I watch the McLaughlin Group just to watch him go on about how smart Putin is. :)

Re: Pat Buchanan (none / 1)
Who knew?  Is McLaughlin deaf or does he just like to shout?  The content is not so bad, but the presentation is off-putting.

Re: Pat Buchanan (none / 1)
I think he just likes to shout.  He kinda has to over his guests...  Personal story:  My mother was a liberal hippie lefty, and my stepfather is republican neo-con type.  They were actually really great togther, but always getting into political debates, and our home was often like an episode of the McLaughlin Group.  We called it the "I'm right, You're wrong Show."  "Issue Number One: I'm Right - You're Wrong."  LOL.

I assume they don't have the McLaughlin Group in Europe.  Here's a clip:
