Kitty Kelley blacklisted by Larry King (emcee for Pappy's 80th birthday)?


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6908974/

Has Kitty Kelley been blackballed from Larry King Live?

The tell-all biographer says that last week’s announcement that Prince Charles would wed long-time sweetie Camilla Parker-Bowles is the first time since she wrote her best selling book on the Royals that she wasn’t invited on King’s show to discuss a major story on the monarchy. Instead, fashion maven and comedienne Joan Rivers was invited to discuss the coming nuptials.

“I didn’t realize that writing the Bush book would get me banished from Larry Kingdom,” Kelley told The Scoop. “I had been on his show a lot. I knew when the Bush book came out that Larry King had been the emcee for George Herbert Walker Bush’s 80th birthday party, so I understood he didn’t want to lose his friendship with the Bushes and interview me then. I didn’t realize I’d be drop-kicked off the show forever.”

King’s office didn’t return calls for comment.

1. Stir that publicity pot, kitty
I think America did not hear nearly enough about your book and the Bush family when it first came out.

Let's re-hash the whole thing, shall we?

2. An aside,
Not wishing to rush Larry's death, but when he dies, other that his new young wife, and family, few in the public will miss him or notice that he's gone.

3. The best thing Kelley can do
Is to lean on her publishers to get this book out in paperback so that it can start selling again. Many more people need to read it.

10. Absolutely
I thought it was well worth the read. It was very enlightening and I haven't seen anybody suing over it.

4. All Larry King cares for the acceptance of the media and political
alete. He is not a journalist but an ass kisser.

8. And she was blacklisted because of her Bush family book.
I'm quite sure she doesn't have amnesia. She just wanted to make a point.

6. Larry King was once a liberal and a fighter.
He morphed also. It is really interesting to know how much a person changes working for a propaganda network. A rare employee doesn't cave and pimp.

When I see his face I counter it with the faces and voices of the former employees who appeared in the documentary about FOX.
