful. James is still in the tank for the Clintons.

I don't know how Mark Shields made this list. I guess he's still on PBS but I would hardly count him as influential.

I absolutely knew/recognized 22 of the 30. Of those 8 I didn't know, 5 I knew when I saw their name, 3 had no idea what so ever.

I've never heard of #50, #29, #23 (although I've seen #23 before)

I didn't know #37 and #35 by appearance.

I knew #33 was a Reverend but didn't know his name.

Which 3?
