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.

48. 20. Seriously why couldn't his wife carry her own bag...

I am a woman and I would never make my husband carry my purse...talk about demeaning. She went to the Jon and Kate school of marriage. Beat your man down into submission. They will be divorced if he doesn't die first.

50. EVERY TIME I HAVE GONE INTO THE STORE AND BOUGHT A BEGGAR OUTSIDE SOMETHING TO EAT AND DRINK (LIKE COLD GATORADE ON A HOT DAY) AND HANDED IT TO THEM THEY GET SALTY; THEY DON'T WANT FOOD OR DRINK - THEY WANT BOOZE AND DRUG MONEY; EVERY TIME!!! I DON'T GIVE BEGGARS MONEY EVER ANYMORE; HERE'S HOW TO HANDLE IT..................... WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE WALKING UP TO YOU AND YOU KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO ASK YOU FOR MONEY.............SAY TO THEM (before they get a word out) "hey? have YOU got any change??" this ALWAYS THROWS OFF THE BEGGAR, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT EXPECTING YOU TO HIT THEM UP; IT WORKS EVERY TIME.

51. Most irritating about him is that he reads the next question when the guest is anwering the question just asked. Plain rude.

53. Larry King is the worst. He stutters, mumbles, and yes he does ask the stupidest questions. I would hate to be on he other side of the table trying to figure his next move.

But, look what we have to compare him to Diane Sawyer, Robin Meade, Cortney Hazlett, or the worst Meridith?????

54. A black guy up town used to do that to me, always hanging outside a club. He was a drug dealer who would do the panhandle thing while he was waiting for people to pick stuff up. He used to get nasty when you said no. I complained to club security and they eventually got rid of him.

55. this is what i hate about beggars: there YOU are walking down the street, minding your own business, then (2) a beggar invades your space and asks you for something and then (3) when you don't give it to him, your the assho_e#$%^ he invaded YOUR space and bugged you; you were just minding your own business and now YOU ARE THE JERK? BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED. its totally ridiculous.

56. What a miserable old cow. The man is so old he can't even pronounce MICHAEL! One of the most common names on the PLANET! He says it MY-KEE-AL. What an a-hole like he can't afford to give more than $5.

57. HERE IS WHAT I HATE ABOUT BEGGARS:

1) there YOU are, walking down the street, minding your own business, then......
2) a beggar INVADES your space asking for money, then when you DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM..........
3) "YOU" are the as_hole?$%^&&
IT'S JUST TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. GIVE TO THE CHURCH OR A HOMELESS MISSION IF YOU WANT TO HELP PEOPLE DOWN AND OUT. trust me!! if someone is hungry or needs clothing or shelter there is plenty of that stuff available for the homeless!! at least here in los angeles.

58. first the dead. now the living. lay off haters!! amazing!! people are so stupid!! was that YOUR money larry handed out? buzz off!! larry king did his little good deed and if he seemed to snap out at the beggar, that's his choice! nothing wrong with that! just because if i was the one the beggar had come to and he asked for a second handout, i would have folded my hands and told him thank you, but no more - doesn't means everyone should do the same!! now that MJ is gone and done with your hate, you turn to the living!! that's stupid! larry is a good guy, i love his humble style of interviews. he's aging, he may be foregtting or fumbling, but he's good. the reason he is still on CNN is because you are not the CEO!! leave him alone!! idiots!
