Lloyd Grove: Kelley suggests not on King show because Larry "Bush toady"

[DeepModem Mom]

New York Daily News:

Kitty smells a rat at CNN

....Scandal impresario Kitty Kelley is suggesting that CNN's Larry King won't let her on his show to promote her upcoming book, "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty," because he's a toady of the Bush family.

"I realize how important the Bushes are to Larry," Kelley E-mailed me. "He does not want to lose their friendship or offend them in any way. And having me on his show would probably anger the family, because they made their feelings clear from the beginning ... when the former President Bush called my publisher and said he did not want this book written and would not cooperate in any way. So I certainly understand Larry's refusal to book me."...

***

...Kelley wrote me: "Please know that I'm not grousing - privately or publicly. I understand that it's Larry's show and he calls the shots. Of course, I'll miss being on with him because he's a great host and I've done his show for every one of my books in the past, plus appearing many times for him to discuss the royals, but there is no grousing on my part. None.

As the former President Bush would say, 'Wouldn't be prudent.'"

4. Larry King being a sniveling, whiny, opportunistic panderer to the bush*

family is not a new concept. It's not a big surprise that she won't be on his show. And she won't be on a lot of shows. bush* supporters can only sling the mud, they can't take it. And they really don't any defense against it, W is just such an easy target. Anyone who believes that this guy has led anything close to the moral, upright, Christian life that he tries to project is a fool. And anyone who believes that he 'found God' in his 40s needs to reexamine their ideas of God and what Christianity means.

6. Didn't he cancel Michael Moore at the last minute, too?

Well he is kind of a wimp, what do you expect. Hope he doesn't expect any juicy interviews from the Kerry Administration people.
