Veteran ABC newswoman Barbara Walters has fallen at an inauguration party at an ambassador's home in Washington and has been hospitalized. Walters, 83, fell Saturday night on a step at the residence of Britain's ambassador to the United States, Peter Westmacott, ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said. The fall left Walters with a cut on her forehead, he said. Walters, out of an abundance of caution, went to a hospital for treatment of the cut and for a full examination, Schneider said on Sunday. She was alert and was "telling everyone what to do, which we all take as a very positive sign," he said. It was unclear when Walters might be released from the hospital, which ABC didn't identify.

"83 and still working? Bizarre"

Just like Ed McMahon. He fell and broke his leg and couldn't work for a few months. That meant he no longer could make his house payments, and his house was forclosed. He obviously spent every cent he ever earned. Maybe Baba Wawa is in the same boat.

Ya know, as a result of such shocks some people end up losing their speech impediments or various body ticks (not the insects, stupid!) If that happened to Ms Walters it would be a career killer.

She needs to quit. She is too old, too white, and too rich.
