Yeah, I forgot about Jack Germond. That was really the classic lineup, John, Fred, Mort, Jack and Eleanor.
Then you had Novak, Buchanan, Page fill in.
Was Mark Shields ever on there, or was he always "the capital gang"? I forgot.
Shields was on Evans and Novak, and also on PBS I think with Jim Lehrer back in the day. I don't recall ever seeing him on the McLaughlin Group.
O'Donnell is just vile and Eleanor is still a screechy skank.
