Larry KING is a better "journalist" than G.E.Russert, Tweety, & many others!1 n/t

1. you're joking i hope

nt

[JI7]

2. Larry King isn't a journalist

[UTUSN]

16. Neither was G.E. Russert!1 n/t

[Cleita]

3. Larry King doesn't consider himself a journalist.

He self-described himself as a feature's interviewer whatever the hell that is. Anyhoo, I thought I would throw that in here. It probably means nothing.

4. If you are going to make a provocative statement like this...

You ought to back it up with SOME sort of examples, make clear that you are being sarcastic, or not bother posting anything at all.

[UTUSN]

5. O.K., you, my ever present flack audience:

LK doesn't pretend to be a "journalist" and he lets whoever have their say.


Why should *I* "not bother posting anything at all" if YOU do?!1

[GOPNotForMe]

8. Well, since you asked...

I don't fool myself into thinking that every random thought that pops into my head warrants a new posting on DU. I tend to believe that doing so merely dilutes any posts of actual merit by me or by others. And further, this topic has been done over and over again for days now.

[UTUSN]

9. And yet, you consider yourself to be worthy!1 n/t

[GOPNotForMe]

14. I spoke of a post's worthiness, not an individual's. Please don't confound the issue.

[UTUSN]

17. *I* wouldn't barge into YOUR thread, but that's just ME!1 n/t

[GOPNotForMe]

19. I didn't realize I was intruding. I thought this was an open forum.

On that note, and despite how much I am getting from this highly stimulating and though-provoking conversation, I will leave "YOUR" thread alone. Au revoir.

[UTUSN]

21. Oh, it's OPEN, but "intruding" ought to be obvious to anybody!1 n/t

[UTUSN]

6. Here, for YOU: Jack WELCH said, "Every G.E. employee believes RUSSERT is 'THERE' for him!1" n/t

[UTUSN]

7. Another, just for YOU!1 "Integrity is for PAUPERS!1" (saith Little Russ) n/t

[Beregond2]

10. Way to join the "let's pile-on the dead guy" gang. Classy.

[UTUSN]

13. Who pretended to be "classy" ---------YOU?!1 n/t

[pt22]

11. Those girl scout cookies had certain ingredients you failed to notice.

:scared:

[UTUSN]

12. Just for YOU:

[Kahuna]

15. Say what????

:wow:

[UTUSN]

18. (Apparently my response didn't post the 1st time: ) Et tu?!1 n/t

[UTUSN]

20. HooKAY!1 I'm retiring for the evening, but it was certainly not your company!1 n/t

[Blue-Jay]

22. Do NOT insult Larry King in my presence!

He's my grandpa.

[UTUSN]

23. HaHAH!1

[Blue-Jay]

24. David Byrne owes Grampy royalties for the line "My GOD, What have I done?"

[PeaceNikki]

31. Oh no you di-in't!!

:o

[XtraProudDem]

25. Is THIS how you got up to 1000+ posts?

Is it?

[Blue-Jay]

26. Actually, you reach that number by posting a lot.

Are you in need of assistance?

[XtraProudDem]

27. You misunderstood me

I was asking if posting many short one-liner posts that don't make any sense was a good way to get to 1000.

[Blue-Jay]

28. Possibly. How would YOU do it?

[varkam]

29. Say whaaat?!

Leery King a journalist? What?

[HEyHEY]

30. Let's not say things we can't take back
