This afternoon we had the privilege of going behind the scenes at the longest running and most eminent political roundtable on American TV, The McLaughlin Group, in Washington, DC.
Host and moderator John McLaughlin was formerly speechwriter and Special Assistant to the Nixon and Ford Administrations and his show has run in its current format since 1984, paving the way for similarly formatted shows around the world.
John’s guests this afternoon included Monica Crowley, Mortimer Zuckerman and Eleanor Cliff.
Mr McLaughlin and all of his guests gave lively, insightful and eloquent assessments of the week’s proceedings on Capitol Hill, often criticizing John McCain for his ‘roll of the dice’ in suspending his campaign in the wake of the economic crisis, calling it a ‘stunt’ and ‘reckless showmanship.’
Later today in DC, we heard another high-profile Republican refer to Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric this week as ‘shocking, a disaster’ because ‘she doesn’t know anything.’
Barack Obama will bring this dangerous Roulette politics to an end and bring an altogether more thoughtful and considered approach to the White House.
