"Barbara, you ignorant slut."

Barbara Walters likes to receive Christmas greetings from high-profile celebrities and leaders, but apparently not if they refer to the Bible.
On Thursday’s episode of ABC’s The View, Walters expressed dismay that President and Mrs. Bush would send out greetings containing Scripture.
During the segment, Walters showed the other gals some of the “highfalutin Christmas cards,” and explained the White House card:
“First of all, let me show you the cover of the White House, which is nice and bland…So that’s pleasant enough. This is what interested me, that it is a religious Christmas card. Usually in the past when I have received a Christmas card, it’s been ‘happy holiday’s’ and so on- And this says:
“‘You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You gave life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.’
“That’s from Nehemiah in the Old Testament. I don’t remember— and I’m sure people will remind me—getting a religious card. Now does this also go to agnostics and atheists and Muslims and –”
Moderator Whoopie Goldberg and co-host Sherri Shepherd tried to steer clear of controversy by joking that the Scriptures were about Walters, but Walters persisted in her critique, asking, “Don’t you think it’s a little interesting that the president of all the people is sending out a religious Christmas card?”
Walters showed her co-hosts a Christmas card from Elton John and his partner David Furnish that had angels on the cover. She didn’t have similar concerns over the religious imagery as she did about the Scripture printed in the White House card.
Co-host Joy Behar pointed out to Walters that Elton John’s card was “religious,” and Walters responded, “But it doesn’t say anything religious. It says ‘Season’s Greetings.’”
Later in the show Walters did say, “By the way, I don’t want to put down the President of the United States and his wife. I think it’s very nice that they sent me a Christmas card.”
Christmas greetings can be sent to Barbara Walters at the following address. CMI asks that Christmas greetings be worded in the spirit of the season.

See if you get one next year, you Leftist harridan!
Interesting?
I think it's wonderful!
How gracious of her.
I got one this year and loved it....too bad that liberal bee-atch didn’t....
Barbara, God made all the creatures on earth including even you. Whether one is an agnostic, an atheist, or a Muslim is immaterial.
Anyway, Barbara, Merry Christmas and God bless you.
I got a White House Christmas card a couple of years ago and it is treasured. Barbara Walters can forward hers on to me. I’ll appreciate it.
It takes an unusual person to criticize a Christmas card she received, and publicly too.
Haven’t received mine yet this year.
I’ve always found them to be great. Very tasteful.
Babs Walters is an idiot, and not even a useful one.
I didn’t know it was Barbara Walter Holiday I thought Christmas was about Jesus Christ!
Gosh Barbara guess you feel put out that a birth of a baby upstage YOU!
What an ungrateful and disgusting old hag.
What bothered ME about this card was that on the back, it refers to the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, dedicated in 1965 by First Lady Claudia ‘Lady Bird’ Johnson.
We NO need no stinkin demoRATS on Dubya’s Christmas card!
"Barbara, you ignorant slut."
What a twit! What does she expect to see in a “Christmas card”??
Barbara Walters is such a crusty-old washed up ho.
“That’s from Nehemiah in the Old Testament. I don’t remember— and I’m sure people will remind me—getting a religious card. Now does this also go to agnostics and atheists and Muslims and –”
Athiests and agnostics and Muslims do not have a holiday to be celebrated with a card at this time of year.
Baba Wawa is concerned about offending them with the words in a Christmas card?
Baba, a mind is a terrible thing to lose.
