Why must I be tortured with Charlie Rose on both PBS stations at the same
time?

Are they trying to induce suicide in democrats?

Give me my Globetrekker!

(But it is Geoger Lucas...it could be worse, it ususally is.)

1. I hear you, but --
-- Charlie Rose is better than Pete Rose as tortures go.

2. I'll take Pete any day.
This is a plot, an evil fascist plot, I tell you.

3. he's pretty good with artists and entertainers
but, I don't remember seeing him ever interview politicians (except for a prison warden from Texas, once, if that counts). I mean I've seen him interview politicians, but I don't ever remember who because I must have always changed the channel.

He had Don Cheadle, Terry George and Paul Rusesabagina from Hotel Rwanda on a few weeks ago. He's a good interviewer, but it's the subjects he chooses that are suspect, to me.

5. yeah, he eats them up, and shits all over policy makers
and activists.

I watched him totally kiss the Boss's ass one night ( and deservedly so) and then treat Jane Goodall like not quite bright child the next.

She actually had to put him in his place, he asked her if people called her Janie, and she said no and then he asked what do they call you and she said "Doctor". It was a total byatch slap and he had it coming, that is the first time I've ever seen her get stern with anyone, but I couldn't believe how he was treating her.

I loathe him.

4. His questions take longer than the time he gives his guests for their
answers. He talks way too much!

6. yes, someone on here was talking about talk shows once, and
referred to Rose's show as "the listen show". That cracked me up.
