Eliot Spitzer & Kathleen Parker: We're Not Doing Another 'Crossfire' On CNN, We're 'The Conversation

CNN's new 8PM show doesn't have a title yet, but rest assured it won't be "Crossfire 2."

In an interview with the Huffington Post shortly after they were announced as CNN's new hosts, Eliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker said their show will take a different tone than the network's previous panel show.

"It will be much less artificial than Crossfire," Parker said. "We're going to be an organic talk show where we sit around the kitchen table -- not literally, but that's the idea -- and talk about what everybody talks about when they're in the kitchen."

"Big issues, little issues, coming at it from different perspective, same perspective, agree, disagree," Spitzer chimed in, "but in a way that people are going to be drawn into, to find it amusing and fun and informative."

This should be interesting. Sad for MSNBC to lose Spitzer but I am glad that I will have another show to tune into at 8 PM beside Keith all the time!

1. Spitz should be good for this

he has made cash and can talk the talk

2. "Crossfire" is what is absolutely necessary

with each side checked and kept a little more honest by the other. However, if they want to call it a conversation, then by all means let them.

Well, as long as they do their jobs.

Kathleen Parker is a stopped clock conservative and probably one of the better choices for such a show. She might be wrong about most things, but she's able to articulate her position outside party talking points, sound bites and bumper stickers.

Spitzer, of course, is usually quite wonderful. He agrees with me most of the time.

I might tune in to this one.

Will keep an open mind for a few shows.
