Surprise! Barbara Walters visits an anti-American dictator and returns with very nice remarks about him. Returning from the week long break on "The View" July 7, Barbara Walters described how she spent America’s birthday, and the celebration of a document denouncing tyranny, with an anti-American tyrant.
While most Americans celebrated Independence Day with fireworks and barbeques, Barbara Walters spent the occasion dining with Syrian leader Bashir al-Assad, whom Walters described as "intelligent" and "charming" who wants "very much to have good relations with us." Perhaps realizing her own gushiness about Assad Walters pre-empted accusations and denied she is "brainwashed."
The veteran journalist began by noting Syria remains on the State Departments terrorism list because "they are against the war in Iraq." While she did note Syria’s support for Hamas and Hezbollah, she described them simply as "two groups that we consider unfriendly in Israel." She did not note the many suicide bombings targeting innocent civilians those groups support.
An interesting article. Read the rest Here
Barbara is seeking media attention for her show (it worked for Rosie). I consider her show about as enlightening as Jerry Springer’s (and don’t watch it).
Her show is for airheaded surburban soccer moms who don’t work/never have, and care more about who wins the American Idol show this year than national security. I know a lot of women like this, unfortunately.
These folks are too self absorbed and stupid to vote in most cases. Pulling a lever or pushing a button is so difficult on those long, artificial nails, and if they have a sale going at the mall on election day they wouldn’t be bothered to vote.
That's like saying a desert isn't friendly to ice-cream cones. What a complete dolt.
LOL, a 75 year old slut probably angling for the last “bone” she’s likely to get in her wretched life.
As Barbara approaches 80 it appears dementia and senility is setting in. I wonder if she had a fling with the Syrian leader. She will be able to write about it in her next book, if she remembers.
Oh, I'm sure she would have said the same thing about Hitler back in 1935!
Barbara’s just trying to make Fidel jealous; she’s a very lonely woman.
WHat a twit..
She has yet to meet a dictator she didn’t like.
And she probably slept with him too.
not only baba
but the nyt several years ago presented mr and mrs assad
in their sunday mag as hollywood stars.
si.
That’s combined IQ I presume?
Many felt that way about Ted Bundy too.
My english teacher in High School had been in Vienna when the Nazis took over. She met Hitler, who wanted her to teach his soldiers english (I wonder why /s). She said he was a very pleasant person, intelligent and possessing a fine sense of humor.
She turned him down.
According to her book she sleeps with that kind of man.
No Babwah, you’re just old, horney, stupid and easily amused by shiny objects.
Another conquest in bed for the ‘high mileage’ boaster?
When asked to choose the single most significant photograph of the 20th century, Barbara Walters chose a small photo of two people standing side-by-side. Who were the people? Barbara Walters and Fidel Castro.
That tells you everything you'll ever need to know about the intellect and the judgment of Barbara Walters.
Barbara, you gullible slut.
