Begala and Carville are awful and grating, and their habit of making a cheap shot as a substitute for a good argument gets old FAST. And that studio audience! If CNN is trying to attract more conservative viewers, then stacking the show with a live audience that cheers wildly whenever Begala says Bush stole the election ain't gonna cut it. I used to watch Crossfire about once a week, but I don't plan to anymore. I never would have thought I'd say this, but firing Bill Press actually made the show worse.
