Larry King is an asshole!

A little while ago, I made the mistake of tuning in to CNN, which was running "Larry King Live." King was interviewing Senator Tom Harkin, who is a Dean supporter, about the governor's coming in third in the Iowa caucuses.

Harkin replied, "In 1988, Michael Dukakis came in third in Iowa, and he got the nomination."

A pompous King replied, "And lost the election."

What a douche bag!

6. But it was a disingenuous remark.

I didn't see the need for King to rub salt in the wounds of Dean's supporters. And mind you, I'm not necessarily a Dean supporter!

2. I hate the right wing paper hanger
He has to support his young wife so he will say and do anything to support the crazy right wingers.

3. It's clear why this isn't in Latest Breaking News.
Larry King's been a monumental douchebag for years.

In all fairness, he immediately added "I'm sorry, that was a low blow."

10. Once more for the broken-hearted....


King's remark was disingenuous and wholly uncalled for! Would he have said something similar to a Republican? I seriously doubt it.

If nothing else, though, King served to remind me of why I hardly ever watch TV.

8. Sorry...
Harkin gave him such a ripe setup... anyone would have taken it...

Maybe Harkin should have mentioned Clinton lost Iowa rather than Dukakis...

11. He's having guests on besides Ann Coulter and Linda Tripp?
After seeing those two twits on King's show for the 5th or 6th time, I threw in the towel, and that was a long time ago. He used to constantly feature what's his name's wife, but she died in a plane crash on 9-11.

The only way the right-wing fundies DON'T get on King's program whenever they want is if they're embalmed.

12. Larry King
is an idiot, isn't he? :puke: His interviews are obnoxious he usually appears to be a stupid fool. Besides that - he looks like he smells bad.

13. he's always been like that. I despise him, and besides
he's got a face for radio, not TV.

I can't stand looking at his gross ugly mug. I'd rather look at Lieberman.
