Larry King plans to quiz Bush on Ken Lay, Lieberman.
Larry King is interviewing President Bush and the First Lady tonight. He told CNN.com he may ask his first question about Ken Lay because “Lay was a friend of his.” King added, “I’ll definitely ask about Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman… I’d like to know if Bush would support him as an independent.”

Quiz? – - Bush getting “quizzed” by Larry King is like one of those lucky passengers bumped from a doomed flight.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:28 pmOf course Bush would support Lieberman, they are two peas in a pod.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:28 pmI agree with badmoodman. King is about as tough an interviewer as Hume.

July 6th, 2006 at 2:31 pmDid you see the Texas ruling on Delay? The GOP cannot replace Delay on the ballot in November!!!
let’s just see if larry king REMEMBERS by tonight…the man is 430 years old and his interviewing style ‘i don’t want to know anything before the guest sits down’ is beginning to show how idiotic this aged dolt really is…
cnn is for the terrorists and i don’t know why my president is going on…
kisses,

July 6th, 2006 at 2:32 pmI’d rather Larry ‘quiz’ Heir Bush and his doting bobblehead wife about Bush’s failed Presidency, where Osama is, when will we bring the troops home from Iraq and the sort…
I’m sure there will only be more ridiculous Bushisms to laugh over…
“Because he’s hiding.”

Guess I will have to read the interview later because I am not gonna waste any time listening to that incompetent ‘murkan’ guy who thinks he is Ihesus Rex.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:36 pmI don’t suppose they’ll be taking call in questions.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:37 pmpoor larry, what a joke he has become

must watch if you all haven’t already.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:38 pmLarry King should call Liberman a creepo, but he is too nice to say the truth about Joe ‘Benedict Arnold’ Lieberman on his show!

great read.
and why did lyou erase it tp from the other thread?
lately it seems that you all are following the criminals or just losing your balls that you once had.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:41 pm“As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself — not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar. I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch. As a matter of fact, the Colonel asked if I needed first aid when she first saw me. I was able to avoid any major surgical operations here, but thanks for your compassion, Colonel.”
—George W. Bush, after visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1, 2006
July 6th, 2006 at 2:41 pmI just posted an article I wrote on Lieberman today on ThinkFast AM thread > #92!
July 6th, 2006 at 2:43 pmlarry king is a wuss. simply put. he can enjoy is ass-kissin time
July 6th, 2006 at 2:43 pmLarry King “quizzing” the President is like asking him for marital advice.
Un-f’in-believable

are you serious? that is not even worth a comment.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:45 pm#16 – I disagree…this so called president has out his foot in his mouth and has shoved his head up his ass more times than any politician I have EVER heard!!!
July 6th, 2006 at 2:47 pmHere goes;
L: “So, where were you when you learned about the death of Ken Lay?”
B: “I was clearing brush and the like, and thinkin about suiciders and evildoers….”
L: “So, you must be upset that he has passed, he was your friend…”
B: (chuckles, smiles, winks) I am upset when anyone passes Larry….”
L: Okay, caller from Kalamazoo, your’e on with the President and First Lady….”
And that, my compatriots, will be the extent of the excavation…….

