Pat was the fat guy I think? Yes, they were frank and honest analysts, ok to listen to, even the dem slanted ones, because they made their case well. John McLaughlin was the strong Rep side. I didn’t know about the allegations but he’s gone now anyway.
Even Chris Matthews was interesting to listen to, in those days. He’s so lefty now. Not worth it anymore.
I used to watch Chris Matthews. He had left leanings back then (worked for Tip earlier in his career).
Then he went crazy left. Haven’t watched him in ages now.
I found a wiki for the show. Pat was Pat Buchanan. Clarence Page, Tony Blankley (the fat guy I think), Lawrence O’Donnell, Mort Zuckerman, Robert Novak, Mor-TON Kondracke, Fred Barnes (I think was the guy with glasses), Chris Matthews, Mark Shields, Eleanor Clift - I remember them.
John M died 3 years ago (Aug 2016) of prostate cancer. He didn’t get to see Donald Trump win, unfortunately.
