Even though it's a republican-dominated media climate, The McLaughlin Group is THE most enjoyable...

... They're just so funny - and it's almost cool now that Huffington is on the panel.

1. Is she permanently on the panel?

I was multitasking so wasn't paying it my full attention.

If it was the seat just to the left of McLaughlin, they tend to have that seat occupied by a bunch of different characters from week to week.

Huff always has this exasperated undertone of "this is so childish" that rings totally true to me. She's a great asset for sure.

In some regards, converts from the right pack a stronger wallop than we dyed-in-the-wool types.

8. She's appeared on and off throughout the years....

...even before her disillusionment with the GOP.

4. It's the best.

I don't know if Ariana will be permanent, though. That seems to be the rotating slot.
