Fuck Larry King!

[bliss_eternal]

I'm leaving--I swear, but in the moment of preparing to sign off that ass said something else.

Why the hell is he asking people why their loved one's did not leave. Just fuck him! That is the most insensitive shit I've heard yet. Why they didn't leave is irrelevant at this point!

Where IS that smiley giving the finger?

:rant:

[RagAss]

1. Battle Creek......... Hello !

[cynatnite]

2. I haven't watched that ass-kisser since...

he talked to Michael Schiavo like a dog. Larry King is a piece of shit.

[HEyHEY]

3. I'd rather not

Answers to your questions
A; He's a terrible interviewer.
B; Perhaps he's trying to BRING to light the fact they had no money and no means of escape provided.

[bliss_eternal]

12. lol--I think I'd worry if you responded any other way....

:D

I suppose I can consider that. I hope it is that, that he is trying to be light to, and not trying to say that they were lazy, stupid, inept, etc. I hope...

[HEyHEY]

33. Well, as I said

Below...if he was trying to let people think it was the victim sfault he wouldn't give them a chance to refute that, right?

[jaxx]

16. Or he's trying to show the people should have taken care of themselves

and left like they were told to do. Nevermind they had no money or transportation and none was offered to them. It's the bootstrap theory.......do it yourself or tough shit.

[HEyHEY]

32. If he wanted to make people think that he would offer a forum to

refute it

[lolamio]

4. He told one woman the other night that maybe there is a "silver lining."

He's an asshole.

[bliss_eternal]

7. OMG--did he say exactly what that might be?

:shrug:

what is wrong with him?

[lolamio]

13. He said it as he was signing off...

To a woman who was in tears as she held pictures of her missing family members. He also told her to "hang tough." :eyes:

[bliss_eternal]

17. disgusting...

:eyes:

[XanaDUer]

29. Right! "Hang tough"

Quel schmuck.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

36. The only way that statement would be acceptable would be if

... he qualified it by saying, perhaps bush will be impeached.

[kittenpants]

18. he didn't come up with a silver lining! He just said there MIGHT be one.

he is a poor excuse for a human being blaming the dead and missing for not evacuating.

[Genki]

8. Smarmy Larry

he's an elitist snob.

[HEyHEY]

10. I imagine he said that

Cause whenever something of his is trashed....he gets a huge cheque from State Farm

[XanaDUer]

26. He told another one to buck up or something similar

Fuck Larry, these peoples' lives have been destroyed, they did not just get a scratch on their new car or a hair perm did not turn out the way they wanted it to.

Jesus. Talk about condescending and ignorant. :eyes:

[bliss_eternal]

37. yes, exactly thank you for saying it so perfectly.

So many of these reporters have made me want to punch them out this week.

:mad:

[XanaDUer]

44. You're welcome

The smarm and false sincerity of some of these talking heads is getting rather old.

[bliss_eternal]

52. Yes, it is. Wonder how smarmy they would be in the same

situation?

:eyes:

[johnfunk]

31. Well, maybe there is a silver "impeachment" lining...

... although I honestly doubt that that was the particular lining Ol' Eight Wives Live had in common.

[bliss_eternal]

39. LMAO!

I swear, I can't stop laughing! Good one!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Impeachment--ah,we can dream can't we?

[MadeinOhio]

5. Larry King is a racist piece of shit as far as anyone's concerned.

He is the worst of CNN, and the worst of the corporate media.

[HEyHEY]

11. He really is a terrible journalist

[bliss_eternal]

35. If it hadn't been for the various resources on the show

I would have turned him off immediately. Then there was a great song by Clapton. Now Harry Connick is on.

King is lucky--otherwise I swear I would have turned him OFF. But I'll never watch this crappy show again. He sucks!

[graywarrior]

6. He reminds me of one of my neighbors who I duck from

when I see him lurking in his yard.

He needs to retire.

[TomInTib]

9. Fuck Larry King!?

Ugh.
I just lost my appetite.

[bliss_eternal]

21. Oh, Tom--I'm so sorry--

I didn't mean literally, lol! Poor precious...please take the image out of your head!

LOL!

[Princess Turandot]

14. Over the years, they've turned that show into a pseudo-news program..

instead of the entertainment program it started out as. Larry King isn't a newsman and best suited to hosting Jack Hanna and a bunch of porcupines. (He also ain't getting any younger!)

[bliss_eternal]

40. Oh I know, he totally looks like Skeletor, w/glasses...!

...and suspenders!

What's up with that?

[burythehatchet]

15. ...for the hour

[glarius]

19. Speaking of King, someone on there just mentioned Jimmy Carter

and his work with Habitat for Humanity....Carter is such a wonderful, good person....When you think of what he has done with his life since leaving office and think of Bush senior who has done nothing for anyone but himself....

