I have often believed there is a college course for these young ESPN sideline commentators ; now i am convinced there is one for young 22-25 yr old political commentators//campaign spokespersons ! they barely look old enough to vote ; where do the stations get these "experts "

They are one of the hoards of young people who, having graduated from grad school, head for Washington and use their connection to get a job as a talking head. And if you wonder about that, my casual observation when I worked in DC was that the average age for an NSC staff was 26. Sometimes I would go to meetings over there (I was in my late 40s), and I would be the oldest person in the room. Susan Rice, the current National Security Advisor was a Department head at State in her late 20s.
And the scarier thing is that all seem to think they should be in charge.

He was lucky enough to get a very good job. Surprisingly at such a young age. Chiefs of Staff on the Hill are pretty powerful and generally speaking, go to more mature people. He must have had very good connections.
I think some are drawn to the spotlight and some aren't. I know a lot of people that work for think tanks and some of them really are experts, yet they don't turn up on TV as a talking head. I have to say that I am always a little skeptical of anyone that says they are an "expert" on anything, particularly when they are working in DC and particularly at a young age. A lot of time, people's "expertise" only comes because they wrote a paper on something in grad school or wrote a white paper for their boss.
