This will probably, and unfairly, go a long way toward taking attention away from what I'm sure was a thoughtful discussion between professional ornery cuss John McLaughlin and Winning the Race authour John McWhorter, but when the conversation veered toward a critical analysis of the lyrics of 50 Cent's hit song, "In Da Club," well...you can imagine how hilarious and delightful things suddenly became.

[Watch it!]

Hello-oh?!

Does it not occur to people that McLaughlin is being ironically reverent with the "Mr. Cent" bit? Oh ho ho, let's all laugh at the old geeky white guy. Don't worry. McLaughlin "gets" it. Jokes on you if you think he's really that clueless.

50 cent does not represent peeps like John McWhorter, he represents rise to success after living the thug life and surviving being shot nine times. McLaughlin is talking to McWhorter as one of his own.

I watch McLaughlin Group every week and poor

Mr. McL. is completely off his rocker, quickly followed by

Tony the prince Blankley. You know that things are

wacky when Pat Bucannan is the sanest guy in the room.

Contrast with Gwen Ifill on Washington Week

That wasn't so funny.

I do agree with John McWhorter, however, that a lot of these entertainers are giving the middle finger to their own fans. It's like, "look at me! I'm so great!"

I LOVE John McLaughlin...i mean his show has been literally my favorite TV show for a decade. That clip was just awesome...made my day. "Mr. Cent"!!

If you haven't seen it, you should watch the old SNL parody of the McLaughlin Group. Dana Carvey, Phil Hartmann, Chris Farley, Mike Myers, and Keavin Nealon at their best! Check it out:

that's too funny, lol! now, if only no one took that trash and all the trash that is written by slip slop "artists" seriously, music would be getting somewhere besides in the crapper. that pathetic trash killed music so that no one knows what good music and lyrics are any more. Dang, music has become such sad drivel i don't even listen anymore, i've even come to hate the radio when i'm in the car it's so bad. i wish someone would finally put a stake in whatever is the heart of slip slop and finally kill it and put it out of our misery. then maybe music would become fun again and not the dead dreadful awful bore that it is now, damned depressing too!

The McLaughlin Group is the best political pundit round-table program on T.V., period.
