Larry King -- Royally Ticked Off

One panhandler learned a tough lesson last night -- don't push your luck with the King!

Larry King: Click to watch
Larry King gave one dude $5 outside Mastro's, and when the guy had the stones to ask for more, the 75-year-old talk show host was clearly POed.

Maybe he was just crabby from holding his wife's purse all night.

32. #7 - what?

What can the man getting the $5 do with it?

He can give it to someone who appreciates it.

That's what he can do and should do.

What an ingrate.

34. Just because he has made a lot of money does not mean he should have to simply give it away. The man asking for money asked for it "to get something to eat" (probably a lie) and there are plenty of places where $5 will allow you to go and fill your belly with decent food. Gourmet, no, but not eating out of the garbage or going hungry. Will it buy his drugs or enough alcohol for an addict, nope, but as I stated at the beginning, it is not Larry's (or anyone else's) responsibility to provide for this man. In America one can make their own way, if they are willing to WORK for it. With smart investments, anyone can be wealthy, but bear in mind, anything worth having, is worth working for and will not come easily.

36. Larry King is a great interviewer. He gets it just right. I used to cringe watching Jay Leno do interviews, always turning the questions around so he could start talking about himself. Larry is a total pro and his memoir is really good.

38. Larry King looks awful!

39. Wow, I thought I was the only one that thought this guy sucks and is WAY overrated.
The interview with Jermaine was terrible. I have no idea why this guy is famous. I feel the same about Barbara Walters.
They both ask stupid questions which they think are intelligent.

40. Mr. Burns probably dropped 300 bucks on dinner and has the nerve to bitch about five dollars? Damn he's cheap! And has no shame showing his is cheapness on camera. He needs to say out of those expensive restaurants and start hoarding his money so he can pay that hot wife alimony when she dumps him. What a non-interviewing geezer.

Posted at 12:24PM on Jul 8th 2009 by This is a shame

41. Wow, is that Larry Kings wife?
She is hot, and looks like she has Larry by 'the balls' so to speak,
Did you notice he was carrying her purse for her?
What a nice guy.

43. When I was a political aid, there was a homeless guy on the street and he had a hat in his hand. My boss gave him some change from his pocket. The guy complained and said he knew he had more. So my boss goes back and takes his money, plus some extra, back out of the hat. He said, "You shouldn't have complained." It was great. Mr. King should have taken his 5 back.

44. #13 that bugs me too. Must be bad dentures or something.

45. Just like a frickin liberal lefty. All talk and not willing to give the "poor" people of the street their money, but they want everyone else to.
