Sad. Those who watched last week's show know how bad he sounded. I commented to a friend that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make it til this week's show.

That sucks!  Great guy.  Great show.  He was smart, educated, and a real class act.  I often wonder who are the McLaughlin's of my generation.

I have watched his show for many years.
You could see that his health, physical image (on camera) and his mental ability was deteriorating slowly.
RIP. We will miss you.
