Larry King is an Incompetant Interviewer

There are a lot of things I can say about viewing Larry King Live this week, but I will stick to this:
Larry King sucks at interviewing. He doesn't remember salient facts about his guests and asks them the same question again and again. A ten year old could come up with more depth. It's embarrasing. The only person I have seen effectively deal with LK's defunct interview style is Jon Stewart. Stewart never takes the questions seriously when they prove uttery 'shroomed. But neither does Stewart come off as overtly sarcastic and snarky. He has a knack for keeping both the audience and LK entertained.
