Barbara Walters claims dog talked to her

I did a segment on "The View" in late '04. As I was waiting in the bullpen (the biggest freaking 'green room' I've ever seen), Barbara walked in to the studio.

She was wearing a lilac sweat suit, at least that's what I'd call it, and a guy with a headset announced to the rest of the union crew "Star on board." To me that meant no more crotch-grabbing or cursing. Barbara looked terrible. She was sorta stooped over and walking slowly. She looked older than the 72(?) she was at the time.

The girls came out after the intro and I swear Barbara had received a shot of who knows what. She came out with the others, almost bouncing while waving to the audience, went from the walking dead to a teenager. She lives on the applause. It made her alive.

Whoever was on the teleprompter was a bit slow on the uptake and I had to improvise. We had run this bit in rehearsal 3 times and had it down to 7 minutes. Of course, I was heading towards going over. The old girl saved the day by jumping in and improvising. Saved my ass and I never forgot that.

Before the cameras came on, Meridath (yeah, I know) was the first one to introduce herself. Star told me "I'm Star Jones," and I said, "Yeah, I know." Joy was a bitch, and as they made an opening, I was "presented" to Barbara. They way she came on, I thought I was supposed to kiss her ring.

Elisbet, supposedly the "conservative" of the group was more insincere than Barbara. When I complimented her on her little speech in front of the delegates at the Republican National Convention, he looked to be embarrassed in front of the rest of them.

What does this have to do with this thread, I have no idea.

I just saw it. I got that in an email the other day but hadn't seen it here yet.

But gee whiz, my parakeet can talk pretty plainly and he ain't restricted to simple words.

My grandmother's parakeet conversed with her in French.

When I was in 10th grade I met this guy who later became a life long friend. Anyhow, the first time he invited me to his house he met me at the door with his pet schnauzer named Chip. He looks at the dog and says, "say 'hi Rog.'"

The dog immediately barked out a two syllable bark that sounded just like "hi Rog!" My buddy and I looked at each other in amazement and just laughed out loud. I'll never forget that!

This collection is 100 times better that that. I liked the "Do you want it? -- I want it" and the "I love my mama" dogs especially.

And she probably thinks it's nuts when someone says God talked to them.

My dog says "I love you" by leaving rabbit fees under my chair. Kind of like "Say it with flowers" in dogspeak.

I read somewhere about a parrot that says, "I can talk. Can you fly?"

Hillary Clinton said Eleanor Roosevelt talked to her. I'll believe a live dog can talk before I can a dead woman.
