Want to appear as a champion of a cause without being held to account for the hateful name-calling you did in the name of your cause? Appear on CNN's "Larry King Live." Perez Hilton, author of the celebrity gossip site PerezHilton.com, got to do just that. who advocates that gay marriage should be legal. Hilton, coming off his appearance as a judge for the Miss USA pageant on April 19 appeared on Larry King's April 20 CNN broadcast and explained why he asked Miss California, Carrie Prejean, what she thought of gay marriage. "Well, I was given the opportunity, on...

As the gay marriage movement begins to gain momentum, Pastor Rick Warren, best known for his best-selling book The Purpose Driven Life, is apologizing to the gay community for making comments supporting California’s Proposition 8. During a Monday on Larry King Live, the mega-church pastor claims he “never once even gave an endorsement” of the marriage amendment only to later state that he regretted supporting it. Proposition 8 protects the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, thereby eliminating same-sex couple’s right to marry. Although Warren publicly spoke out in support of Proposition 8 just weeks before...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: To Stanton, Michigan, or what's left of it, anyway. This is Dawn, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi. CALLER: Hello, Rush. I would like to address the lady who wanted to know what smart is. I consider myself very intelligent. I'm not very smart. The person who walks off the curb into the line of traffic and has to run back to the curb to be safe is smart. The person who looks both ways first before crossing the street is intelligent. I pray that your intelligence sees us through this mess that all...

You too can save the planet from the effects of carbon emissions by participating in the symbolic gesture of turning off one light switch at a time for Earth Hour on March 28. That's the message from actor Edward Norton, the official U.S. ambassador for Earth Hour 2009, who appeared on CNN's "Larry King Live" on March 25. As Norton explained, this is a symbolic event for which everyone turns out their lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time on March 29. And this act will encourage world political leaders to cap or tax carbon emissions through the...

For the record, Laura Ingraham never actually called Meghan McCain fat. However, Ingraham has been dead on hilarious in her imitation of Meghan's mindless sounding Valley Girl accent. A quick listen to Ms McCain's voice on this video clip of her appearance on CNN's Larry King Live last night brought back memories of the years your humble correspondent spent in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, birthplace of the Valley Girl accent which, unfortunately, spread to many parts of the country. That Valspeak accent still painfully reverberates in my ears yet despite my earnest hope that it would...

LARRY KING LIVE WANTS YOUR VOTE ON WHETHER OBAMA SHOULD USE TAXPAYER DOLLARS FOR STEMCELL RESEARCH???

Here is video of Gov. Bobby Jindal appearing last night on CNN's Larry King Live. King talked with Jindal about Obama's plans for the economy and the criticism Jindal has received for his GOP Response Speech last week. Jindal did a great job facing up to the criticism, admitting he is not as good a speaker as Obama, but his ideals and principles are right. Jindal was predictably asked if he agreed with Rush Limbaugh about wanting President Obama to "fail," and he answered it perfectly! He affirmed Rush as a "great leader of conservatives," and said Rush is saying...

On January 23, Joy Behar, who apparently was once a comedian of some kind and now is in politics--sort of like Al Franken--appeared on the Larry King show on CNN. The Gay Patriot caught it and commented, but didn't have access to the transcript. It's up now, here, and it illustrates pretty well what we're up against in the world of entertainment. (I assume someone out there must think Behar is entertaining.) KING: OK, is this administration going to be hard for the comics to have fun with? BEHAR: Yes. And all I can say is thank you for Joe...

I don't know what happened to Larry here, or if this snapshot's even real. (The image appears to be on TV, so it MUST be true!) I do know this. Bad softball interviewers don't lend themselves to good critiques when you wind up on a dumbass hair blog like this one.

Larry King, the King of Overstatement, is at it again. Apparently Obama’s victory has left him in such a state of euphoria that he told viewers we could have “a lesbian” in the White House within ten years. At least we think he said lesbian. To be completely honest, we usually lose interest in Larry’s show at about the 15 minute mark. He may have said “Lebanese.” We weren’t really paying attention. King’s contract runs through 2010. But we strongly urge CNN to buy Larry a nice condo down in West Palm now, so he can spend his golden years...

ADD Larry King to the ever-lengthening list of people who lost money with Ponz scum Bernie Madoff. A perfectly placed source said the host of CNN's "Larry King Live" lost "over $1 million with Madoff. It was a lot of money." King's spokesman, Howard Rubenstein, declined to comment. Meanwhile, King's not the only one in queasy health. Several sources have told Page Six that Madoff himself has serious health issues. Some have even said the former money manager has pancreatic cancer. Madoff's lawyers declined to comment.

In an interview with Larry King, First Lady Laura Bush admitted she was angered by the harsh criticism leveled against her husband, President George W. Bush, by Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign. King had asked President Bush if he had taken the attacks personally. Before President Bush could answer, Laura Bush said she did. . . . (watch video)

Last night, Larry King had four guests on his show to discuss the nomination of Eric Holder to become Attorney General. Even though Holder's role in the pardon of fugitive Marc Rich by Bill Clinton was highly controversial, not one of the guests had any real problem with that. Somehow Larry King couldn't find a single guest who would offer arguments against the appointment of Eric Holder. To get you up to speed on Holder's role in the Marc Rich pardon, here is an Associated Press story on this subject from last June: The last time Washington attorney Eric Holder...

Here is video of Gov. Sarah Palin appearing on Larry King Live last night, November 12, 2008. Palin talks with Larry King about the just-concluded Presidential campaign, her thoughts on Sen. John McCain, and her plans for the future. . . . . (Watch Video)

Don't blink your eyes. If you do, you might miss the one very brief mention of Barack Obama's stunning 2001 radio interview on Larry King Live last night where he called for legislative means to redistribute the wealth. Are you ready? Okay, here it comes in this brief mention by former Republican congresswoman Susan Molinari: I think there's still a lot of fighting spirit in this campaign as we go state to state. The numbers are starting to get closer. Senator McCain is continuing and Governor Palin, to take the argument of the words that Senator Obama had given us...

On Tuesday, September 23, Lary King, far from his usual challenging demeanor, offered Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ample opportunity to present his case. The final touch was to give him a human face. “Do you have children?” King asked the brutal dictator. “How old are they?” he followed, giving Ahmadinejad an opportunity to present his “human” side.

(CNN) -- The Federal Reserve Board announced an $85 billion plan Tuesday to bail out troubled insurance giant American International Group Inc. The federal government decided to intervene after determining a failure of the company, whose financial dealings stretch around the world, could hurt the already delicate markets and the economy. Personal finance expert Suze Orman appeared on "Larry King Live" on Tuesday to discuss what the AIG bailout means to you and how safe is your money during this economic downturn. The following is an edited version of the interview: Larry King: A few months ago, you said on...

It always comes down to this one, doesn't it? Leftists and fringe politicos calling Republicans "Nazis." Well, the "N" word was once again unleashed against John McCain's Republican Convention on September 2 during CNN's Larry King Live show. Actor D.L. Hughley and Independent former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura both went for that shopworn epithet as King discussed the Convention. Along with Hughley and Ventura, King had on former Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers who claimed that Republicans were saying with their convention theme that “only Republicans put their country first” ridiculously saying that Independents shouldn't vote for the...
