Barbara Walters didn't just say that, did she?
"Mr President, I want to thank you for choosing me to do this interview, so shall we begin the torture?"

LOL

6. I can't watch her anymore...
I mean, I like her interview style, but her producers find it necessary to hide her aging with a lens so soft, it gives me a headache to watch it...seriously.

9. I couldn't watch her after 9/11
when she went on Letterman, and he asked, "What happened? Who's fault is it?"

She started off with something along the lines of 'There are lots of factors,' etc. but, adjusting in her chair, tossed out, "Probably Clinton."

12. I turned it off after Walters asked about whether the war is worth it
Laura responded by saying: "I don't know about people not supporting the war, but I do know they remember what happened on 9/11" (or something to that effect)

That seems to be the only drum they have left to beat.

17. Apparently she doesn't remember what happened on 9/11.
Iraq had nothing to do with those attacks. :mad:

14. Was it Barbara Wallters who tried to seduce Nixon?
IT was her or another blonde newshead who worked at the WH and tried to seduce Nixon - only Nixon rebuffed her.

18. It's not clear who is torturing whom.
Edited on Sat Jan-15-05 12:21 AM by Paranoid_Portlander
Or maybe both at the same time, in their own way. They deserve each other.
