Believe it or not -- I watched this live.

I watched a lot of C-Span back then because I didn't trust the cable news back then, it was very bad. Phil Donahue was let go because he was an anti-war voice.

Re-watching, I didn't truly appreciate Molly Ivins back then as I do know. She is the star of the whole thing, though the O'Reilly-Franken fued is very entertaining.
