Goodbye to a guilty pleasure from a bygone era.

It was like it was put there to rub our faces in how poor we were.

When obscene wealth was worshipped

It begat the Kardashians, the Real Housewives, even the house shopping shows where they never look at homes under $500K. Ugh

He was pals with Trump from early on. Someone who centered his life around the wealthy and greedy and glorifying it, or rather them.

I was trying to find an interview between them and I found this, which brought up yet another skeevy disturbing comment from Trump about one of his own daughters:

It happened after Leach asked Trump and his then-wife Marla Maples what attributes their infant daughter inherited from her parents.

“I think that she’s got a lot of Marla, she’s really a beautiful baby,” Trump said. “She’s got Marla’s legs. We don’t know whether or not she’s got this part yet but time will tell,” he added, holding his hands in front of his chest to represent breasts.




Here he is in full defense of his good friend:

leach sold Trump as a playboy rich fuck big time back in the day.
he's the one who put Trump on the map for people outside NYC.
again, fuck that guy.

spent decades bragging about all the party invites she got from Donald.

Trump should never have been a news story outside of midtown Manhattan, but folks like Walter, Leach and Regis insisted on making him a national name.

Walters wrapped up her decades of fluff TV shilling by making her last broadcast a special featuring Melanoma, Ivanka and Uday and Qusay with Donald, in which she told viewers how "classy" the serial adulterer 's family was.

Of course, after he's been proven to be a dumpster fire, she has the luxury of getting too feeble (and rumor has it overcome with dementia these days) to ever have to go back on TV and get called out for her shilling. Nature kept her from ever having to answer for selling this nightmare too us.

Regis has similarly disappeared into retirement and never had to offer an explanation for his friend, wither.

FOX News talking head, buds with Varney, got his start with Murdoch's UK crew, idolized Trump

thought it just highlighted the great divide between "them" and "us" and he preferred them to us.

Haven't heard much about him lately.

He did host some of the best trash TV shows of the '80s that just spun off into far too many similar "reality TV" iterations.

R.I.P.
