You forgot his $200 haircut.
Nice rant, though. I couldn't agree more with you about the obnoxious Koppel.

$200 dollar hair cut? On Ted Koppel?....LOL, that's a pricey rug(toupee') on Koppels "dome". That's the type of thing that gets me fired up, when fluffy, poofy, coifed and manicured individuals presume to tell others how it's gonna be or should be, when they are too worried about chipping their finger nail in the comfy air conditioned office environs. Ugh, vile creatures, they are so vile and contemptable.
Yeah, that big clump of 'hair' over his forehead is his trademark look!
And that stupid camera angle showing him from the back, looming large and looking at the screen where his guest appears.
I can't look at his show anymore. Haven't for years.
