A magic 8 ball doesn't ask questions, it provides answers.
Um, that was the joke. :)
Anyway, case in point: He tells the governor that there are reports of a prison riot with hostages being taken, and then asks her what she can tell him about it.
She oh so casually replies (close paraphrase), "Oh, well, we lost communications with the prisons, so I really don't have any way of knowing what's going on there."
Larry just moved right along from that INCREDIBLE statement, as if she'd given a SANE reply!
In the same segment, he had a guy on the phone, who was allegedly employed by a landlord of an apartment building that had been destroyed. The guy was incredibly awkward, using words ten sizes too big for his shoes, telling a tale of how he stuck around to "help" people, because he LOVES helping people, because he just LOVES, period.
He then went on to tell how he and some others were going house to house, "helping" people, because he just LOVES helping people. He seemed to talk himself into a bit of a corner, because it sounded to me like he was explaining how his team was going house to house gathering food and whatever the could find. When Larry SEEMED like he was going to move in for the kill -- asking the guy, well, what do you EAT? -- the guy mumbled something about oh, cans of food, whatever we can find -- and Larry then did the incredible.
He said goodbye to the caller, and then started singing his praises, about what a wonderful guy he was, and how we needed MORE people like him, and on and on and on. Then, the governor kicked in, and said that she thought he was a WONDERFUL example to others!
If you heard the guy, you know what I'm talking about. Ask any cop, and he will tell you that nothing sets off his radar like an ass-kisser -- and this guy was in full turbo puckersmooch mode from the moment he started talking. He ALSO sounded EXTREMELY nervous -- like someone who had been caught with his hand in the cookiejar, trying to tell the cook what a FANTASTIC kitchen he ran, and how he LOVED the guy's cooking.
It took me a while to haul my jaw off the floor after that surreal moment.
My husband said he was a looter:)Just to be here and help the people and just go door to door.Gov. admits she has no clue but when asked what the president is coming even though she talked to him many times today-she has no clue.I see someone who lost something personal and does not care about the rest and is forced to go through the motions.
