Larry King interviews reflection
In the latest sign that his television career may be coming to an abrupt end, CNN's Larry King spent the entire hour last night interviewing his reflection on his brand new desk. Larry even opened up the phone lines to take calls from viewers with questions for Larry King's reflection. Two producers at "Larry King Live" tell Dateline Hollywood that they had argued with executive producers against bringing in a new desk.
"We just knew that the new desk with the shiny surface would completely distract Larry," says one of the CNN producers. "We knew it would be a disaster. It's so important to keep shiny things away from him. We didn't expect that he would take an entire hour to focus on his own reflection. He had some good questions, though."
Most of the interview was a frustrating experience for Larry King. Here's an example of how the night went for Larry.
Larry King: "Sarah Palin is John Mccain's running mate. What do you make of her?"
Larry King's Reflection: (simultaneously) "Sarah Palin is John Mccain's running mate. What do you make of her?"
Larry King: "Yes, that's what I'm asking."
Larry King's Reflection: (simultaneously) "Yes, that's what I'm asking."
Larry King: "Stop that."
Larry King's Reflection: (simultaneously) "Stop that."

Sarah Palin actually character created by Tina Fey, SNL
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain on Wednesday admitted that his vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin is actually Tina Fey, who joined the campaign as part of a stunt orchestrated by the "30 Rock" star's old co-workers at "Saturday Night Live."
"This Sarah Palin character is so obviously Tina with a bad beehive hairdo that I can't believe we managed to keep up the prank for an entire week," McCain said on Wednesday after Fey's Palin wig fell off during a press conference. "I didn't believe the 'Saturday Night Live' writers when they told me I could convince the media that I would pick a running mate who's obviously grossly unqualified, that I could pretend she's ready to be commander-in-chief because Alaska is near Russia, that I wouldn't mind she's in the middle of a corruption scandal, or that I didn't do the basic vetting to find out that her 17 year-old daughter was pregnant. I'm just sorry we didn't get to have Tina arrive on stage for her acceptance speech tonight by riding a snowmobile with a dead moose she killed herself strapped to the back like we had planned."
"SNL" writers and McCain's campaign staff said it was relatively easy to convince journalists that the fictional Palin is actually governor of Alaska by setting up a fake website and convincing the few Alaskans known to the national media to play along. "Actually, the governor of Alaska is a guy, Fred or Frank or something like that," said McCain campaign chairman Rick Davis.
McCain said he will announce his real vice presidential running mate, a boring but at least marginally qualified white male, later this afternoon.

Palin Comes Prepared for Battle
I don't care what anyone says the GOP is taking no prisoners. If the Dems want to win, they have to come harder than they have been! Unfortunately, Barack's got a lot of explaining to do as far as his record and his ability to make firm decisions and set precedents. Between wacky Giuliani and VP hopeful Sarah Palin's speech, the Republicans tore him apart.
On Wednesday, Sarah Palin announced she will be honored to accept the nomination for Vice President of the United States to a roaring crowd.
Presidential candidate John McCain, 72, is the first Republican to share the ticket with a woman and only the second presidential candidate from a major party to do so.
With all the recent media attention surrounding her, Palin told the RNC she is not going to Washington to seek the approval of the media but rather to “serve the people of this country”. (From Concreteloop.com/MSNBC)
