Larry King is a Whuss


Question? When did Larry King sell out and become a total media whore? I admit I have not watched Larry King on CNN for years now. I used to listen to his radio show quite a bit but then my local news/talk station moved his show time and it just not coincided with my schedule. Also since I got satellite radio a few years ago that really cut into my opprutunities for listening.

Larry King used to be a decent interviewer. I remember when I was in college I would tune into Larry and listen to him in the evenings. He I remember his having a good mix of entertainment people, politicans and other interesting folks. I also remember Larry as someone who would ask a difficult question now and again.

In the past few weeks I have walked into a room with a television left on and I have stumbled across Larry King Live on. I sat down and caught a few minutes of a couple shows and I have to say I was quite surprised. Frist of all it looks like Larry has cashed it in on the interviewing duties. I am pretty sure the guests walk into the studio and hand Larry a script. He just sits there and reads the questions. Second, when did he just turn into a stagging area for the gossip rags? My god, I tuned in the other night and they were talking about Scott Peterson again and they had on his pathetic lawyer Mark Geragos. Another guest was Gerry Spence. Gerry Spence, are you kidding me? That guy has not done a significant piece of legal work in the past 15 years. Yet there he is, again (for probably the 5ooth time) on Larry's show brought in to comment on a difficult legal matter. And Gerry was just pimping his website over and over again. "Larry for more of my thoughts on the subject visit www.gerryspence.com where folks can download my opinions and insights". Gerry is offering his opinion via download because no publisher in the world would publish another Gerry Spence book. (Actually there probably is someone, which is more depressing) This guy is so irrealivant it is not even funny. Yet there he is in front of the camera while Larry just sits there and props them up.

It was a very pathetic display if I must say. By the way, he Larry still married to that money grubber from Utah? I am sure Larry is just showing up to work to get his check. He needs to keep mamma happy.

This is the first and last request to take down the picture of Larry King from this website.

You are appropriating the image of Larry King with out permission.

If this picture is still here in 48 hours, you will be served in a court order to remove the picture. This may involve you paying legal costs and fees involved in the enforcement action.

While we can not control your bile-filled tirades because of that dang first amendment, believe me, W and Alberto Gonzalez are working at dismantling that antiquated law.
