John McLaughlin is a Crazy Old Man

From the June 6th, 2008 broadcast of the McLaughlin Group, hosted by everyone’s favorite Jesuit Nixon Speechwriter, John McLaughlin:

As Eleanor Clift discusses Obama’s race, McLaughlin jumps in with “You make it sound as though this is the first time we've had a black president.”

The Group nervously laughs.

“Warren G. Harding was a Negro!” proclaims McLaughlin. (Well, at least if William Estabrook Chancellor was correct…)

“Well, we had a black president on television,” responds the obviously perplexed Newsweek editor.

It truly is the smartest show on television.
