And another thing.... I haven't watched McLaughlin in a while but I'm very tempted to tune in and see Eleanor Clift melt down this weekend! As well as Snuffaluagus on his show, and Nina Totenberg and Jack Germond on Inside Washington. I'm sure the nasal urbane Evan Thomas will have a few words to contribute too!

I was listening to Howie Carr this afternoon, and he said Even Thomas said Kerry's aides had to take his cellphone away from him because every time reporters asked how Kerry felt on this or that question, Kerry would call up fifty or one hundred pals to find out what they thought. Then he'd adopt the last opinion as his own, which is why all the flip flops. Unbelievable. That suit of his is really empty.

I've been baffled by McLaughlin's behavior the last several months. He predicted Kerry would win on the pre-election broadcast. He's been on the wrong side of most of the major issues during the campaign. It seemed to start around the same time as the Abu Grab incident. He started agreeing alot more with the left side of the room (Clift and Whatshisname) and acting really hostile towards Blankley and Co.

I used to watch the show regularly and McLaughlin was usually right-on in his opinions and seemed to know his stuff. Something strange happened with the guy.
