xpost Wait, I thought you never saw "The Insider," you doofus.

Anyway, I always wondered what Mike Wallace thought of a characterization that simultaneously lionized him as a journalistic badass and a cynical, self-interested sell-out.

Many apologies for the incorrect news about Dick Cheney. Of course it is Dick CLARK who just died. Sorry for dropping the ball on that.

lol, but also ;_; @ not true

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 18 April 2012 20:50 (fourteen years ago)

I'm sure that, on balance, Clark contributed a lot to the history of pop. The one thing I always held against him was the way he emerged from the payola scandal of the early '60s untouched, while Alan Freed took the fall.
