Thing is, many of Larry King’s shows or segments do not feature callers. I just went through recent transcripts and easily found several. Here’s a panel discussing the Beltway sniper execution - no callers. Here’s an interview with Mariah Carey - again no callers.
So whatever agreement was reached, it is clear that the absence of callers is hardly an unprecedented event, as was implied in your earlier post.
Panel discussions don’t count. Maybe Mariah Carey can get special treatmnent, but Prejean didn’t.
Might just be that nobody cares about Mariah Carey. 
Oh, come on, dude. He’s got you. You said this sort of treatment was “unprecedented”, and it clearly isn’t. Besides, it’s not like Mariah Carey is some kind of huge ratings draw that Larry King would change all the rules for.
Those were the terms her lawyer wanted. Why would the opposition want those terms? The question was not inappropriate. Her sex tapes could be called inappropriate, but why would mentioning them as the reason she lost her case be wrong to discuss? What else does she offer of interest?
Big fake titties and a dazzling smile. The world is her oyster, for the next four and a half years. After that… well, hope she marries well.
Here’s the issue: he didn’t ask, “Golly, Carrie, tell us why you’re such an American hero and where we can buy your book?”
She didn’t like that so she pissed off in a huff.
All this bullshit about she was too noble or whatever to answer innapropriate questions and did Larry agree or not agree to let callers in and all that shit … it’s just pissing in the wind. This vapid tool thought she was going to get to freely flog her book and she didn’t get to. She doesn’t seem to be interested in being a source of anything but right-wing talking points in the first place. If she doesn’t have the chops to face basic journalistic questions she should stick to Fox ‘News’ and spare the rest of us her fucking hissy fits.
Do you not watch Larry King? He doesn’t ask basic journalist questions. His interviews are about as hard-hitting as Joan Rivers’, only he doesn’t mock his guests’ fashion sense.
Prejean had every reason to believe he was going to ask why she’s such an American hero and where we can buy her book and so on.

(I don’t know why I know this. I’m sure that brain space could be used for a much better function, but this is what it has decided to retain.)
Well isn’t that just tough shit for her. She took her chances that he was going to fawn all over her and he didn’t. She fucked up. She should have stuck with Fox. In the meantime, the normal world gets one more reminder as to why she should be recycled whole to supply silicone treatments for the poor.
Dude, I don’t like her any more than you do, but I don’t understand this at all. If there was an agreement in place that certain topics would not be discussed, I can totally understand why she flipped out when they were.
Hey, this is Larry King we’re talking about.
She had every reason to expect a marriage proposal.
Sarah Palin as her hero? Beauty contestant? I see a Republican nominee for Gov. of Alaska.
Thread won. Thanks for playing, guys.
I didn’t see this yesterday, but I just watched it. That was clearly staged. Whoever it was off stage was directing it like a stageplay. The whole walking off the set thing is becoming a right wing go to tactic. Tom Tancredo did it the other day and I’ve seen it elsewhere.
Stupid to try it with Larry King, though. You look foolish with a softball tosser like him.
Be careful what you wish for. That’s the side that talks.
Liberals can tolerate disagreement just fine. (Og knows liberals themselves disagree on any number of things.) What we have trouble with is folk mounting attack-dog histrionics and then hiding behind the idea of free speech taunting, “Nanny nanny boo boo, you can’t answer back or you’re pissing all over my rights!” Holy joes like Carrie are particularly known for this tactic.
I don’t believe it’s been established that there was any agreement.
Is it just me, or does anyone else just know that every single time there’s a "___ vs. ____ " in the media, you’re going to end up wanting both sides to lose?
So when she ends up doing hardcore with Levi Johnston what do you think the title of the movie should be? I like either INTO THE WILD CHILD or SILICON VALLEYS. (This is of course after they move in with Danny Bonaduce, Arsenio Hall, and Courtney Love for SURREAL LIFE or join David Lee Roth, Florence Henderson and Al Sharpton for Season Umpteen of DANCING WITH THE STARS.)
Exactly - but you have categorically stated that she was lying. If she was lying about the agreement, then obviously it was immaterial. However, we don’t know that she was. You went so far as to say that it doesn’t matter if she’s telling the truth or not - King should have drilled her*, agreement or no agreement.
On the other hand, we also don’t know if Larry King was being a douche, so I disagree with the OP too.
*Not that sort of drilled, though I’m sure Larry and his aging pecker would be happy to oblige. God knows I’d drill her too, if only to make her stop talking for a while.
