To paraphrase the great Captain Malcom Reynolds...

"Man wears a jacket like that, you know he's not afraid of anything."

I saw him on the tube not too long ago and was surprised he was still above ground...And possibly even more surprised Eleanor and Pat Buchanan were still doing their old schticks on TV.

Dana Carvey really nailed his impression of McLaughlin.

Sorry, no embed...NBC doesn't allow SNL clips to exist on YouTube.

[I]In 1997, McLaughlin, then 70, married 36-year-old Cristina Vidal, the vice president of his production company. They divorced in 2010.[/I]


There's a lesson in there somewhere...:wink
