Barbara Walters: I'm felling bad for Sarah Palin

[bigdarryl]

WOW!! it's time for Barbara (in my opinion)to retire what a stupid statement http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/10/jared-loughner-court_n_807096.html#174_barbara-walters-im-feeling-bad-for-sarah-palin

1. Well, I feel badly for her myself

because ALL the trouble she's caused...

2. Face it.... it's ok for the Right to Shoot and Kill anyone to the left of them

fucking morons... "I feel bad..." - disgusting

[my2sense]

3. I feel bad for the victims

and their families.

[madmax]

4. Ob Babs

Go get something lifted, or tucked. It will make you feel better. :eyes:

[flpoljunkie]

5. Walters' statement made little sense.

I’m feeling bad for Sarah Palin because I don’t think that’s what she should have said, and certainly crosshairs are very scary,” Walters said.

[spotbird]

6. Isn't that special?

Did anyone not know this about Baba?

[Kerrytravelers]

7. That has got to be the dumbest statement I've read in quite some time.

I expect stupidity from Palin and her ilk, and I'm no great fan of Walters, but to actually say she feels bad for Palin... what a low to stoop to.

[Blue Owl]

15. +1

Way to identify the true victim in this tragedy, Barbara...

:sarcasm:

:mad:

8. Did Joy and Whoopie walk off the set? I hope they did!

[golfguru]

9. Thank you for making me laugh with that comment

I needed a good laugh!

[jenmito]

10. My pleasure!

:hi:

[patrice]

11. What do you expect between 2 out-of-touch media constructions? nt

[bullwinkle428]

12. If there was ever a better illustration of how she feels about

"the little people" vs. a high-falootin' celebrity-type, I've yet to see it.

[Thrill]

13. Media in full career saving mode for her,

.

[niceypoo]

14. Lets all shed tears for the right!

Gimme a frickin' break

[applegrove]

16. Sarah Palin messes up again and again and always manages to convince

people to feel sorry for her. That is her thing.

[calimary]

17. I'm not.

Like Will Pitt says - she's a frickin' Lady MacBeth. Nothing will wash the blood off your little hand, girlie-poo.

18. Barbara Walters climbed the ladder of success...

...by fawning over the rich and powerful. Her M.O. has never changed over the years, so this latest statement does not surprise me.

She cares only about the powerful and their all-important public images. That's it. If 19 people are shot and 6 of them die, that's collateral damage. The real tragedy is the tarnishing of Sister Sarah's public image, and Baba Wawa must do what she can to minimize it.

[AspenRose]

19. I remember when she interviewed Patrick Swayze after his dad died

She had agreed not to bring up his dad in the interview, since he had recently died and Patrick was still upset about his passing.

Guess what she did.

And then there was that Mark David Chapman interview...

[fatbuckel]

20. Barbara Walters is a producer and personality. She is concerned about ratings.

[Phx_Dem]

21. Please. She should have retired ages ago.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

22. Joy was absent from that segment. I'll bet she decided

she didn't want to be there to hear Barbara's ramblings.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. Then train your Vaseline lens on her, you twit.

[Canuckistanian]

24. Hehehe.. I have a different take on this

If the famous and legendary BabaWaWa "feels sorry" for Caribou Barbie, imagine what a message that sends to Palin.

Palin can't laugh this off any more - too many people consider her actions to be extreme. And people are starting to question needless violent rhetoric and gun worshippers.

Pair this with Pawlenty's comments today and Palin is out of the race for 2012.

Perception is everything. And people have perceived that Palin went too far.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. I feel badly for Palin too...

She's heaping up a helluva lot of negative Karma for herself.

[lunatica]

26. Baba Wawa obviously wants to interview Sarah Palin

kissee ass, kissee ass.

[WI_DEM]

27. Palin is one of the most obnoxious political personalities out there

she is always on the attack and when it turns on her she can't stomach it. I don't feel a bit sorry for her.

[Jakes Progress]

28. I wonder how barbara would feel about a politician -

say Biden or some other Democrat - saying that media people like walters need to understand how painful it is to be the target of a hate campaign and suggest that if you can't get them off the air with letters, maybe we should try bullets. You have to wonder if these ass holes know they are hypocrites or whether they are so self deluded that they spout this crap without wincing at their own lying.
