Johnny Carson, retired king of late-night television, has emphysema, but says it isn't causing any major problems.

Carson had just finished playing tennis when he learned of a tabloid report that claimed he is seriously ill.

A National Enquirer story that the New York Post cited in Thursday's editions said the 76-year-old Carson had become a virtual recluse aboard his luxury yacht.

The (so-called) American Broadcasting Company radio network led with this (so-called) story on their (so-called) news last night.

Seems he can still find enough breath to bad-mouth the President.
