Wonkette
Once a very long time ago (last year), Wonkette’s Liz Glover cornered Sam Donaldson and scored what she calls “my favorite interview ever.” But then shortly after the interview Wonkette was no longer owned by Gawker Media and all our own videos disappeared down a rabbit hole/server farm under Balthazar, and we were sad. The video has miraculously surfaced once again, (thanks Liz!), and we share it with you, the reader, to remind you of all that shall be lost when Mr. Donaldson retires. [YouTube]
This is almost as sad as Edward Wood’s last screen test footage of Bela Lugosi.
“When you are young you fall in love. . .”
I wonder what Sam whould have to say about the ActForLove.org girl. She’s not quite Campbell or the SWIM girl, but she is in the same zip code.
Serolf Divad: Yeah, but Sam didn’t call Boris Karloff a cocksucker.
That’s priceless.
OK he basically admitted he wanted to bang Jackie O, and was admonishing himself for not having had sufficient courage to effectuate his fantasy. I have new admiration for the man, having once passed Jackie O on the sidewalk at Park Avenue and been similarly overcome with the desire to bang her.
Aw, Sam has never been anyone’s favorite before. He’s probably very grateful to you, Liz.
that really is the greatest interview ever.
Well he surely liked Liz, but he seems as confused as ever. His answer to “Do you think Mel Gibson should be forgiven?” is just an off-the-topic ramble.
We’ve uncovered the secret to his longevity - he’s pickled.
My knees began to shake….a thrill went up my leg …. I wanted to bang Jackie O…. but hey, what’s yer name little girl? Liz? Liz, you’ll do….
He’s beginning to sound a bit like Ronald Reagan during the later years of his presidency.
… IS RONALD REAGAN REALLY DEAD? HAS ANYONE CHECKED HIS GRAVE RECENTLY?
Wow, when Sam opens his right eye and shoves it directly into the camera, you can see the smoldering fires of teh crazy in there.
Sam has never been the same since Diane Sawyer proved she had a bigger set by putting ‘em on the desk and going clack, clack, clack with ‘em.
I didn’t know Liz used to slip rufies to old men for fun and interveiws. No wonder she got too big for Wonkette, what a brilliant strategy.
Sam Donaldson is awesome.
Nobody can wax poetic like Sam. Now about those eyebrows…
“What’s the funniest thing thats ever happened to you”
“Meeting you…”
Priceless! I’ve never watched Sam Donaldson. Now I’m going to miss the crazy old coot.
I have no snark for this. It just made me teary and reminded me of my departed dad although he wasn’t a crazy drunk with a Jackie fixation.
This interview makes a strong case for keeping the open bar at the National Press Club.
Mr Blifil: gad, the ego of that….even if Samdonaldson regrets not acting, Jackie O would have rejected any overtures leading to a life long embarrassment for the guy.
If only…yeah, she would have turned you down flat, Sam.
ah, the eye-brows, the wig, the demented leering of a perv. How we’ll miss him.
That is some high-grade loopy Sam’s got there. I also read that he owns a huge sheep ranch in New Mexico. I’m not sure which is the cause and which is the effect, though.
“But then shortly after the interview Wonkette was no longer owned by Gawker Media…”
Take note, Denby!
Mr Blifil: I once wrote a song about that very impulse in college. The guys in my band said it was “weird” and “embarrassing” and refused to play it. Those guys could be such lamers at times.
Yes, this is great, but Liz needs to be ON CAMERA guys. seriously
sex towel: The only camera that can capture her image a certain pink Polaroid she carries around.
Thank you for posting this. It was literally the first thing that popped into my head when I read he was retiring.
The saddest thing about that interview is the way Sam manifests the whole “Hey, little girl! I’d like to get into your pants!” speech patterns of the Old & Addled.
I know the pathology . . . because I manifest it daily myself.
That is really very good! I am struck snarkless.
Is it unfair to send glover out to interview the guy so we can make “he’s creepy” comments? Heard she’s hawtness.
