Blame his wife - please!: That was "Meat Loaf Mike" Wallace and wife Mary rushing into a sea of cabs the other night at LaGuardia and jumping a very long Delta Shuttle taxi line while plain folks waited their turn. "Guilty as charged," the 87-year-old CBS "60 Minutes" star told me yesterday, sheepishly explaining that the car service didn't show up.
"My wife and I were pooped from two days of grandchildren's graduations in Washington," Wallace added, "and she especially wanted to go home." Last August, Wallace was my hero when taxi police cuffed him just because he asked them to stop bothering the driver of his double-parked Town Car as he tried to accept delivery of takeout meat loaf.
blames his wife. what a man.
His wife is a man? :)
Does he honestly think that everyone else enjoyed being in line? I guess he's entitled, though, b/c he's so old and important...
the others waiting for taxis weren't pooped too?
Guess some are more equal than others.
I guess the self-destruct isn't quite final yet.
Arrogant bast***s!
they had to poop?
Leave Mike alone. He had no choice, he was tired and his limo was late. After all, if those nobodies hadn't been in line Mike wouldn't have had to cut in front. Its obviously not his fault. Besides, the incident is in the past. It's over and nothing can be done about it. Remember, these types of stories never fed a starving child. Let's just move on.
Howie Carr will have fun with this! Chris Wallace, Mike's son, is a guest every week on Howie's radio show. Howie didn't shy away from asking about the meatloaf incident.
I don't see the problem here. Mike Wallace is a big shot liberal and should not have be subjected to the indignity of being treated like the lower classes. Sheesh.
I would have knocked him on his Andy Rooney!
