The Daily Background

Oh man, get this. Apparently CNN’s Larry King has never been to CNN.com Why? Because he hasn’t ever been on the internet. He was interviewing Rosanne Barr about her blog, and the following exchange took place:

KING: The Internet as a political medium: viable?

[…]
BARR: Oh, my God! It just opens up the whole universe. It’s so awesome. You would love it.

KING: No, I wouldn’t.

BARR: Anything you want to know.

KING: The wife loves it. I wouldn’t love it. What do you punch little buttons and things?

BARR: You just click on this thing. The thing is you got to be able to read, so you have to have strong glasses when you’ve over 50 and then you just scroll down and click. It’s not that hard. I can show you how to do it.

KING: No, thanks.

Hahahaha, how stubborn he must be. It kind of makes me wonder- is he qualified to be discussing whether or not the internet is a viable political medium? I have an idea. Why doesn’t Larry King get Ted ’series of tubes’ Stevens on his show, and they can talk about things they have no understanding of. I’d totally watch that.
