“Pioneering” America hating communist is more like it. She hasn’t even crossed my mind for 20 years. And that was because of Gilda Radner.

With her terrible speech impediment, there has to be a reason why she succeeded in journalism. I couldn’t stand 2 seconds of her “whisping” all her letters while she spoke.

She was a propagandizing liberal puke.

I'll just say RIP and leave it at that. But... pioneering? Really?

And I can never hear Barbara Walters without thinking of Gilda Radner's Baba Wawa.

She (her character) gave SNL some funny material, back in the 70s & 80s.
