  • An episode of The McLaughlin Group, as aired on Toledo, Ohio's PBS station on February 24, 1989. Hosted by John McLaughlin. Panelists are Patrick J. Buchanan, Fred Barnes, Jack Germond, and Mort Kondracke. There is a brief few seconds of video missing from the episode (during the segment about David Duke) where I had accidentally pressed record on the tape many, many years ago (oops!). This is the earliest episode of The McLaughlin Group that I ever taped off the TV, by the way.

    The #2 classic group panel in the show's history behind the original group when Robert Novak occupied Barnes' seat. I've yet to find a single show from when Novak was still there (he abruptly left in the Summer of 1988 when his feud with McLaughlin reached the breaking point and he started "Capital Gang" on CNN, ironically with Buchanan doing both shows!)

    Looking at the senate there....just amplifies the problem we have in our government....career politicians. Some of these jokers are STILL in office one way or another. They mention Senator Chuck Grassley, senator of my state. While I love the guy, he really is a decent guy..he's been a senator WAY too long! 35 years should never be happening. Same with McCain, and half of the other guys in there. We really need term limits in the Senate/House.

    Here's the irony for all the flaming liberals who have considered Dick Cheney among the most evil men in the world. The Democrats rejection of John Tower as Secretary of Defense is what made Dick Cheney Vice-President in 2000 since Cheney was appointed Secretary of Defense instead and his subsequent career stemmed from that. Cheney would have otherwise stayed in the House or been elected to the Senate from Wyoming in the 1990s and stayed there.
