John McLaughlin this weekend missed his first hosting of The McLaughlin Group in more than 34 years, since the syndicated public affairs program made its debut on Jan. 1, 1982.
“I am under the weather,” McLaughlin explained in a note that prefaced this week’s telecast. His distinct, once-bellowing voice, heard in pre-taped intros, is “weaker than usual,” McLaughlin acknowledged. “Yet my spirit is strong and my dedication to the show remains absolute!”
Stepping in as this week’s host, Pat Buchanan noted the absence of the panel’s “distinguished leader” and, speaking on behalf of himself, Eleanor Clift, Clarence Page and Tom Rogan,...

The debate over the use of the n-word by white people has recently become the subject of unwarranted confusion, but it's use among black people has long been a subject of genuine contention. During a segment pegged to Richard Sherman's postgame interview, NewsOne Now's Roland Martin challenged syndicated columnist Clarence Page for subscribing to the Chris Rock Theorem, which states that there is a difference between black people and n*ggers.

The Supreme Court's decision to hear cases which challenge the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate has already resulted in copious handwringing and predictable debate, but if attorney and reproductive freedom hero Sandra Fluke's debate with Washington Examiner's Tim Carney is any indication, this will be an easy fight. On Tuesday night's All In, Fluke, along with host Chris Hayes, tossed the issue around with Carney, and in short order had him comparing contraceptive coverage with Alec Baldwin calling a photographer a "cocksucking faggot."...

It's former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.

Chris Matthews spoke with Clarence Page from the Chicago Tribune and Eric Boehlert from Media Matters and told them how he was amazed that anyone could still doubt the intelligence of President Obama. The response was prompted by Donald Trump's assertion that "he wasn't a good student" yet somehow got into Harvard Law School. Both Matthews and Page didn't know how that could be interpreted any other way than Trump suggesting Obama was an "affirmative action baby."...

Everybody wants to be something else. In Countdown host Keith Olbermann's case, there seems to be a frustrated vaudevillian trying to get out. On Tuesday's show, Olbermann made an admirable attempt at a spit-take, but later in the show, chose an inopportune moment to stretch his funny bone. In the middle of an important segment about a movement to sanitize Southern secession of its connection to slavery, he interrupted guest Clarence Page to indulge in some prop humor that would even make Carrot Top cringe.

There are two things that happen about once a week. One, someone working in the dying newspaper industry writes an article blaming the Internet and demonstrates, in the process, a lack of understanding of how the Internet works. Two, someone declares that film criticism is dead. This week, these two themes overlapped in a Chicago Tribune column by Clarence Page. The headline is "One very big thumbs down." The subhead: "Balcony closed, idiot floodgates open."
Page's jumping-off point is the cancellation of At the Movies, the respected TV program started by Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert and most recently hosted by A.O. Scott and Page's Tribune colleague Michael Phillips. "Good critics are an endangered species," Page writes. "Variety, the venerable show-biz newspaper, says it will keep running reviews but laid off its best-known critics, chief film critic Todd McCarthy and chief theater critic David Rooney. Elsewhere, newspapers are cutting back...
