- Mutton dressed as lamb.
:02:11
But I'm getting
ahead of myself.
:02:13
To really understand the theory and
how it took over my entire existence,
:02:17
you need to hear
the whole story.
:02:21
When Ray came into my life,
:02:23
I was booking talent
for the Diane Roberts Show,
:02:26
a local New York talk show that
had just been syndicated nationally.
:02:29
The network had given us
a small window of opportunity...
:02:32
in which to make something
of ourselves.
:02:34
We're back with
Mary Lou Corkle,
:02:36
outspoken
conservative activist,
:02:38
who's here to talk about
her new book The Nest Crisis.
:02:42
One of your central arguments,
Mary Lou,
:02:45
is to blame society's problems
on working mothers.
:02:49
Diane was determined to
strike pay dirt with her audience...
:02:52
by appealing to both their
understimulated intelligence...
:02:55
and their overstimulated appetite
for tabloid television.
:02:59
Ambition has blinded
these women...
:03:01
- to their responsibilities to their families.
- And so, by your standards,
:03:04
doing what I do makes me
unfit for motherhood.
:03:08
Well, we make
our own beds, don't we?
:03:10
That is true.
Just out of curiosity, Mary Lou,
:03:14
who's been
making your kids' beds...
:03:16
while you've been out selling
your book these past three months?
:03:19
My job was to supply
a steady diet of raw meat...
:03:22
to satisfy Diane's
Emmy-clad ambitions.
:03:25
Hi, Donald. Did you hear?
We've gone national.
:03:27
Thanks.
Well, it's a new format.
:03:29
We're just starting up
major exposure,
:03:31
and I think it's
right up Hillary's alley.
:03:33
Oh, she'd be among the first. I'm lining up
great company. Trust me, everyone wants on.
:03:36
My only colleague in this quest...
:03:39
was our writer, producer and
pathological womanizer Eddie Alden.
:03:42
How are we doin'?
:03:44
Publisher's having a coronary.
:03:46
- That good, huh?
- You book 'em, I cook 'em.
:03:48
Right on. Yeah.
:03:51
Thank you very much. We are
here talking to Mary Lou Corkle.
:03:54
Any progress with Cuba?
:03:56
Well, just keep trying.
I swear to God.
:03:59
This Castro thing is gonna kill me.
I mean, it is insane.
