CNN just hit its new low - thanks to Larry King Live. He got Snoop on his show and one of the main news on the CNN website right now is that Snoop is "torn" between Clinton and Obama! Turns out that that semi-literate gangsta'-rappa'-hip-hoppa's (did he drop out of middle school, too?) thoughts about politics IS ACTUALLY NEWS! Not people dying in Iraq, not what's been happening to the misplaced Katrina victims, no - we won't be able to sleep tonight if we don't learn what Snoop (or Eminem or somebody like them) thinks about the latest political developments.
Granted, people are free to talk. But some people really shouldn't talk for they are incapable of saying anything worthy of the precious TV time! Yes, Snoop is funny and if he were invited to talk about Clinton and Obama on Leno, I'd understand and have a kick out of it. But CNN prime time?
I should say, I'm not surprised about Larry King's choice of a guest. Larry King, that old little man who seem to be progressively slipping into dementia, stopped amusing me a few years ago when he spent the entire hour of his show on Jessica Simpson (please, don't ask me what she's done to be popular - I just don't know). It's OK to invite a celebrity to your show but please, don't select somebody who cannot say anything normal without a written script in front of her!
That said, America, when you see somebody like Snoop preparing to talk about how he's torn between Clinton and Obama, do me a favor, will you? Turn off that goddamn TV - if only for the sake of your everdropping IQ...
