Rose: “I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken.”
Of all the men brought down by this current Tsunami of Sex Crimes, the Charlie Rose episode has been the biggest surprise to me thus far. I thought I knew him based on his TV persona. Charlie is far more complex, and a far better actor than I’d ever expected.
The Weinstein story repulsed me, of course, but did not really surprise me. Everyone knows how Hollywood has functioned since the silent movies of Theda Bara and long before that was Broadway. Kind of a Sausage Factory, where you were better off not closely watching how the product was actually being made.
He struck me as a phony and a slimeball from the first time I ever saw him back in the 90s. I couldn’t stand him, and never watched him, although I liked his weird theme song when he was on PBS.
That was back when the David Letterman Show had the intro with the point of view that swooped around midtown Manhattan, including into, through, and then out of someone’s messy apartment with a dog.
I kinda agree...over the past twenty years...I always saw Rose as a fake journalist who simply was a good actor. We seem to have gone through an era where entertainment and news, have morphed into a somewhat fake environment. Rose would ask enough questions to make an interview seem complete, yet they were mostly all softball-type questions. Over the past five years, I’ve probably seen three of his interview situations.
How incredibly egotistical to think that these women were interested in him on a personal level.
Yes Charlie, you can find someone with shared feelings, about your bank account. That’s really all you could hope for.
[[I wonder how many of those TV studio employees had experienced Chuckie-o Rose prancing around naked in his wrinkly old skin]]
According to body guards- biden did the same thing- female secret service had to watch him swim naked- and apparently walk around house naked-
Some men seem to LOVE showing their naked bodies and all they can do with them. It seems very infantile. Toddler boys love to do stuff like that. But toddlers dont have shame yet and they dont have awareness of other peoples feelings.
LBJ used to force visitors to the Oval Office to carry on their business while he took a dump in a little toilet that connected right to the office. He would leave the door open while he used it, and order them to stay put while he carried on the conversation.
Of course, that was to some extent overshadowed by what Bill Clinton had done to him while he was on the phone with various dignitaries.
He knew how to act like a pseudo-intellectual, that's all I saw. No one but a complete idiot wannabe would have been fooled by him.
But I suppose the "complete idiot wannabe" class of pseudo-intellectuals forms a pretty sizable demographic, and quite a few of them have high incomes, unfortunately. Heavily concentrated in the blue precincts of our great land.
Charlie always came off to me as a steeped-in-PBS, overly earnest, milquetoast. The kind of gooey emoter behind such memes as “reach out to.”
So PBS let this all happen and now the guy was acting badly? Was he acting badly in private donation money or on taxpayer money?
I might also suggest that a lot of these “complete idiot wannabe” pseudo-intellectuals hold Columbia, Harvard, or Yale degrees, and think they got their ‘ticket’.
Bush is a good example....a complete idiot (with both a Harvard and Yale degree). Rose? He was a Duke guy. We probably have a million of these idiots walking around the US today, with fake accomplishments, minimal intelligence/common sense, and a wannabe degree.
The hardest part of a Yale or Harvard education is getting into the schools in the first place. After you’re in, it’s not difficult to graduate.
And, any particularly "nasty" conservative who was slated to do the most harm to them all >>ahem<< woulda gotten Gloria Allred out in force with false documentation.
Dang it all. Trump - you rascal.
:)
Interesting. I always suspected that Rose is an ego driven scumbag.
What a pompous prick.....the only good news, is being shut out of TV/MSM, will drive him insane.
