Anyway, King was on this, and Griffin said, “You know, Larry, so many people watching this are maybe 26, and they don’t remember how long ago you started.” Uh… (laughing) If there are any 26-year-olds watching CNN, it’s ’cause they don’t have the remote. Ha! (laughing) They can’t find the remote or else they’re at the airport. “You know, Larry, so many people watching this are maybe 26, and they don’t remember how long ago you started — and I don’t mean that negatively,” Larry. I’m not saying you’re Jurassic Park, “but you built a lot of this cable TV news industry.” You did it yourself. “Is there any one moment that sticks out in your mind to be the pinnacle” of your career?
RUSH: That’s NAFTA. This was the NAFTA debate. If you’re 26, you may not even know what that is. But I remember this. In fact, I remember three or four days after the NAFTA debate on CNN, I was an invited and esteemed guest on 60 Minutes, at the Temple of Dendur at the museum on Fifth Avenue. It was an anniversary show. It was an anniversary dinner for 30 years, 60 years, 100 years, whatever it was of 60 Minutes — and they had a number of people they had profiled, and they let that the 60 Minutes that they were gonna have fireworks ’cause they seated me at the table with Camille Paglia, who is a firebrand art professor, university arts — she’s lesbian — and they thought, they thought that there would be fireworks. I’m sitting there, and Camille Paglia and I got along famously that night.
