6. Bill Press was the liberal panelist on crossfire before he began his national radio show.

Apr 2013

He then hosted "Press & Buchanan" a similar show on MSNBC after leaving CNN in 2002.

Former Rep. Geraldine Ferraro was a liberal panelist.

if I were to relaunch crossfire today I'd choose these people over the long-irrelevant Gingrich and obscure Cutter:

(left)
Anthony Weiner (if he can't become mayor at least he will still have a media platform)
Eliot Spitzer (another smart ex pol w/media exp on current tv viewpoint show)
Keith Olbermann (missed him! would like to see him demolish cons!)
Jennifer Granholm ( ditto with Spitzer)
Janeane Garofalo (as a feminist she could bring her challenges to patriarchy to the masses!)
Sam Seder (like him on Ring of Fire and the majority Report)

(right)
Michael Steele (isn't he pretty moderate for a former Republican cmte chair?)
Peggy Noonan (former Reagan speechwriter who actually can be reasonable at times)
Greg Gutfeld (the bigoted jackass Fox host, just to see him lose and howl)
