Guest blogging  

Ana Marie Cox should really join the McLaughlin Group permanently, she was great, and it was kind of shocking to see her debating Pat Buchanan -- or was it more shocking how much they agreed?. I still think this new issue-based formatting they've had on the show lately is a little weird, and I wanted to hear them talk about about Larry Craig, but it was interesting to get McLaughlin's perspective on the blogging revolution. I wonder if they're taping these shows in advance.

Amazingly -- or maybe I should say embarassingly -- the McLaughlin Group is pretty much all I watch on TV these days.
