In his mid-forties,John McLaughlin, this long-haired Jesuit priest ran unsuccessfully (as a Republican against the Vietnam War) for the U.S. Senate from Rhode Island in 1970, but eventually wound up marrying his campaign manager, Ann Dore. After the failed campaign, McLaughlin became a speechwriter for Presidents Nixon and Ford. Ann McLaughlin was Secretary of Labor in the first term of Ronald Reagan. They divorced in 1992. He took his next wife, Cristina Vidal in 1997. Is she related to Gore Vidal? I don't know. John McLaughlin was once someone we enjoyed watching but he has so much bile in his utterances, that we turn him off. I suspect he is holding onto some petty grievance from the past.

Thanks, I tried watching him again yesterday and couldn't take more than 30 seconds.
