Larry King: What is it about him? Because he's no Clark Gable

[FrenchieCat]

That was Larry King talking to Ms. Huffington,
asking what the fascination with Barack is all about.


But really, what kind of a comment is that to make on National Television
about our new President?

Perhaps Larry King ain't no Clark Cable.....
but Larry King can kiss my ass.


Why should Obama be compared to a dead White actor from the 40s? :wtf:

Is Larry King ready to retire, or will he have to drop dead on the set?
Cause I'm kinda almost ready for that.

[Enrique]

1. lol

that's such a Larry King thing to say. :-)

[FrenchieCat]

3. Fucking clueless old coot!

I guess Clark Gable was the high Bar for Larry King's generation.... :shrug:

Larry King is obviously quite superficial....since he doesn't understand that it ain't one thing, its the total package.

But then I remember seeing his gold digging trophy looking wife.

[Bolo Boffin]

2. Oh, come on. Back in the day, when he was a young lad...

...helping refine the Clovis point, he was a looker, I bet.

[bertman]

18. ". . . helping refine the Clovis point . . ."

:rofl:

[ddeclue]

4. Larry's a clueless dumbass who does fluff piece entertainment interviews 99% of the time

and only rarely dabbles in political or hard news interviews.

His audience is the same group of people that buy the Star and the Enquirer.

:eyes:

oh and Obama's not Clark Gable you moran...he's Denzel!

:)

[Jim Sagle]

14. Strangely enuf, he interviewed Al Gore once. It was a VERY tough grilling.

But that's 'cuz Gore was a Democrat.

[Maru Kitteh]

5. Don't take it too hard. Larry talks to hear Larry talk. I'm surprised he didn't refrence Valentino.

Or go back even further. Who was considered hawt in 1884?

[FrenchieCat]

6. Might as well just gone back to 1863 and used Lincoln!

That's what the others in their right minds do!

[avaistheone1]

7. Larry King is very out of touch. He is only plugged into what the

old wealthy guys of his own generation are interested in.

I think Clark Gable was a great icon and actor.

I think Obama is proving himself to be a great icon and hopefully a great president.

Larry King is a has been TV host.

[CreekDog]

8. That reference pre dates even Larry King

goofball. :crazy:

[pnwmom]

9. He's far more handsome, caring and intelligent than Clark Gable.

What an odd comparison.

[ashling]

10. Frankly Mr. King,

I don't give a damn!

[ddeclue]

11. DUZY worthy!

:rofl:

[ashling]

13. Tamarah is anotha day.

Thank you

[Enthusiast]

12. What was her answer?

I could answer: "Finally, we have an articulate and intelligent president that doesn't have the ulterior motive of enriching himself and his friends at the expense of the country."

[Raine]

15. Typical Larry

he often sticks his big foot in his mouth and says dumb stuff. :silly:

[pam4water]

16. He's the Joe the Plumber of CNN.

[Clio the Leo]

17. While Clark Gable was hot....

... he would NEVER have been able to help us fix this mess we're in.

It's the brains baby the brains ..... and the empathetic spirit ..... the introspective nature ..... the self-depricating humor..... and, most importantly, the desire to learn.

(and it's also the lanky body, the pigeon toes, the high cheekbones, the large hands, the ENORMOUS grin and, if you'll forgive me, the pimp in his walk. The man would be my "type" if he was working in a sewer. And we all know he'd be the BEST sanitation worker he could be! lol)

READ that book son!!! RULE THE WORLD!!!!

[bertman]

19. What's the book title, Clio? I can only read the word "WORLD".

[Clio the Leo]

21. Oh, there's a cool story behind that.....

I dont know if you remember, but he did an appearance on CNN's Fareed Zakaria last summer.



The other photo I posted shows him reading Zakaria's "The Post-American World" a full month BEFORE Fareed invited him onto the show.

It's not exactly the sports page of the Houston Chorincle.

We're going to have to adjust to a President who likes books. lol

[bertman]

24. Thanks, Clio. Is it worth the read?

[Clio the Leo]

29. I dunno....

... the only time I manage to get a book in is if the President is reading it to me. (an Audiobook that is.)

He should come out with a whole series of those .... it would expand my literary palate. You know, "President Obama Reads the Literary Greats" lol

[bdamomma]

20. Larry King a washed up repig.

shut the hell up Larry!!!

[theboss]

22. Come on...this is what makes Larry Larry.

Later tonight, Secretary General of the UN...but first Suzanne Somers......

[Z_I_Peevey]

37. I like pie!

Clark Gable liked pie too.

[Uzybone]

23. Whats the fascination with Usher? I mean; he ain't no Sinatra.

[bertman]

32. I hear you Uzybone. Usher comes on stage on Saturday and says to the crowd

that is already ON CLOUD NINE and having a FREAKING BLAST "Y'all ready to have some fun?" Like nobody's already rockin out. Give me a break, Usher. You ain't the be all and end all even if you are hanging with not-so-little Stevie (who was killer, yes indeed).

[bigwillq]

25. Larry needs to retire.

He's irrelevant.

[NashVegas]

26. We've Moved Way Past Clark Gable

Now we're on Clooney, Denzel, Will, Brad, Djimon, Clive and Seal.

[gauguin57]

27. Wait, he actually said Barack Obama is "no Clark Gable"?

What in the WORLD? Larry King is so out of touch as to be living on another planet!

And President Obama is much better looking than Clark Gable, anyway.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

28. The same should really be asked about Larry King.

Obama's appeal is easy to see. OTOH, Larry the Cryptkeeper should have gone off the air years ago. Basically, Larry's jealous.

[EraOfResponsibility]

30. I'm afraid to ask how old Larry King is

the shock might knock me back.

[Balderdash]

31. Larry King has got to be about finished.

I'm a lesbian and I thought he was hot yesterday in his
white tie.

[Cha]

33. Poor larry king..

broadcasting he doesn't have a clue.

[marshall]

34. Clark Gable was no Clark Gable.

It's all about the hype. You can't explain it, you just have to let it flow over you.

[bridgit]

35. Frenchie? He *is* no Clark Gable. He's no Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, or

Neil deGrasse Tyson for that matter. Where is any of this really going?

[WI_DEM]

36. Clark Gable? The man has been dead since 1961!

[11 Bravo]

38. So has Larry King.

He just doesn't know it yet.
