Crossfire was a hit---when was that?--back in the 80's? The franchise is dead. Died a long time ago. Right? Does anyone watch that show anymore? Who was the lib side back when it was successful, when PJB was a Republican. Remember those days?

[Skooz]

I remember. I rarely missed Crossfire back when Buchanan and that gray haired liberal used to duke it out (mid-1980s). I used to time my dinner with the show so I could watch it while I ate. It's only a pathetic shadow of what it was back then.

BTW, I always thought Janeane Garofalo was cute.

In other words, before FOX.

It used to be Pat Buchanan and Michael Kinsley.

PJB was a Republican

PJB was hired becuase he would make most of viewers think he was a typical Repubican. PJB's job was to make a poor presentation of the rights views on all subjects and lose to the Democrat. Just as Alan Colmes job is to do alousy job for the left and always lose to Hannity.

Ted Turner loved PJB. As Ted used to say, "When you want an inept right wing idiot, PJB is hard to beat."

CROSSFIRE: 2-4 people talking about subjects they have no more expertise in than the average american. Half of them are lying. All are shouting. All are laughing, and they take nothing seriously. Haven't watched the show after the first 1/4 of its first season.
