I cut my political teeth on McLaughlin group just after college and getting married. My mother in law hated the free for all format of the show. I loved it. John was the best.
McLaughlin was a good soul.
My husband and I used to tease each other. One of us would, while standing 2 or 3 feet from the other, with a “Loud Howard” voice, yell out, “DO YOU WANT TO WATCH THE MCLAUGHLIN REPORT?” To which the other us would bellow, “OK!”, or “NO, NOT RIGHT NOW, THANKS!” (It doesn’t take much to make us laugh).
