Larry King: Pam Anderson What Size are Your Breasts?

CNN president Jonathan Klein slammed competitor Fox News and their coverage of the Natalee Holloway story as "easy and brainless" in a phone interview with the NY Times.  The Scribe Journal quickly pointed out that Fox news regularly crushes CNN in the ratings game.

Now the NY Post's Richard Johnson makes an astute observation (or two) in his column today:

CNN president Jon Klein should watch his own network before he complains to the New York Times about Fox News Channel being "meaningless nonsense." On Monday — the day before Klein was quoted in the Times — CNN's Larry King (above) interviewed busty Pamela Anderson. King asked Anderson a whopping 13 questions about her breasts, including, "What size [are your breasts]?" and, "They expand on camera?"

Her answer--yes I think they do expand on camera and "D."

Larry astutely pointed out to Pam that a D-cup "is not average."

The NY Post then cited a Fox insider that reportedly snickered, "King only got 926,000 viewers, proving that nothing on CNN can get a rating — news or trash. Maybe if she took her top off, they would have had higher ratings."

I believe that's a night that might even beat Fox News.

One note:  I like Pam Anderson and believe that CNN should have her on and ask her anything they can get away with.  But if you are going that route--calling Fox News "brainless" sure makes CNN an easy mark to lampoon.
