What's your take on Larry King and the Dixie Chicks?

[goclark]

I was in awe of them ~ all three of the Dixie Chicks were awesome with every response in my my opinion.

Larry really got hot when the caller praised them for agreeing with "70% of Americans against the War."

He snapped back at the caller and "corrected" her that it was,"60% NOT 70%."

Then a caller said that he admired the Chicks for giving a live interview and taking calls.

He said that Rumsfeld wouldn't take calls.

King quickly corrected the caller and let told him that Rummy was taped that is why there were no call ins.

1. They were great

From Larry the usual dribble.

Natalie corrected him and said she read it was actually 72%! That was good. I missed the end, I finally caught it at like 3am and just couldn't stay away anymore.

[goclark]

3. Wow! I couldn't hear her when she said 72%

Go Natalie, I'm buying the album today.

I heard her say something but my bad ear and her beautiful Southern talk didn't get together on that one!

Larry must have been really steamed.

He seemed to show his true colors on that interview, IMO.

[Patsy Stone]

2. They were great

But he's dead and he's simply propped up there.

[goclark]

4. Propped up with bricks and cement :)

With all the brilliant people in the world why do we have to listen to Tweety, Timmy, Larry etc. all day and all night.

I know you'll say, turn off my television.

But --- if I did that, I wouldn't have been able to see the amazing Dixie Chicks.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Larry's gonna be there until

they carry him out feet first. I don't think the rest of them will be. He's from a different time.

[goclark]

12. How in hell can KING keep so much power?

I heard that his ratings are in the tank ~ right?

[lectrobyte]

43. Beats me. I'm amazed he has a show on TV, period. Ditto for Imus.

[goclark]

44. I scratch my head for KING and IMUS

Just can't figure it out ~ nor a clue why there is a Tim Russet or Chris Mathews or Candy Crowley or all the rest of the sorry bunch.

None of them can hold a candle to Keith Olberman.

[Joe Chi Minh]

5. "King quickly corrected the caller and told him that Rummy

was taped, that is why there were no call ins."

That's not correcting them! It's unequivocally confirming their contention: that it was pre-recorded, without the possibility of questions and answers.

[goclark]

6. I totally agree with you ~ he is a BIG shill

and he showed his true colors with that response.

He was really upset and wanted to kiss Rummy some more but his Ambien must have been making him sleepy by that time.

He seems to do so well with people like Merv Griffin, he is lost in the 40's.

[napi21]

8. Also with the ABILITY to edit!!!!

I accept the fact that there are some guests who, for a lot of reasons, cannot appear live, but it always amuses me when most of the very controversial ones are always taped! Not only on LK, but on all shows! Helps keep their feet out of their mouth!

[tulsakatz]

15. it also prevents them from....

...being held accountable!!!

No Ray McGoverns to interrupt their well scripted propoganda......

[goclark]

17. Exact;y ~ they don't want to hear from any of us nt

[WatchWhatISay]

7. He kept asking over and over if they regretted what Natalie said

As if by asking again and again, he could get them to feel that their earlier answers needed amending, but they never did, they stuck to their guns. Just like the song says.

[Joe Chi Minh]

10. It's a pity they didn't ask King why he kept asking them such a

peculiar question. It would have been interesting to hear his reply, to a group of young woman who are as popular as Bush and his supporters are unpopular.

[goclark]

11. I loved the way they handled him with gloves of velvet

He tried over and over to bait each one and they were just so classy!

[AX10]

13. It was fine. I saw no hostility from Larry.

[goclark]

19. Larry is to tired to be truly "hostile." He is awake/asleep. nt

[AlCzervik]

14. He seems a little out of it to me but i didn't sense any bad

vibes towards them. time for Larry to pack it in.

[adriennui]

16. the dixie chicks were great on the howard stern show

they were intelligent, fun, and extremely likable. he asks the right questions.

[goclark]

18. I would have loved to see them on Howard Stern

I would love to see them with Tweety ~ they would bash him into next year!

[Ringo84]

20. Re:

I didn't watch, but it sounds great to me. Every time I hear about the Dixie Chicks, my admiration for them increases.

I thought that Larry King was a liberal. Guess not. (Please don't attack me - I honestly didn't know!)
Ringo

[goclark]

23. It was great because of the Dixie Chicks!

They are so intelligent, attractive and talented.

I use to think that Larry was liberal too but I can't recall any recent interviews where I got a sense of his Liberal Views.

That was once part of his charm but he really needs to retire and live it up with his 6/7/8th wife. I lost count.

[Fla Dem]

21. Not a Country Western fan, but after seeing them on Larry King

bought their CD. They were awesome. So true to their convictions even if it meant ruining their careers. That the difference between them and politicians.

[goclark]

24. Right you are ~ as I watched I dreamed they would run for office

They are all extremely bright and they are able to stick to their beliefs.

They are simply amazing to me.

