On 2/2/11; while interviewing the accomplished icon James Earl Jones about the Broadway version of "Driving Miss Daisy" and his role in it. NBC's Kathie Lee Gifford made the addled observation that the content of "Driving Miss Daisy" it's subject matter, is so "powerful" that it could be from and I paraphrase today's news headlines.
Poor James Earl Jones the totemic-surrogate of all that was pathetic and insane about "Driving Miss Daisy", when Morgan Freeman in it's Hollywood depiction reminded us of the Intellectual-Liberalism of segregation and it's Jim Crow barbaric futility is what NBC's Kathie Lee Gifford so piningly pronounced could be appreciated through news headlines of contemporary American society.
James Earl Jones had to sit there and wonder whether what he was being assaulted with was a result of Kathie Lee Gifford's delusion or the insidious naivete of her bigotry.
