Yes, because the president doesn't have an entire cabinet of people to which he consorts with on a daily basis at minimum. Larry goes light on everyone all the time every show. I don't think I have ever seen him even try to take a cut at someone. I want to find that clip where even Jerry Seinfeld rips into him; it is great. I will make it my frist sift if it isn't already sifted.


Edit: Its been sifted here

It hurts everytime I watch it. Even when Jerry goes for the kill he just sits there and takes it. In someways its nice to take your chops, but Larry is always super type b even when people have it coming to them.

Beautifully said, even suspender-wearing doofus Larry King can't deny those words.

Tim Russert. I met him when I was a graduate student and was doing free-lance work for NBC-News in Lebanon. He was the rising star in the network then. I did not know him at all but he represents something not necessarily good or impressive about U.S. media. He was talented and was a good interrogator and was very well-prepared: but these are basic qualities that all journalists should possess; and journalists in Europe, for example, possess those qualities.

But he also represented this tendency that you have be chummy with politicians, and that it is all a big joke--the political differences and the disagreements. Russert has a horrible record on the Bush administration: he was least critical and least skeptical. How can you take his coverage seriously, when he would interview the president one day, and then take his son to take his picture in the Oval Office the next day? He really did that: or when he marvels about how "a kid from Buffalo" is sitting in the Oval Office. What is the big deal, I don't get it. He represents that annoying tendency in the U.S. to indulge in self-praise and self-congratulations. He is one of those who have to say "only in America" several times a day. He also represented patriotic journalism --according to which you should not question an administration in a time of war.

He also has this nostalgic view of parents and grandparents: the glorification of the past, with little regard for the plight of women, minorities, homosexuals in this past. The "greatest generation" that Brokaw wrote so much about was a generation that practiced segregation, that confined women to their homes, that watched lynching of blacks, that blatantly beat homosexuals, that spoke about "the others" only in vulgar and pejorative terms. Yesterday, Chris Mathews outed him on MSNBC: he said that Russert was a supporter of the American invasion of Iraq. No kidding. It was quite obvious. Russert started his career by working for one of the worst (and most politically racialist) Senators: Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

It is also that common revolving door policy: to have journalists moving from the corridors of power to the newsrooms. Russert worked for Mynihan and for Mario Cuomo before coming to NBC-News. On Israel, Russert was horrible: he would always challenge politicians if they have the slightest skepticism toward Israel and its crimes. The standards of political courage are so different in the U.S. from what they are in Europe, for example. Here, if they ask one mild question (the standard for questioning being Larry King), it is considered courageous. Look back at Russert's interviews with Rumsfeld and Bush after Sep. 11: they did not show hints of skepticism. He was a war promoter.

Given Larry Kings success with drugs for depression and his friendship with Tom, he probably is trying to be take a patient and reasoning stand. He prolly has a foot in the door with Cruise, and hopes that he can gently get cruise to question his anti-psycaitry stance.

Where as Kathy Griffin doesnt care. Fair enough.

Is there such a thing as ha-ha hot? Maybe haha likeable. Not joke is going to make me sleep with a woman.

I would have liked to see them have a REAL discussion on the issues that Larry King threw out there. But that's too much to ask, I suppose.

Concision sucks.
TV sucks.
Larry King Live REALLY sucks.

Either Larry King is totally oblivious or he has been let in on the joke but has no sense of comic timing whatsoever.

I think most sane people would agree that Sylvia and may of those like her are a bunch of hacks.

What is equally bad however is scum like Montel continually having her on his show. Larry King is not much better. People look to the Montels and Larry's as "reliable" so if they believe it, then it must be true.

They are equally to blame!

Bah, thats ashame
I've fixed it with a snip from the interview. A YouTube search might reveal more.

In a related note, when you watch this, think of Larry King - dancing.

>> ^Krupo:
I'll take the bait. Comedians are well-known for being hateful - many of his jokes are more hate than ha-ha.
The American scandals are freakin' overblown - in the sense that you might as well condemn minor league hockey and boy scouts organizations for being bastions of evil too, then.
Catholic Church: Universal & Eternal Salvation FTW!


Wow, that's some serious denial you got going on there. Try looking up a few topics like the Crusades, the Inquisition, Witch Hunts... That's an organization to be proud of! Murder in the name of the Lord!

Oh, but them comedians! They're hateful! How pathetic.

>> ^Krupo:
Maher's done nowhere near the amount of Good Things that the Catholic Church has done. If anyone's "more destructive", it's him.

How much good the Catholic Church has done is debatable...but your fooling yourself if you believe what the Catholic Church has done over the years is less destructive then Bill Maher. Bill Maher after all is just a comedian with an opinion and a TV show to share that opinion and talk about the issues he thinks is important.

The list of "destructive" things the Catholic Church has done doesn't even compare to that....the child molesting problem alone far out weighs anything Maher is capable of with his TV show and opinions.
