Veteran broadcaster Larry King had a brain fart on his January 6, 2010 show. During an interview with the sister of Sharon Tate and former sister-in-law of Roman Polanski, King gets his facts 1000% wrong and...well, it just has to be read.
Here is the transcript of the ginormous blunder that should be laughed at across the universe:
KING: Joining Lawrence Silver with us now is Debra Tate, Roman
Polanski's former sister in law, the sister of the late Sharon Tate. On
a personal note, I knew Sharon Tate. I had interviewed her a couple of
months before her tragic murder. What do you want to see happen?
DEBRA TATE, FMR. SISTER IN LAW OF ROMAN POLANSKI: I would like to see
this whole thing go away. I think that there has been a lot of time
that has passed and we need to bring it to an end.
KING: Have you ever talked to Roman Polanski?
TATE: I have.
KING: How can you have a civil conversation with someone who so brutally murdered your sister?
TATE: Roman didn't murder my sister.
KING: I'm sorry. When the fact that he would have this terrible thing
happen to him after the death of your sister, to once again focus you
into the public light. That's what I meant.
