Has Larry King Lost It?

The speculation has been running the past few days that CNN is trying to figure out a dignified way to show the door to Larry King. The reason: King, who's been doing absolutely horrible interviews at least since I was in high school, is "increasingly frail" and is suffering memory loss.

Today's New York Post has a published denial from CNN President Joe Klein, but LK's audience is down and getting older at a time when CNN is increasingly chasing the audiences who favor prime anchor and Regis Philbin fill-in Anderson Cooper.
