p> OLD BIRDS br> With CNN chief and AOL-Time Warner big-wig Walter Isaacson in Washington for the State of the Union speech and to meet with CNN staffers in the D.C. bureau, the producers of " Larry King Live" were looking to make a bit of a splash on the post-speech Wednesday night show. "We're feeling some heat with the Connie Chung signing," says one King staffer. "She's so light and soft in her questioning, and Larry's been the king of softball stuff for years here. We want to separate ourselves a bit." /p>

So producers wanted to line up some Republicans and Democrats and have them go at it. But King apparently had other ideas and pressed for an hour with former Texas Governor Ann Richards, who criticized President George W. Bush some and even gushed about the humanitarian wonders of Cuba. "It was kind of embarrassing," says the staffer. "Here we have a president with 80 percent approval ratings, and we've got this liberal old bird spouting off. It was just a head-scratcher for all of us."
