I just watched the McLaughlin group on PBS. I think this is my last time.

Yellers, screamers, they barely let the woman from Newsweek talk. The repulsive toad from the Washington Times has this smirk on his face....
If these are pundits, they should lock them up and throw away the key.

1. That's too bad

I saw a couple of good broadcasts recently. Oh well, two steps forward and three back. :(

2. You're kidding me, right??? The McLaughlin Group has.....

been decent recently!

[htuttle]

3. WRONG!

:evilgrin:

4. They are usually much better than this.

I do agree with you that the Times guy (Tony Blankley) is an arrogant jerk. Eleanor Clift, the woman from Newsweek, is a moderate (Dem) who more than gets in her two cents' worth most of the time.

Was Patrick Buchanan on tonight? He's a conservative, yes, but he is very much against Iraq-nam and everything PNAC stands for. He is old-school conservative, as is the host, John McLaughlin.

The fourth seat on the panel is a revolving seat ranging from moderates to RW whackos (Lawrence Kudlow, anyone? And having clowns like Limpballs and Savage and O'Really and Tucker and Hannity on is so beneath them, so they don't.). Bottom line, "The McLaughlin Group" is the only conservative news show I can stand watching.

12. Conservative news show?

More like CON-serve-ator opinion flippers.

They are hurting, those CONS. Every time one of their own gets in the high position their king screws up. Reagan fucked up big time but the hypocrisy wouldn't let them admit it and Bush 1... well he got run out of office, did he not? And now their boy-king is doing a slow burn and it's put these CONs into a steadily decending spiral full of more hypocritical spin and shit shoveling. It'd be fun to watch if the injury to America were not so great.

5. It is, sadly, all about ego

The McLaughlin Group has really gone downhill, at a time when we need more dialogue. I know what you mean. Hello, panelists: There are issues here, besides your egos! Really, it's no longer a show worth watching.

6. it's the editing

that bugs the hell out of me. the cuts are really noticeable.

[Dookus]

7. aww..

I love it. Been watching it for years.

Give it a shot. If you like a little more mellow, watch Inside Washington. I like 'em both.

8. It proves

It proves just how desperate the pukes are. Just a year ago they thought they would cruise to victory in 04. They thought WMD was as good as found and Iraq would be at peace by now. They never dreamed of Clarke or of a 9/11 blow-back.

Now a sad reality is clouding their dreams of empire. It's turned into a nightmare for them and they are desperate for the good ol' days. Good to see them wetting the bed and peeing all over themselves. Just laugh at the fools.

11. See my post above:

Patrick Buchanan and John McLaughlin are very much against PNAC and Bushco and everything they stand for. They are old-school conservatives who are against the idea of American Empire.

9. I used to love when Saturday Night Live parodied it

I can't stand the yelling, personally.

10. Too little information

Who won? Who lost? What were the terms/arguments?
