Laura Ingraham made great fun on her radio show Thursday morning of Larry King's CNN interview with John McCain on Wednesday night. The 73-year-old talk show host suggested that McCain was too old to be president for more than one term. Ingraham joked that King looks like "a skull with suspenders," and he's undermining McCain's vitality:
JOHN MCCAIN: Can I mention that -- that hike around the rim of the Grand Canyon, it was wonderful. It was exhilarating. It almost killed me.
KING: Don't do it again. How old are you, Senator?
JOHN MCCAIN: We're going to do it again.
KING: How old are you now?
JOHN MCCAIN: Seventy. I'll be 71.
KING: Does that mean if elected, this is a one term presidency?
McCain didn't take a position on how many terms he would serve. But King recently told Jacques Steinberg of the New York Times "he hopes to hold forth on Larry King Live for 10 more years. At that time he would be 83. His current contract, which he says he will soon seek to extend, expires in 2009."
Laura was on a roll, also making fun of the Barbara Walters diva act against President Bush, as she and her "personal assistant Monica" had to wait around to cross the street. She wondered how much work it would be for a personal assistant to walk around with all those lens filters and "spackle" to make Barbara look younger.

April 26, 2007 - 14:48 ET by Del DolemonteToo funny. Several groups of Secular Democrats, including one led by Ralphie Nader, have in fact been trying to draft Baptist preacher and former Christian Ethics lecturer Bill Moyers to run for President in 2008. DUI Bill will be 73 years old this June:

By the way, did anyone here know that Moyers' given name at birth was "Billy Don Moyers"?

April 26, 2007 - 23:46 ET by drillanwrWhat do you think CNN's annual budget is for Larry King's daily formaldehyde I.V.s? MSNBC has probably freed up enough funds, after canning Imus and his formaldehyde dollars, to have Chris Matthews' saliva glands removed, and electro-shock treatments for Keith Olberman ...

Never dance on an empty stomach unless it's a liberal.
