Honest to Ghod but

Larry King is a hopelessly senile old coot.
Last night he was interviewing a spokesman for the London Fire Brigade in the aftermath of yesterday's terrorist attack....fine so far.
Then went Larry and actually asked this poor schlub if the famously narrow streets of London were a problem for firetrucks?
The guy put on this pained tight little smile, you could just tell this was indeed the stupidest question he'd been asked since the first bomb had gone off that morning.
However, our boy swallowed manfully and assured all and sundry that London's narrow lanes were no great challenge to the Fire Brigade.

Alas its like this all over the cableverse, CNN sent its cameras out to get some face time off of that blustering clown and Imus in the Morning regular Bo Dietl...he said nothing of any import and then it was off to get commuters reactions.
At a time when we need timely and objective news reportage we are served largely by a collection of sideshow freaks, the likes Brian Williams the Human Collie Dog, Nancy Grace the Prom Queen of Court teevee or the King of the Undead, Paul Harvey.
These are the yaps with the microphones and hours and hours of congressionally licensed airtime with not a single sensible thought among any of them.

Sick
Demented
Typical...
