Barbara Walters’ Blog

I'd rather see Rather fry

By Barbara Walters

Bio & Blog

Everyone’s been speaking up about my good friend Dan Rather and his 70 million dollar lawsuit against CBS (including my ex dear friend Katie Couric on this very blogosphere). But I feel I must throw in my two cents, or in my case, my two million bucks.

We broadcasting megastars are like a family. In fact, I’ve always looked up to Dan Rather as a father figure (and Katie Couric as an evil stepsister). Like every family, there are heroes, hellions, whores, and scum of the earth. For fifty years, Dan Rather was a hero. Now I feel he has become money-grubbing scum, giving us all a terribly bad name.

Unlike yours truly, Dan Rather’s halcyon days are behind him. The only job he managed to land after being canned from CBS was on the obscure cable channel HDNet, whatever the hell that is. From my point of “view,” he might as well have become kitchen help at Church’s Fried Chicken.

He wants to be back in the limelight. Instead, he’s in the slimelight.

Barack Obama:

Let the truth be told. Barbara Walters is an adultrous, home wrecking, nigger loving whore. She says it all for herself in her new book. No woman journalist owes their job to Barbara, cause I'm sure most of them got where they were without having to spread their legs and cheat on their spouses. You're disgusting Barbara! You will never be looked at the same you sleezy whore!

Barbara - when ever are you going to monitor your show and stop letting women talk over each other...........and WHEN did it become OKAY for your black personnel to use the "N" word but the white people can't.......what are they ruling the world.....what attitude - barbaric!

Your show is disgusting and I personally wouldn't waste my time. Intelligent people really don't watch your show - look at who you have on there - Joy, not only ugly but mouthy and disgusting, Whoopie - I thought brought a calmness to the show but now greed has gone to her head as well, and whoever is that BIG black girl - she doesn't have a brain in her head........good grief barbara.........what were you thinking.......are you totally greedy and money hungry.

I did admired you at one time but it is OVER. I don't even want to read your big book in paperback - you have become a disloyal and obnoxious woman who lets her people get out of control and gives them "no direction" as far as being a lady but then again - neither are you.

Dear Ms. Barbara,

I hope you are fine. I have been an admirer of yours for many years. I am so proud of the work you do. However, the past couple of days, it has appeared to me, that there is a fake audience applause when Elizabeth speaks.. Please tell me this is not so.

I respect Elizabeths opinion as many others do, but if the show has to include a fake applause then something is not right.

Please let me know. I await your reply.

Sincerely
