"Is he dead? Is he dead?"

This death watch is absolutely disgusting. Larry King's going live to Baghdad asking "Did they kill Saddam yet?" He has a peace activist on who's having none of it. "I don't care if he dies. Hundreds of people are killing each other in Iraq every day. There is no joy in seeing one more man dead."

King ignored her. "Is he dead yet? Any news? Is he dead?"

He just said "we'll bring it right to you, even if we're in a commercial break."

What a fitting end of the year for the media, expecting everyone to huddle up to their screens to look at a hanging.

I'm ashamed for them.

UPDATE: L-King didn't get the scoop, but on his outro, he just said "We'll have the death of Saddam for you as it happens... coming up on Sunday, Jack Hanna and his amazing animals!"

I. Shit. You. Not.

I can't watch this anymore.
