Paco De Lucia y John McLaughlin
An ailing John McLaughlin missed his first episode in 34 years as host of his Sunday political free-for-allThe McLaughlin Group. This mornings installment kicked off with the hosts written note to viewers that read Dearfriendsof The McLaughlin Group, Dr. McLaughlin here. As the panels recent absences attest, I am under the weather. The final issue of this episode has my voice, but please forgive me for its weaker than usual quality. Yet my spirit is strong and my dedication to this show remains absolute!
PanelistPat Buchanan then began the weeks political discussion by noting, This is our first time in 34 years that our distinguished leader Dr. McLaughlin is not in his chair and we miss him. But lets get on with the show. (McLaughlin holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University).

McLaughlins voice, sounding raspy and slurred, was heard in a pre-taped voiceover introducing a segment on free trade.
In addition to Buchanan, the panel of pundits included the usual weekly group:Eleanor Clift, Clarence Page andTom Rogan.Rogan closed out the show by saying, On behalf of the panel we want to say to John were thinking of you and you have our very best. No details were mentioned about the nature of McLaughlins ailment.
McLaughlin is the creator, executive producer and host of The McLaughlin Group, which premiered in 1982. The program airs nationally of select CBS-owned stations and on public stations.
