For those who missed it, here is the transcriptfrom Larry King.

I'd forgotten the bit where Heather McCartney acccused Newfoundland and Labrador of buying off the WWF, the UN and and the International Society for Conservation. I'm amazed Williams head didn't explode. Mine nearly did.

There are the same sort of ditzy ignorant people who believe that PEI is part of Newfoundland and Labrador . . . .


WILLIAMS: This is about propaganda. This is about using superstars like your husband. I invite you to come to Newfoundland and Labrador. . .

P. MCCARTNEY: Well, we're here, Danny. You don't need to invite us.
Thanks for the invitation, but we're here. We're actually in the studio here. We are in Newfoundland. And we saw the seals yesterday. . .

WILLIAMS: Heather, first of all, Paul, you're in Prince Edward Island now. And I'm in Newfoundland and Labrador. I'm inviting you to come to my province. . .


These map dunces are the ones we're supposed to trust over the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, independent universities, etc . . .

and yes, as you pointed out, Heather thinks we "bought" them off. . .

I was also ready to explode every time they used the strawman "Seals didn't make the Cod go away." Nobody said they did. FRCC and others might say that predation might harm recovery of stocks, but that's a very different concept.

Craig, as I watched it, I also mentioned to some friends who were joining me in having a mini stroke that I had some great seal stories from my brief time interning at the Packet in Clarenville when you were there -- seals going up the freshwater rivers!
