Ahmadinejad states: American empire nearing its end; talks to CNNs Larry King
In a blistering speech before the United Nations General Assembly, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed "a few bullying powers" for creating the world's problems and said the "American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road."
And while he insisted Iran's nuclear activities are peaceful, Ahmadinejad blamed the same powers for seeking to hinder it "by exerting political and economic pressures on Iran, and threatening and pressuring" the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Those powers, meanwhile, are building or maintaining nuclear stockpiles themselves, unchecked by anyone, he said.
He accused the United States of oppressing Iraqis with six years of occupation, saying Americans were "still seeking to solidify their position in the political geography of the region and to dominate oil resources."
Meanwhile, he said, Palestinians have undergone "60 years of carnage and invasion ... at the hands of some criminal and occupying Zionists."
Hours before Ahmadinejad's speech, Bush told the General Assembly that Iran was among the nations that "continue to sponsor terror."
"Yet their numbers are growing fewer, and they're growing more isolated from the world," Bush said.
Before Ahmadinejad spoke to the U.N., he told CNN's Larry King that he is willing to meet with presidential candidates Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama -- even in front of the media -- to discuss world issues and debate. But he has no preference between the two, he said in the interview that aired Tuesday night on "Larry King Live."
And decisions pertaining to that must be made by the American people. And it's not important to us either," Ahmadinejad said. "What matters essentially is that the president that is chosen by the American people should adopt a path and a policy approach and for us to observe the policy approach.
"This is the campaign period, anyone can say anything. So we disregard that. What matters is that once someone is in office, we have to watch and see if that person will bring about some changes in policy or continue the same old path."
Asked whether he fears a U.S. attack, Ahmadinejad told King that attacking Iran would be the "worst thing the U.S. government can do ... I think that in the United States, there are enough reasonable people, smart people, who would not allow the U.S. government to make such a big mistake."
Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, meanwhile, would be "the best scenario," Ahmadinejad said. "But I think that it needs a timetable ... the presence of the United States there has not reduced tension and it has not limited terrorism either. In fact, it has increased terrorism." In a blistering speech before the United Nations General Assembly, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed "a few bullying p... more -
McCain retaliates against CNN for asking tough questions
John McCain canceled a long-scheduled interview with CNN's Larry King because CNN host Campbell Brown asked a campaign spokesperson about VP pick Sarah Palin's foreign policy experience and refused to take spin for an answer (see video).
It's not news that candidates are trying to control the media, but at least the more blatant embarrassments are getting reported. John McCain canceled a long-scheduled interview with CNN's Larry King because CNN host Campbell Brown asked a campaign spokespers... more -
Larry King in Fruity Pebbles
Artist Ryan Alexiev's unique artwork is meant to make us think about consumerism, advertising and the role of an often-overlooked cultural institution: the breakfast cereal.
In his show, "Land of a Million Cereals", we see among other things, what CNN would look like if your TV set constructed images not from pixels, but from cereals. Mmm, Larry King has never looked so appetizing. Also, bravo on selecting that particular still of Larry King Live! (a classic episode, if you ask me!)

Seacrest in, Larry King out?
Is Ryan Seacrest the most overworked man in the world? The scoop now is that he'll replace Larry King on his CNN show, adding to his radio commitments, American Idol commitments and everything else.
My concern is can we take a man that hosts American Idol seriously on a network like CNN - not that I've ever taken Larry King particularly seriously.
I don't like Seacrest - purely because I get the feeling he's only in it for the publicity. But I could be wrong. If anybody out there is a close personal friend of the man and wants to set me straight, I'm all ears :-) Is Ryan Seacrest the most overworked man in the world?

Larry King busts a move with Janet Jackson
This may open a whole new career for Larry King: dipping instead of dishing. The suspendered CNN interviewer, 74, gets a lesson in how to dance from Janet Jackson, 41, on his show Thursday night. She shakes; he quakes.
"Okay Janet, show me a trick," says King as he readies for his lesson."I don't know what I am doing," he adds as Ms. Jackson giggles and patiently shows him a few moves while her new music video is screened behind them.
Thank god he didn't break a hip! This may open a whole new career for Larry King: dipping instead of dishing. The suspendered CNN interviewer, 74, gets a lesson in how... more -

Snoop Dog takes Larry King to a fried chicken and waffles joint
Larry King, the friendly bumbling TV interviewer, goes for grits and chicken wings with rapper Snoop Dogg and schools him on the specifics of an "Arnold Palmer" (no gin but a little juice). Instead of being weird/awkward, it ends up being sort of weird/awesome. Also, Snoop invents a new mocktail.
It does have some great moments of Snoop wisdom. Snoop on breakfast: "You gotta have that grape Welch's jelly to go right up in dat biscuit."

Pronounced like ridiculous. I think this is going to open up a healthy dialog about religion much like Michael Moore's Sicko did for health insurance issues.
