What exactly is News gossipmonger Joanna Molloy trying to do with her bizarre screed on how she could never even think of sleeping with many-times-married CNN yakmeister Larry King, even as she spends 564 words doing exactly that? Is it misguided satire of the way ladies' sexuality is brushed under the rug as they age? Did a slightly tepid item on some D-lister fall through at the last minute? Is she engaging in an extended troll for incisive comments like "Larry's already dreaming of his next wedding cake,it doesn't matter to him what the bride looks like,he love's that wedding cake !"? Or is this some weird attempt to play hard to get in front of an audience — and make off with the cash she mentions over and over again in the piece? If it's the latter, well, hats off to you, lady.

Having seen Joanna's byline photo, she may want to try playing less hard to get.
Is that an actual NY Daily News comment or did you make it up?
I also like when that picture of him with crazy hair is posted.
How could I make up that creative use of punctuation?
Right, I read this earlier and thought "huh"? (And for $140 million? Come on!).
And why do I have a memory of him saying that he no longer has sex? WHY DO I HAVE THAT MEMORY?
@Kneetoe: Was it the time YOU OFFERED HIM SOME?
I had to tell him, "not for $10 million."
I think it was in an interview I read about, but, I mean, why would I read that?
"ladies' sexuality is brushed under the rug as they age"
This just makes me picture her doing naughty things with his toupee.
Joanna Molloy writer?
Puhleeze. The chick's 70-some years old, has Cabbage Patch Kid hair, often seems a bit loopy and looks fraudulent holding that pen and paper pad.
You gotta wonder how she does it.
But come on guys, read Joanna Molloy?
Not for $100,000, Molloy's made up annual salary.
Nope, not for $1 million, the approximate salary total of the 100 people Newsday recently laid off.
Not for a 608 million bucks, the amount Cablevision paid for Long Island paper in 2008, the year everything went in the toilet (where it joined Newsday).
Someone will, now that the A train is under service, meaning riders have to make three transfers to go downtown, waiting around N.Y. with no money in their pockets looking for something, ANYTHING, to fill the void, even garbage like a Molloy Newsday column.
They're are like a tribe, and anthropologists have noted their customs of having reading unspeakably horrible bullshit, just to kill the time.
Or perhaps it is for the box scores, which are a fucking pointless waste of paper in the Internet era.
