Whew.........what a bunch of posts! I think everyone summed it up very well. I almost didn't watch the thing, but decided I would. I just HAD to see what this guy had to say. All in all, I think Larry King did a pretty good job, for him. I was so glad to see the clips from the family. At least people got to see the Mom and Dad give their views. These were clips from a CNN story that LK did with the parents. Did anyone notice that after Terri's Mom talked in one clip and the camera went back to MS, he said "Well, I don't know where you got that tape." It was a CNN tape, you dufus!! Of course, he didn't have a good response to that. I think everyone's assessment of MS was pretty accurate.....he looked like some kind of sleezy pimp. What a way for him to dress.... I really thought he would have been much smoother in his answers. He started out with the slime, sounded well rehearsed. But the questions just threw him for a loop. I thought the hedging on the lie detector test were pretty damning, as well as the fact that he wouldn't answer the challenge to allow CNN cameras in. I was bummed cause LK didn't know that Schiavo had a child (maybe 2 by now?) with his girlfriend, but it really worked out pretty well. You could tell LK was shocked by that, and I'm sure the viewers not informed about the case were shocked also. I certainly hope they were. Someone posted (way back earlier) that they had the feeling LK didn't believe M. Schiavo. I had the same feeling...... the questions about why he didn't just walk away? LK mentioning he didn't know what his own daughter wanted, etc. LK did much better than I expected, gotta give him credit for that. This interview just did nothing but firmly convince me that MS thinks he is some type of celebrity now. We all know it's "not about Terri" as he claims....it's about what he and his nerdy lawyer can get out of the whole thing. I couldn't believe he said he had been through the removal of feeding tubes with his parents. I'll have to read the transcripts, but that sure sounded like that is what he meant. Okay, I'll shut up......sorry so long......but gosh, y'all kept me busy reading!! Thanks for all the info......

LOL! Thanks to you for your great summation!

I may be wrong but I bet LK knew about the kid and just waited until a caller came thru who brought the subject up and played dumb. The surprise manuver made Mikey look even worse.

Great post for a newbie -g- Welcome aboard! It took me almost two years to post ;)
