Ted Turner puts it in writing

Ted Turner admits to having "foot-in-the-mouth disease." For a good deal of his adult life, he has made headlines for his controversial remarks, although in recent years, he has cast a lower profile. Now Turner is back, appearing on "60 Minutes" and "The Late Show With David Letterman" to promote his memoir "Call Me Ted," a look at his life that chronicles his rise from billboard businessman to cable visionary to philanthropist.
