PUT YOUR LITTLE HAND IN MINEThe last time I
posted a transcript from Larry King it was such a big hit (read: zero comments) that I would be foolish not to post a follow-up.
So I'm working on a longer version of
my first DCist post about Sonny Bono Memorial Park for another publication, and in my extended research I came across this hilarious bit from the end of a March 1996 episode of "Larry King Live":
[Commercial break]
LARRY KING: On our last Tuesday primary, we were talking to the regular political panelist Mary Matalin at the Dole Headquarters as well as Congressman Sonny Bono and former Governor Jerry Brown, when we received a special request. We understand Mary Matalin wishes to dedicate something to Sonny Bono. Is that true, Mary?
MARY MATALIN: [Singing] They say we're young and we don't know -- go ahead, Sonny.
Rep. SONNY BONO: Hey, this could be a new act -- I --
LARRY KING: Sing it with her --
Rep. SONNY BONO: -- they won't find out until we grow.
MARY MATALIN: I got you babe.
Rep. SONNY BONO: And I got you babe.
MARY MATALIN: Ha, ha, ha.
LARRY KING: Jerry, do you have any comment on this?
JERRY BROWN: Well, my only thing is that we've got seven months to the election and there is not seven minutes of substance.
LARRY KING: Lighten up.
JERRY BROWN: There's not seven minute of substance. I can't see.
MARY MATALIN: These Democrats are humor impaired.
JERRY BROWN: Humor impaired. Well --
Rep. SONNY BONO: There is a lot of substance if you go to the agenda of the Republicans. But there is no substance of the -- of the Democrats.
LARRY KING: So much for political compromise, and while our March didn't go out like a lamb, it did go out with House Speaker Newt Gingrich and some interesting new friends.
I really have nothing to add to that.