[KAT119]

22. Larry =true neocon always showing his bias and reptilian scowl/sneer!!

Dixie Chicks were fabulous--ordered their new album:-))

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. Larry was kissin' Bush's ass that night. The 2 instances you speak of

ticked me off royally! He could have just kept his mouth shut and NOT defended the psychos, but NOOOOOOO...he had to do the bidding of the WH. He went out of his way to correct those callers. The chicks ROCKED. Larry SUCKED. That's MY take on it.;) :hi:

[goclark]

27. I'm glad you and I heard the same shilling from Larry

For a while, I thought I missed something.

He looked liked he was boiling inside to me.

I have a friend that use to be really liberal and now takes the kool aid.

The way Larry reacted to the Chicks is the same way my "friend" would have ~

[jesus_of_suburbia]

26. That's the first time I saw them, and I can't get over.....

That's the first time I saw them, and I can't get over......

how likable all 3 of the chicks are. Well done! I can't remember the last time I felt
celebrities seemed so down to Earth in an interview.

[goclark]

29. Totally agree! All THREE CHICKS were amazing

Each has their own special charm and they were so relaxed and HONEST!

One of the best celebrity interfviews I have seen on the CHIMP's WAR.

[idgiehkt]

34. Aren't they adorable?

I like Emily, the one that plays banjo. She is the blonde that is not the singer. She's the one that had to keep correcting King because he kept forgetting their names. She's so cute.

They did a great job. It was copacetic. I was surprised they didn't let any bad calls come through. That guy who talked about Rumsfeld being a coward was the highlight of it for me...called him a coward. Thanks guy, whoever you are. Rock on!

[WiseButAngrySara]

28. Elegant, intelligent, courageous, patriotic, and very inspiring! ....n/t

[goclark]

35. They should get an Award for their interview?

They were perfect and never really put Larry King down even when he tried to bait them.

Class, real class.

[WiseButAngrySara]

37. Absolute class! These are wonderful women. ....n/t

[cmkramer]

30. They were probably talking about two different polls

Larry was no doubt citing a CNN poll of some kind. The other one may have been from somewhere else.

FWIW, a lot of Larry's shows are like that -- taped interviews with no calls -- and that includes "celebrities" and political figures alike.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

31. I can't say. I've never heard Larry sing.

[hellbound-liberal]

32. I heard that when Natalie was born, her middle finger came out first!

I am awed and inspired by the willingness of the Dixie Chicks to take a stand even if it is an unpopular one. I hope their actions shame those who consider it their duty to blindly follow whoever is able to buy and/or steal their way into the White House. Bush has never deserved respect as the duly elected President of this country and, as far as I am concerned, those who ignore the FACTS surrounding his installation into the presidency are the ones who are displaying a lack of patriotism. Bravo, Dixie Chicks! I'm with you all the way!

[goclark]

33. I agree ~ Go Dixie Chicks Go! nt

[bobbieinok]

36. heard on the charismatic/pentecostal grapevine that several of their

preachers have been meeting with King 'trying to convert him.'

Also heard the same way that her chauffer was working hard to convert Jane Fonda. She did convert but fortunately didn't buy the lie that belief in Christ means you must immediately become a right-winger.

Like one of my freshman students at a conservative christian college said years ago: 'I never heard until I got here that if you're a christian you must believe in no gun control.'

[goclark]

38. Unreal! I have a friend

that was a very liberal Democrat.

Then he started going to one of the Mega Churches and Wammo ~ he is now drinking the Bush Kool Aid.

I've been trying to figure out a way to ask him have they brain washed him.

The only thing that he really gets thrilled about is going to church every Sunday from 7 AM - 3 PM.

[2bfree]

48. It is true.

I got involved in a Bible study then church after being a lukewarm Methodist growing up and when I stopped going it was as if I had been brainwashed for those 10 years. I respect other's belief systems but will always be leary of ones who have such a hold over the people and how they believe.

[kskiska]

39. King's wife is a Mormon

from Utah. I'd attributed his wimpiness on Bush* to his young wife's influence. Also, King will not go against the Bush family. He cut his old friend Kitty Kelley off because if he didn't, none of the Bush family would ever go on his show again.

[goclark]

40. The pieces of the puzzle are fitting together now

Do Mormon's believe in face lifts?

I saw his wife on tv last week and she looked like a witch.

She has had some face work done that didn't work well at all IMO.

[Lindsey]

41. I've never actually listened to any of their tunes but I was so blown away

by their incredible presence on Larry King that I bought the CD yesterday. It's unbelievable!!!! I've literally been listening to it all weekend. I then went to their website and was able to see some of an interveiw with them on 60 minutes. Tbey were just awesome. Man, I knew they were considered really good but I have to admit, this is one of the best CD's I've heard in a very long time.

[goclark]

42. I'm getting their CD today! I have the last one too nt

[bullwinkle428]

45. Isn't it about time to roll LK's corpse into a wax museum already?

Jeez almighty...

[goclark]

47. He looks like he is waxed every night nt

[NotGivingUp]

46. Dixie Chicks were great! Larry sucked.

[goclark]

49. Larry is a Dimson and they are Super Stars and Patriots nt

[samsingh]

50. the chicks were beautiful and intelligent

i bought their CD on the second day it was out. the store only had one left on the shelf.
