What Larry King knows (Part 2: The Internet)

[CreekDog]

"What do you punch little buttons and things?" --Larry King asking Roseanne about the internet. :rofl:

KING: On your blog you write, "Bush is going to declare war on China next, I swear."

BARR: I was so scared because I woke up and there was the Drudge, you know. I always read the Drudge Report and it said on there that the Chinese were like, you know, spying on our subs or doing something with our subs and I was like, "Oh no, he's going to think that's an act of war and then we're going to go over there next." I mean we're everywhere. We're everywhere.

KING: The Internet as a political medium viable?

BARR: Yes, it's like the only one left, absolutely, and that's not just me saying it. That's everybody saying it.

KING: But there's 80 billion things on it.

BARR: Yes, but if you know where to look, you know, it all can come together. When you're looking for the particular information that you're looking for after you do the big search, this is what I found out by going on there, it just takes your mind and then you live in there forever. You can never come out.

KING: I've never done it, never gone searching.

BARR: Oh, my God! It just opens up the whole universe. It's so awesome. You would love it.

KING: No, I wouldn't.

BARR: Anything you want to know.

KING: The wife loves it. I wouldn't love it. What do you punch little buttons and things?

BARR: You just click on this thing. The thing is you got to be able to read, so you have to have strong glasses when you've over 50 and then you just scroll down and click. It's not that hard. I can show you how to do it.

(stupid CNN attributes the silliest line to Roseanne when it was Larry that said it --i fixed it here).

1. AHAHAHA!

"Do you punch little buttons"...Thats almost as good as Ted Stevens "series of tubes" remark.
I'll have to figure out how to work that into my sigline..Its great.
Thanks Creek Dog!

2. yeah it was like the "tubes" thing

except it happened a few months before.

i was at the gym watching the whole thing on tv and i said to myself, "Larry King has never used the internet!" :wtf:

i'd almost bet he's never used a computer with the "buttons" remark.

i can't tell you how entertaining it was for me to watch Roseanne try to explain something seemingly complicated to Larry.
