Larry King on Glenn Beck – “That Don’t Impress Me”

Daily Beast’s Lloyd Grove attended last night’s party celebrating Larry King’s new memoir, “My Remarkable Journey.” Among those in attendance, Anderson Cooper, Mort Zuckerman, Phil Donahue, Regis Philbin and Barbara Walters whose guest earlier in the day on “The View” came up in conversation.

And back on the radio today, still sounding half-crappy with the cold, Beck demanded an apology from Walters. Which leads us to this poll:
