Last night CNN’s Larry King confessed to Roseanne Barr that he’s never used the Internet. King expressed doubt that the Internet was a viable political medium because “there’s 80 billion things on it.” When Barr said she liked the Internet, King acknowledged that “I’ve never done it, never gone searching.”
Barr said King would love the internet if he tried it. King replied, “I wouldn’t love it. What do you punch little buttons and things?” Barr even offered to show King how to use the Internet. King declined. Watch it:
Digg It!
Transcript:
LARRY KING: On your blog you write, “Bush is going to declare war on China next, I swear.”
ROSEANNE BARR: I was so scared because I woke up and there was the Drudge, you know. I always read the Drudge Report and it said on there that the Chinese were like, you know, spying on our subs or doing something with our subs and I was like, “Oh no, he’s going to think that’s an act of war and then we’re going to go over there next.” I mean we’re everywhere. We’re everywhere.
KING: The Internet as a political medium viable?
BARR: Yes, it’s like the only one left, absolutely, and that’s not just me saying it. That’s everybody saying it.
KING: But there’s 80 billion things on it.
BARR: Yes, but if you know where to look, you know, it all can come together. When you’re looking for the particular information that you’re looking for after you do the big search, this is what I found out by going on there, it just takes your mind and then you live in there forever. You can never come out.
KING: I’ve never done it, never gone searching.
BARR: Oh, my God! It just opens up the whole universe. It’s so awesome. You would love it.
KING: No, I wouldn’t.
BARR: Anything you want to know.
KING: The wife loves it. I wouldn’t love it. What do you punch little buttons and things?
BARR: You just click on this thing. The thing is you got to be able to read, so you have to have strong glasses when you’ve over 50 and then you just scroll down and click. It’s not that hard. I can show you how to do it.
KING: No, thanks.
Now if Larry claimed he didn't know about blood transfusions to prolong life...
I needed that laugh.....thanks!
.
'Cause Roseanne mentioned the Drudge Report.
The Internet? Is that thing still around??
Here is a man who thinks his presence is relevant to the masses. His intelligence is expressed in the probing questions he asks. He doesn't want answers or information. Thus - Barr: Here, I'll show you how to do it. King: No, Thanks!
CNN's big star. Cutting edge journalism. Pathetic.
Yes Larry, we stopped using the stone tablets when we moved out of Bedrock ... sheesh.
Larry also doesn't believe in ANY higher power or religion either...that came out just this past week...interesting that we see 2 stories on King recently. When usually nobody gives a damn.
Yeah, this is ridiculous. CNN can't even pretend this guy has any clue or any business asking important people questions when he's never even been on the internet. Welcome to 2006 Larry.
His "No thanks" attitude of denial reminds me of the time I was at my hair dresser's shop and he asked one of his co-workers whether she'd heard about a particular current event. She repeated the phrase "I don't watch the news" at least three times (I guess it was her mantra) and practically ran around the salon like a chicken with her head cut off to try to escape discussing current events, because she knew she couldn't.
People like this who seem to be afraid of learning something just mystify me.
Larry King, the King of Vapid.
Does someone feed him EVERY question he asks of guests, or just give him hand-cut clips out of obsolete newspapers to prepare for the show?
If he were wise, he'd invite Bill Gates to come on the show and introduce him to the Internet - it'd be a win-win. Uh, is there some new product out from Microsoft right about now? I DON'T WATCH THE NEWS!!!
Larry's never read a book by his guests before they've appeared on the shows either (he mentioned this back in his radio daze).
I suspect he's never used a typewriter either.
I thought that "people networking with one another" thing was just a fad.
Larry King has important guests? Like who? Rosanne Barrnold?
Just another dinosaur..............
King: Well, folks, we'll be broadcasting from Los Angeles next week, so tune in Monday. Gosh, I hope my train isn't delayed.
