His style is imperceptibly better than King's insipid ass-sucking, yet by being on PBS, he's given a pass. Fuck'im. <BR/>This begs the real question...why isn't <B>Heywood</B> interviewing these pricks? The Heywood J.

He's a goyish Larry King. He'd severely limit his guest list were he to ask such questions as, "How's it feel to be responsible for the maiming and deaths of so many Americans and innocent Iraqis, not to mention the utter hatred of America by the rest of the world, you smarmy jackdaw?"<BR/><BR/>And were he to challenge blatant lies, he might offend a viewer. You know as well as I that TV exists to be as inoffensive to the thin-skinned as possible.<BR/><BR/>b) I strongly object to your term "ratfucker." Rats have standards. There's not enough cheese in the world....cavjamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08432022308089888205noreply@blogger.com
