Does anyone here know how Charlie Rose got that black eye he had earlier this year?
Seems Pinch Satzberger had one as well ...

Filmmaker George Butler wants his friends to know he's very much alive, despite a premature obituary on "The Charlie Rose Show" this week.
During Rose's annual New Year's Eve tribute on PBS to notable figures who died during the year, he included Butler, whose 1977 film "Pumping Iron" featured a then-unknown bodybuilder named Arnold Schwarzenegger. The screen even flashed a Butler tombstone, 1943-2008.
The PBS show had confused him with another George Butler, a longtime jazz record executive who signed Wynton Marsalis, who died April 9.
snip- Rose, who did not immediately respond to e-mail messages seeking comment, apologized at the opening of Thursday's show.
"The George Butler who is my friend is alive and well and living in New Hampshire," Rose said. "We apologize to him and his friends, and look forward to having him on the program in the new year."

Glad Butler is OK.
I cut Rose a lot of slack. After all, he’s dead, too!
You can't really believe much you see or hear on PBS. It mostly liberal fantasy.
Hell, judging from his on screen appearance and presentation, Charlie Rose himself has been dead for decades.
How could he be held accountable for anything...
Charlie Rose is still alive? I thought he died back in the late 90s.
Huh, unknown? Yeah, maybe if you were a liberal putz reporter, he was unknown. By 1977 Schwarzenegger had already won Mr. Universe at least a couple of times and Mr. Olympia six. His bodybuilding career was almost over.
He’s just having one of those “Mark Twain” moments...
... a greatly exaggerated Mark Twain moment!
LOL
BTW, I was almost nauseated yesterday when I inadvertently caught five minutes of Diane Rehm interviewing Toni Morrison.
It’s part of the initiation to Skull & Bones.
