How does Pickler hold her job?

When The Rascal labored in the mainstream media for a living and had frequent occasion to peruse wire stories, I was always amazed that the Associated Press assigned a hack like Nedra Pickler to cover national politics.

Never once did I find her even accidentally coming up with any worthwhile insights or valuable perspectives. Her work was not worthy of a bad college newspaper, let alone a major wire service.

Pickler's latest offense is a cheap, inaccurate slam at Barack Obama, suggesting that he's "all style and little substance" and claiming that he's "delivered no policy speeches and provided few details about how he would lead the country."

The piece gets well-deserved smackdowns here and here.
