Staff at ABC News' DC bureau is icy to 'cold' Christiane Amanpour

The knives are out for Christiane Amanpour at ABC News' DC bureau. Since the ex-CNN war correspondent began anchoring "This Week" in August, she's upset some co-workers "Amanpour flies into Washington on Friday and anchors the show on Sunday," an insider griped. "She reads about Washington from her Central Park apartment. It's not like other war zones that you can parachute into. She is very cold and distant with the other bureau staff." Some resent Amanpour's friendship with Disney honcho Bob Iger and his wife, Willow Bay. Disney owns ABC. Other staffers gripe that despite her reputation

About 30 years ago she might have been a bit of a babe. But now she is menapausal wreck with a face like a tractor wheel. Hilariously, she is trying to flatten out her British accent to appear more American to her miniscule audience.

At least Hitchens is an affable, entertaining drunk.

She also looks like she got hit by the ugly stick. Age has not treated her well.

Willow Bay?

Sounds like an overpriced apartment community.

[Doc Savage]

She...IS a MAN! Seriously. Look at her angular and ugly dace, her huge hands and feet.

What sweet irony it would be for the “War Slut” Christiane to dust off her Iranian suicide bomb vest and “go postal” — er, Islamic — at the ABC News headquarters. This would be HUGH. Oh, the HUGH MANATEE!

That’s really it? Great job, null.

[null and void]

No, apparently not, compare to posts 35 & 37.

Painting of 9/11 twin towers burning, given to Christiane Amanpour by the enemy in Iran and she gets "joy" from seeing it. from post #37

Thanks - and it's much worse than the one who had... stunning.

[GOPJ]

see post #37 Christiane Amanpour is standing next to the ‘painting’...

[My Favorite Headache]

WTF?!?!?!?!?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Nachum. BTW, what's this "CNN" and "ABC"?

Since the ex-CNN war correspondent began anchoring "This Week" in August, she's upset some co-workers "Amanpour flies into Washington on Friday and anchors the show on Sunday," an insider griped... Some resent Amanpour's friendship with Disney honcho Bob Iger and his wife, Willow Bay. Disney owns ABC.

Christiane is a HORRIBLE person......hope Iger goes down too!!

[ColdOne]

Thanks for this ping I cannot stand her! Laura Ingraham does a great impersonation of her on her radio show.

[ColdOne]

She is a awful person. That hard hitting journalistic interview with Megan McCain.... I be she is proud of that one?

[lonestar]

I refuse to watch her ...can’t stand her foreign accent.

Christiane Amanpour: "Favorite Item in the Apartment: A massive painting that I got in Iran, a few years ago, by Farideh Lashai, a friend who is also Iran’s pre-eminent abstract-expressionist painter. It gives me joy every time I walk in my door."

"Painting of 9/11 twin towers burning, given to Christiane Amanpour by the enemy in Iran and she gets "joy" from seeing it."

Check out photo at # 35, and # 37.

Christiane Amanpour emits ‘cold’ even through the TV screen, so can't say as I blame them. She seems arrogant too.

Good grief, leave it to a Disney honcho[Bob Iger] to marry someone named Willow Bay !
