two superstars just lying on some sun lounger in a bikini spending daddy s money being a brat? that s a really good question. i often ask myself that. she is sharing the screen with the muppets. this is piers morgan tonight. she sold 100 million books and scared the living day lights out of people. patricia joins me now. this is going to terrify me. i know it is. i think it will. i won t tell you why. you ll start looking around your kitchen in various places and thinking, i don t feel so good about certain things. you wait, you ll see. where do you get this desire to scare people? you know, i don t know. but when i was a little kid, i was always writing stories and illustrating little books that i would create. and the kids loved me to tell stories to them. i was the favorite babysitter starting at age 12. i remember one day on a vacancy lot with two little boys my neighbors and i started telling a story. i scared them so badly that they started crying and ran
new york. i m wolf blitzer. thanks for watching. the news continues next on cnn. good evening, everyone. it is testing time in american politics. one leading republican presidential contender, texas governor rick perry, is about to make his debate debut and is drawing a political spotlight as his state deals with punishing wildfires. at this point we re urging people to avoid any outdoor activity which could conceivably start a fire. another top-tier gop contender the former mches governor mitt romney took issue with the democratic incumbent as he outlined a 59-point plan to spur job creation. what he s doing is taking quarters and stuffing them into the pay phone and thinking can t figure out why it s not working. it s not connected anymore, mr. president. all right, your pay phone strategy does not work in a smartphone world. and that indumb bent, governor romney speaks of, president obama, he s at a new low point in his political standing as the president pre
from him during the campaign as well. he s saying, no free ride here. but we need to get this done because it s actually good for the economy and good for american innovation. you know, quoting rupert murdoch. there you go. another immigrant success story. i think that s perfect to end with the fact that this is not the chum is all national memorial backdrop. it s the election 2012. gloria, thank you very much. the president talked about folks who hire some of these immigrants, the farmers and laid out his plans here talking about immigration reform. he talks about what he thinks is working. that s the policy angle. let s talk about the real people angle. in order to do that, i want to bring in paul wanger, who is the president of the california farm bureau. sir, good to see you. i m sure you listened to the president. what do you think? hi, brooke. well, it s interesting right now that we say that those of us in
