Safire? Brooks? Coulter? Lewis Lapham (ok, just threw that one in for a laugh).

Tony Blankley (sp?), George Will, and Charles Krauthammer. Peggy Noonan is also great at the sentimental, but not a heavy weight on the big issues of the day.
Safire mistakenly thinks he's a deep thinker, and is about as exciting to watch on TV as paint drying.
Brooks is not bad on sociological commentary, but on politics he misses the mark.
Coulter is great for entertainment value, but far too way over the top to be taken seriously.
