Donald Trump appears on Russian backed TV to suggest that Russia "probably unlikely" was meddling in American politics. Suggests that Democrats are "putting that out." Update!

Courtesy of CNN:

Donald Trump gave an interview Thursday that aired on a television station funded by the Kremlin, arguing that the Russian government was "probably" not meddling in the American presidential race. 

Speaking to Larry King on RT America, which is an arm of government-funded news outlet Russia Today, Trump said it would "not be appropriate" if Russian forces were looking to influence the race, which is suspected by some investigators and has been fanned by Hillary Clinton's campaign as recently as Thursday morning. 

He also suggested that the allegation was politically motivated. 

"I think it's probably unlikely. Maybe the Democrats are putting that out -- who knows," Trump told King. "If they are doing something, I hope that somebody's going to be able to find out so they can end it. Because that would not be appropriate at all."

Trump surrogates are now suggesting that Trump was tricked by that sneaky old Larry King.

Trump campaign spokeswoman says that they thought Larry King interview was going to be on King's podcast -- not RT.

Trump campaign spokeswoman tells me that Trump "recorded a short interview with Larry King for his podcast as a favor to Mr. King."

Okay I think we have fully established that Donald Trump is Vladimir Putin's bitch.

The only thing that could further prove that would be a sex tape of Donald Trump getting plowed by Putin while biting down on a hammer and sickle clenched in his teeth.

Update: Here is Hillary Clinton responding to this news.

She just looks so incredulous that this is who she is running against.

Unbelievable! Sarah Palin tweets "Don't retreat...reload" after Dr. Laura quits her show due to racist rant. Update!

"Jesus! Can somebody take that Blackberry away from her?  She is embarrassing ALL of us!"

Has the woman come completely unhinged?

Here is her latest tweet:

Dr.Laura:don't retreat...reload! (Steps aside bc her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist thx 2activists trying 2silence"isn't American,not fair")
5 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

It appears that the tweeting twit is unhappy that Dr. Laura decided to quit her radio show after embarrassing herself, her listeners, and her advertisers by using the "N-word" over and over while talking to an African American woman who was calling to ask for help and understanding.

Apparently Dr. Laura suffered some well deserved blowback from certain groups, as well, I assume, from everybody with half of a brain who found her completely insane rant to be incredibly offensive. So she went on the Larry King show and announced her retirement from broadcasting.



Now I have no idea what Dr. Laura meant by saying that she wants "to regain her First Amendment rights" and say what "is on her mind and in her heart".  Does that mean she wants to have the freedom to use racist terms without having to worry about losing her job anymore?

But anyhow, in my opinion she had no other choice but to apologize and leave the air.  Just like when Michael Richards went on a similar rant and had to apologize and lay low for several months. 

When your inner Klansman comes out on radio or television you simply need to go. That is NOT normal behavior for your average person.  That is the kind of thing that issues forth from an individual who has a deep and ferocious anger toward a certain ethnicity. And once a person like this fails to keep their inner David Duke under control, I feel that they are forever tainted by that revelation and can no longer expect to be accepted by society as anything BUT a racist.

For some reason Sarah Palin does not agree with me on that point. SHE thinks that Dr. Laura is being denied her First Amendment rights to say ignorant hurtful things to African Americans, and suggests that instead of making the mature choice and leaving the airwaves of her own accord she instead needs to "reload." WTF?

Is there any way NOT to see Sarah Palin as a racist here?  Am I just being too hard on her?

Update:  Sarah has unleashed another tweet about Dr. Laura:

Dr.Laura=even more powerful & effective w/out the shackles, so watch out Constitutional obstructionists. And b thankful 4 her voice,America!

You know I think using a term like "shackles", while defending a person who used a negative pejorative about African Americans, may not be helping to helping to "refudiate" the idea that you are a racist Sarah. 

I am just saying.

Kathy Griffin on having Levi Johnston on her show: " I feel that it’s my very subtle middle finger to Sarah Palin. Yeah, go ahead, Tweet me, Palin freaks, I don’t care anymore."

From Newsbusters:

KATHY GRIFFIN: Have you been to Wasilla?

LARRY KING: No.

GRIFFIN: It blows. I’m not gonna lie.

KING: Yeah?

GRIFFIN: It blows chunks, yeah. It’s not what we want the country to be like, when Sarah Palin said, you know, I would run the country, you know, you betcha, the way I run Wasilla, that’s not what we want. It’s a lot of boredom and then some crystal meth. Hey, go ahead, write your letters, I don’t care anymore. Go ahead, Tweet me about it.

KING: What’s your attraction to Levi?

GRIFFIN: I get him in a way that Bristol never did. And also, every time that I’m with Levi and put him in the public eye, I feel that it’s my very subtle middle finger to Sarah Palin. Yeah, go ahead, Tweet me, Palin freaks, I don’t care anymore.

KING: Have you been intimate with Levi?

GRIFFIN: Yes, I have. I’ve seen his Johnston. Have you?

KING: No.

GRIFFIN: It goes on and on-

Well Levi should LOVE that statement!

Carrie Prejean almost walks off of Larry King Live due to questions. Apparently she did not understand that an interview involved questions.

(I replaced the old video, which was removed, with a new longer YouTube video.)

It is pretty clear that Carrie has been coached to provide a few basic responses to questions, "We can't talk about mediation", "worst mistake of my life", "I was attacked for my beliefs", but when that does not work she simply flees.

Can you believe they let a gay man's phone call come through? Do they have NO respect for her deeply held anti-gay religious beliefs?

Be honest who else, just for a moment, thought she was about to respond with a "In what respect Charlie?"

I mean did she even complete the "Sarah Palin Interview Tips and Question Dodging Symposium"? If she had she could have simply responded with an "I'll try to find you some I'll bring em to ya!" But NO she clearly did not get through the final class "Show the camera your best side, smile pretty, and babble incoherently".

You never saw her hero Sarah Palin walk off of an interview did you? Sure she walked off of her job, but dammit not an interview!

Just a quick little post about the Larry King interview.

What struck me immediately is that Levi and Sherry are still being very careful concerning the answering of questions. I was also struck by how Mercedes is much less restrained and seems quite anxious to start talking.

I would love to give her the opportunity.

I am also not very happy about the prospects of Levi writing a book, because I believe what he knows should be shared much sooner than a book would allow. I would also like to help HIM with that.

The interview did not reveal much and it is very clear that the Johnstons are carefully trying to draw the Governor out of hiding to interact with them about Levi's access to Tripp. But I was very happy to see that they may have realized by the end of the interview that they are going to have to take the Palins to court to receive any satisfaction.

By the way I was also happy to hear "Tank" Jones receive that shout out from the Johnston family. Tank was the man who graciously answered my questions about Levi and let me know, and therefore all of you, that he was safe.

Tank is about six foot four and has to go at least three hundred plus pounds. Trust me when I tell you that Levi is SAFE.

Now we all have to sit back and see what Rex Butler and Sherman "Tank" Jones have in mind for future Levi television appearances.

I will embed the videos when they become available.

Update: Here is the only video I can find so far.



Have at it.

Levi Johnston to make appearance on Larry King.

On Wednesday's show, Levi Johnston will be the guest. He will talk about being the former fiance of Bristol Palin, the daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Johnston's mother and sister also will be interviewed.

This is the television event I hinted at earlier. I could not say anything because I had not asked permission to announce it yesterday.

I have no idea what Larry is going to ask Levi but you know it is a call in show so it might get pretty damn interesting.