[bliss_eternal]

28. Oh I know---such a GREAT man!

Nominated for a nobel peace prize...no small thing. Just an example of all the amazing work he's done!

[WiseButAngrySara]

20. He is such a PRICK! Just the other night he was trying to explain why

poor people living paycheck to paycheck and without a car, or not being able to afford gas, or in denial about it being 'the big one' were all legitimate reasons for not leaving! He grew up poor, from what I recall. He should remember.

[bliss_eternal]

43. Then maybe he was trying to stress they had no other way...

but he could SAY that, as opposed to just rapid fire shooting the question out without stating specifically WHY.

Jerk.

[HEyHEY]

49. Are you being sarcastic?

[WiseButAngrySara]

59. No, just pointing out his changing views in a matter of 24 hours or so.

He first sympathized, and understood clearly why these poor people didn't evacuate, and tonight he sounded as if it was their fault; that they had an option.

[XanaDUer]

22. Ugh.

NO thanks. :puke:

[maveric]

23. Here's his mugshot.

[growlypants]

24. where are you going?

im headed for Canada very soon

[bliss_eternal]

45. I want to go up and check out Canada, too.

:hi:

[growlypants]

53. Canada is great! I love that country. So much more relaxed. I have

a house in Ontario, right on the beach of Lake Erie. Moving up there ASAP

[bliss_eternal]

57. I'm happy for you-- Really!

I'm a bit envious, though. I need to explore the country more before deciding to leave here. But I am very open to the possibility these days. VERY OPEN!

I was on the international boards here on DU last night, asking some questions.

I'd seriously like to relocate...

[growlypants]

58. Vancouver is probably the best place to live in Canada.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

25. SAT time, gang!

Larry King : Journalist as Chimp : President

[SW FL Dem]

27. I'm watching only because of the guests

Harry Connick Jr is on now, telling how Aaron Neville's daughter Charmaine saw an abandoned city bus during the evacuation of New Orleans, she got on and drove a bunch of people to safety. They just had a guy from Habitat for Humanity reading a letter from Jimmy Carter.

[klebean]

41. only listening for these tidbits...

Larry's doing his damnest to quell "negative" comments from his guests, but
they're getting their say said nonetheless.

Keep wondering why all those submerged school buses weren't deployed w/loud speakers telling people to get on and get out because Katrina will be catastrophic.

When I listened to Eric Clapton sing "Broken Hearted" I felt my heartbrokenedness over the shame I feel being American, under this adminstration...

[bliss_eternal]

46. Wasn't that a great story about Charmaine and the bus?

I was so touched by that, and by Harry. He apologized for his comments yesterday AND said he wants to personally get celebs to build houses for people through habitat!!

[Strawman]

30. He's such an empty headed moron

CNN would be hard pressed to find someone dumber to host a prime time program on a news network. Clay Aiken was just on. He sounded about a million times smarter than Larry.

My conclusion: people like dumb. He's like the Reader's Digest of TV news. He thinks and speaks in large print targeted at a lowest common denominator audience. He's senile and stupid and non-threatening. That's why people like to go on his show. He'll just kiss their asses and he seems like he doesn't even know anything about the subject he's discussing most of the time.

[johnfunk]

34. At least CNN invited Harry Connick and Eric Clapton

Made watching Eight Wives Live tolerable.

[Catherine Vincent]

38. It may not be what you think it is.

He may be asking the people so that everyone will know that most couldn't leave. Now they can hear the reason why.

[bliss_eternal]

47. You're right, it could be. He just seems rather abrupt in the

way he asks, so you really don't know what his intent is. :shrug:

[Catherine Vincent]

54. Oh, he's very abrupt with his guests and callers.

Very mean sounding. I am sure people tell him that.

[Vinca]

42. "Well, jeez Larry. The engine flooded on the Porsche, then they

dropped the Louis Vuitton bags in the muck, the poodle lost her diamond studded collar and finally . . . worst of all . . . the maid drowned and couldn't help a bit."

[young_at_heart]

48. He turned me away when he had the "Left Behind" authors on

He gave them too much respect and adoration.....it was sickening and I said, "He's history"!

[bliss_eternal]

51. Is King a big Christian? I'm surprised he had those guys on?

:shrug:

[young_at_heart]

56. He's Jewish

[bliss_eternal]

50. Great, Shriver was just on...making promises Arnie won't

want to keep!

The last thing the Fuhrer wants is more poor, minority children in his school system. :eyes:

[really annoyed]

55. Can't Stand Him

I just watched the show tonight to see one of my favorite celebrities. I never cared for his show.
