oh good.

King and Baba Wawa are going to the same Mummifier so they'll be well preserved and broadcasting their mediocrtiy and incompetence well into their 100s.

I wonder if Larry King's exclusive One hour interview of Hillary Clinton in Prime Time the night before the Pennsylvania primary had anything to do with the extension of Larry's contract to 2010.

I suspect that Larry and CNN are in support of Hillary.

In Canada and other countries like Britain and France the media is not permitted to show support for one candidate by giving them publicity and neglecting to give the same to his/her opponent or opponents before an election.

CNN will never get that "old man smell" out of that studio now.

Also CNN will offset the cost of his contract with purchases of stock in every pharmaceutical manufacturer in Larry King's medicine cabinet.

OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS.....HELLO!!!

CNN needs to wake up. Larry King is too senile to host a TV show. He's about 5 years past his prime.

Watching Larry King is like watching a train wreck. He seems lost and clueless.

UGH!
Why????????
He is so irrelevant and out of touch.
