text: As co-host of Crossfire for six and a half years ( 1989-1995 ) , I am familiar with the It 's uncivilized , it 's just show biz , it 's not serious , you all talk at the same time , no one gets to finish a sentence , Pat Buchanan is a monster , Bob Novak is a monster , John Sununu makes me ill ( and they hear similar complaints , apparently , about the liberal hosts ) .
