Larry King took his first commercial flight since September 11 recently, and the airport security people, sensing a rare opportunity for fame-fondling, took a little advantage when he failed the metal detector test. "They had to give me the complete body search. So I had to stand there with [my] arms [out], and they are talking with me at the same time, 'loved the show last night, turn over your belt,' and then they grab you by the privates. They examined me pretty good."

Either Bill Maher was doing his best effort to impersonate Mel Brooks as King Louis XVI in "History in the World, Part I" or he has a complete and utter disregard for the intellectual competency of the American people. Maher, a perennial bomb thrower with a hard left ideology appeared on CNN's Feb. 16 "Larry King Live," facing the king of softball interviews, Larry King, and let it be known he thought alleged terrorism plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried in New York City and that health care should be forced through by the Obama administration, despite the wishes...

Here is video of Vice-President Joe Biden telling Larry King that "the idea of there being a massive attack on the United States like 9-11 is unlikely in my view." King had asked Biden about reports that intelligence officials believe the U.S. will face another terrorist attack for certain in the next few months.

Michael Moore: I can understand why Republicans and some of the people on the right, lol, are like, 'What are you doing setting a deadline?'. It's like CRAZY. If they're truly the enemy, you don't say, 'Okay, we're going to fight you until 2:00 on ummm (looks at watch), on July 2, 2011. I mean it's like, if they are the enemy, you fight them until they're done. Until you win, and they lose. And that's not what he said. He just provided more fodder for his opponents by giving a deadline. Larry KIng: Right Michael Moore: If somebody is...

She debates ObamaCare with Al Sharpton.

Here is video of Carrie PreJean on Larry King Live last night where there was a really bizarre exchange between PreJean and King. King asked PreJean why she agreed to settle out of court in a lawsuit against the Pageant that fired her. PreJean said she could not talk about the terms of the settlement because it was a confidential agreement. King persisted in asking "why" she settled, not about the terms of the settlement. PreJean then told King he was being "inappropriate," and that she could not talk about the settlement. King moved on and took a call but...

Here is video of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a rising star (which I measure from the fact that the Left hates her almost as much as Palin) in the conservative movement, being interviewed by a perplexed and frustrated Larry King. Bachmann points out that Americans, in order to "get the truth," are turning to Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck. King repeatedly interrupts her, attempting to minimize the size of their respective audiences, incorrectly stating that they capture "only 2% of the population."

Here is video of GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann clearly agitating Larry King by praising Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck as the places Americans are turning to in order to get "the truth." King tried to interrupt her, and diss the audience of the three conservatives, saying it is "only 2% of the population. Actually, Rush Limbaugh's audience alone is over 20 million people, which is 6% of the population. . . . (VIDEO)

CNN’s Larry King fawned over Michael Moore during an hour-long interview on his program on Wednesday, calling the leftist’s latest feature “a brilliant documentary,” and went on to label the director “our number one propagandist.” King encouraged all of his viewers to see Moore’s “Capitalism: A Love Story,” which was released in New York City and L.A. earlier that day. The CNN anchor led his 9 pm Eastern program with his gush over the apparent magnificence of Moore and his latest documentary: “I’ve seen this movie, and I’ll tell you, whether people agree or disagree with it- and there will...

Here is video from Larry King Live last night where James Carville and Liz Cheney debating about Gov. Sarah Palin's resignation, President Obama's drive to bring Government Health Care to America, and the scandal over Gov. Mark Sanford's affair with a woman from Argentina. Carville was his usual nasty self, and Cheney was well-spoken and did a good job holding her own. On Sarah Palin, Cheney pointed out that feminists and liberal hate Sarah Palin because she balances home and professional life, and is staunchly pro-life. . . . . (Watch Video)

Larry King's addiction: Michael Jackson Three weeks after the King of Pop's death, other media outlets have largely moved on, while the CNN host has devoted much of his programming to Jackson. Even guest Mark Geragos seems exasperated. James Rainey July 17, 2009. An intervention couldn't save Michael Jackson, but maybe it's not too late for Larry King. The King of Talk can't stop blathering about the King of Pop. It's been building for three weeks now, getting more and more absurd. Night after night, the CNN host tosses out sentence-fragment questions ("Brain not returned to the family . ....

As the gay marriage movement begins to gain momentum, Pastor Rick Warren, best known for his best-selling book The Purpose Driven Life, is apologizing to the gay community for making comments supporting California’s Proposition 8. During a Monday on Larry King Live, the mega-church pastor claims he “never once even gave an endorsement” of the marriage amendment only to later state that he regretted supporting it. Proposition 8 protects the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, thereby eliminating same-sex couple’s right to marry. Although Warren publicly spoke out in support of Proposition 8 just weeks before...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: To Stanton, Michigan, or what's left of it, anyway. This is Dawn, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi. CALLER: Hello, Rush. I would like to address the lady who wanted to know what smart is. I consider myself very intelligent. I'm not very smart.

A quick listen to Ms McCain's voice on this video clip of her appearance on CNN's Larry King Live last night brought back memories of the years your humble correspondent spent in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, birthplace of the Valley Girl accent which, unfortunately, spread to many parts of the country. That Valspeak accent still painfully reverberates in my ears yet despite my earnest hope that it would...
