Barbara Walters: If Palin ‘can ride around on her bus,’ Weiner can stay in Congress

As revelations about a possible scandal plaguing Rep. Anthony Weiner continue surface, the Democratic New York congressman continues to have defenders:

On Monday’s broadcast of “The View,” co-host Barbara Walters went to bat for Weiner and proposed that the picture in question was intended for his wife and not for whom it was sent.

“First of all, I have my own theory about why he took that picture, if indeed he did take that picture,” Walters said. “This is my theory – this doesn’t mean that it is right. He is married to this beautiful woman, whom I know, who a lot of us know, who the chief of staff to Hillary Clinton and she travels a lot. And it may be that he took that picture and sent it to his wife to say this is how much I miss you. That’s possible.”

That drew laughter from even “The View” co-host Joy Behar, a staunch liberal whose politics fall in line with Weiner’s. However, Walters also defended Weiner by attacking former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. She argued if Palin can make a bus tour and be considered viable for the presidency, then Weiner can get away with this and continue to be a sitting congressman.

Babawa Wawa

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Tony may bring the entire Paparazzi press down with him, Ba-ba first.

[liberalh8ter]

What does Palin riding around on her bus have to do with Weiner? Is this really how Babba Wawa wants to end her career, as one of the commie propaganda hacks?

[ReneeLynn]

Why does anyone pay attention to ‘The View’?

[Jim Robinson]

Barbara Walters is an idiot.

[kbennkc]

Just when you need Dr.Jack Kevorkian.....

[sodpoodle]

She must be taking tranquilizers about now - after Weiner’s admission of guilt.

Mentioning Sarah and Stick-man in the same sentence is blasphemy.

[AppyPappy]

What a shill. That was the most illogical argument I have ever heard.

[RabidBartender]

Wow. Walters is a freakin’ idiot.

[EscapedDutch]

People who watch ‘The View’ should not be allowed to vote or breed.

[DeaconRed]

Liberals ya gota love em.
They come up with some of the biggest piles of do do known to man. . . . .
WAA WAA should run against the community organizer. . . . .

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

What does Palin riding around on her bus have to do with Weiner?

Yeah, seriously. I want to know. Lib logic is just crazy.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Joy Behar hasn’t seen a package in what, 20 years, no wonder she is always so damn angry..I pity any man who would actually sleep with her

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Barbara Walters is an idiot.

That's putting it lightly....

[jongaltsr]

How does a warped mind like BaBa Walters connect a subject like Weiner taking pictures of his crotch and Palin riding on a bus in in any way related.

The liberal mind connects dots that logical, reasonable humans don’t connect.

The liberal mind is a terrible thing.

"And it may be that he took that picture and sent it to his wife to say this is how much I miss you. That’s possible.”

Senility is an ugly thing.

[Fido969]

Ask Baba Wawa if she thinks a married man having an affair is shameful and immoral.

[cripplecreek]

Huh?

[LuvFreeRepublic]

I hope they keep saying stupid things like this. People for sure will distance themselves from them and they lose credibility.

[CitizenM]

Does Baba have Alzheimer’s or something? Her “view” is certainly skewed. As a woman, you would think she would be frightenly angry at Weiner for what he did to his wife. Instead, she tries to cover for him. Libs are truly mentally challenged when it comes to morals and right and wrong.