July 6th, 2006 at 2:49 pmOh no! Larry King “of softballs” is going to ask BUsh about Lay and Lieberman! Will the earth survive this cataclysmic battle of wits?
Lol. Please. Larry King is an idiot and I can’t believe his show has been on the air so long. Never have I seen/heard such pointless, uninformed questions being asked to guests. Never before have I seen a host, who although nice, so determined to be friends with every single guest. Has King EVER asked a tough question in his life?
Here is what will happen. King will ask Bush his thoughts/comments on Lay’s death. He will ask BUsh about the nature of their relationship. Bush will say he regrets it and his thoughts/prayers go out to his family and that he knew Lay for years but not lcose enough to be called friends. Then King will ask Bush if he supports Leiberman and BUsh will give an answer to the effect of he congratulates Lieberman for putting aside partisan politics and for wanting to work together to make America a better place.
Then King will ask about Bush’s dog.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:50 pmHahahahahahaha!! That’s a good one, TP!
Larry King quizzing….anyone.
Lightening strikes nearby, I’m outta here…
July 6th, 2006 at 2:51 pmAnyone who thinks Rove would allow Junior to appear on national television for an unscripted quizzing………
July 6th, 2006 at 2:51 pmRosencrantz – do you really think King will be that tough on him?
July 6th, 2006 at 2:52 pmAnyone who thinks Rove would allow Junior to appear on national television for an unscripted quizzing………
Comment by Abby — July 6, 2006 @ 2:51 pm
Of course not… Larry’s just trying to hype his show. I think Dr. Strangelove pretty much hit the nail on the head with the type of ‘quizzing’ that will occur.
It’s easy to tell when Junior has actually been lobbed an unrehersed question – he studders and sputters and never really answers it.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:56 pmLarry King can say what he will about how and about what he will question the boy-king, but there will be scripts memorized, if not teleprompted. Laura will be wearing especially pointy-toed shoes under the desk, and watch for a bulge in Bushie’s jacket, or a “button” in his ear.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:58 pmThe King of softballs and deference will never ask a tough question – but in the case of the boy-king, any question is potentially dangerous, so Rove will surely have this one covered.
Perhaps Larry King might want to ask Bush about his 2002 quote denying his well-documented friendship with Ken Lay:
“I got to know Ken Lay when he was the head of the-what they call the Governor’s Business Council in Texas. He was a supporter of Ann Richards in my run in 1994. And she had named him the head of the Governor’s Business Council. And I decided to leave him in place, just for the sake of continuity. And that’s when I first got to know Ken.”
For the history, see:
July 6th, 2006 at 3:12 pm“Bush Lies About Ken Lay.”
HI! I’m Larry King!
July 6th, 2006 at 3:18 pmJust one dose of Garleeq a day can reduce your
chances of heart attack. Combine that with Welch’s
Grape Juice, & you may never die.
In fact, I’m having open heart surgery right now!
See, they’re pouring Garleeq straight into my Aorta.
Once they transfuse me with grape juice, I’ll be outta
here in about 10minutes, ’cause I get to interview the
AWOL king tonight.
See Ya!
Larry’s Heart is very funny. Too bad his heart doesn’t do the interviewing!!!
July 6th, 2006 at 3:23 pmLarry! You go boy with your reknown hard-hitting interviewing “style!”
July 6th, 2006 at 3:46 pmHad a perhaps somewhat macabre cartoon idea, can’t resist sharing it,still………….
“The Last Supper”, with George, Dick, Karl, Rummy, and enough other of their nefarious pals to make an even dozen; leering at Ken Lay in the middle saying “Check please…………”
July 6th, 2006 at 3:56 pmIf Lieberman has to run as an independent, its because his party left him just like they left Zell Miller and my guess is that he will still win! Go Joe!
July 6th, 2006 at 4:06 pmzell miller…now, he’s hot! we drink blood together.
kisses,
ann
July 6th, 2006 at 4:12 pm#31, If Zell Miller had been a Dem, you’d have a point.
July 6th, 2006 at 4:12 pmI’m not sure what he is, but is sure as HELL isn’t progressive!
‘If Lieberman has to run as an independent’, indeed. He should
just run! As fast as he can! Anywhere but Washington.
That mealy mouthed dough faced tit boy reminds me of Specter…
all talk, no action. (Or is it Rush?)
The comments on this blog post are scathing:

July 6th, 2006 at 4:43 pmLay faked his own death… that was a “John Doe” the autopsy was performed on…

July 6th, 2006 at 5:44 pmAsk about PNAC and what Bush felt when they got their new pearl harbor.
July 6th, 2006 at 7:18 pmIt’s your journalistic duty to expose the crimes of the elite.
Instead of telling his Vietnam war stories, like escaping a massive explosion while running in slow-motion like Slyvester Stallone, while carrying two wounded buddies, on each arm while firing a heavy round with his M16, with his teeth, I guess viewers will have to listen to his stale birthday party stories.
July 6th, 2006 at 7:46 pmIf Lieberman has to run as an independent, its because his party left him just like they left Zell Miller and my guess is that he will still win! Go Joe!
