Here is video of Charles Gibson on The View talking about why he is going to retire...(Video)Gibson said he has had a "terrific career" and this past election was "an election of a lifetime" because "It was an amazing moment to say to the country that we have elected an African-American as the 44th President of the United States." Gibson then said "I carried no water for Obama, it was just an amazing moment for the progress of this country."

Barbara Walters FAILS to pick the REAL LADY and REAL AMERICAN, Sarah Palin.

Barbara Walters will highlight Glenn Beck among her "10 Most Fascinating People of 2009" special next Wednesday when it airs on ABC at 10pmET. He joins the likes of Sarah Palin, Adam Lambert, and Lady Gaga. Beck is definitely a unique television personality. Tomorrow night, he'll make another venture to the big screen, when his "The Christmas Sweater - A Return To Redemption...LIVE!" stage show will be simulcast in HD movie theaters across the country. Apparently, it's the closest most people will be able to get to seeing him live this winter. His "Bold and Fresh" tour with Bill O'Reilly...

Sarah Palin says she’d rate Barack Obama's performance as president a 4 out of 10. She criticized the president for his handling of the economy and for "dithering" on national security questions. "There are a lot of decisions being made that I — and probably the majority of Americans — are not impressed with right now," she said in an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters Tuesday. She said Obama's Nobel Peace Prize was "premature." The former Alaska governor also said that a 2012 presidential bid is "not on my radar," but wouldn't rule out playing some role in the next...

Here is video in two parts of Gov. Sarah Palin being interviewed by Barbara Walters for Good Morning America. Walters asked Palin if she wants to be President. Palin said that is "not on my radar screen right now." She said she has been receiving many offers, but would not say if she has been offered a talk show. She did say she has been offered at reality show, which she turned down. In the video, Palin also rates Barack Obama on a Scale of 1 to 10; Says Obama was not yet deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize; and...

Had a great conversation today with Barbara Walters regarding America’s special needs community. Her compassion for those who some in our society see as “less than perfect” comes from personal experience as she was so close to her sister. Barbara wrote lovingly about her sister in her #1 bestselling memoir titled, Audition. Barbara and I even attempted to interview Trig during this segment, but he was about as patient through the interview as any other one-and-a-half-year-old child! I appreciate Barbara highlighting America’s special needs community. The beautiful heart of our country shines when we embrace these precious ones. Knowing of...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin turns more political in her interview with ABC's Barbara Walters. Their chat starts on Tuesday's "(Video) Good Morning America." Palin's first interview to promote her book, "Going Rogue," aired today on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Palin has blasted President Barack Obama's push for health-care reform by saying the changes would open decisions on the elderly and disabled to "death panels." Obama has blasted that criticism as "a lie, plain and simple." Palin notes that the words "death panels" are not found "in any of those thousands of pages of different variations of the health-care bill."...

An interview with Oprah Winfrey is already scheduled, and I’m also planning to talk with Bill O’Reilly, Barbara Walters, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Dennis Miller, Tammy Bruce, and others, including local Alaska personalities Bob & Mark and Eddie Burke. (Variety is the spice of life!)

Former Senator Edward Brooke received the Congressional Gold Medal today from President Obama. I looked at the rules for recipients, and one of them is they shall not receive it if they have receive it if they have received another for essentially the same thing. He did. He was the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004. NOTES: "Gold Medalist: President Barack Obama will speak today at a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol awarding former Massachusetts Republican Sen. Edward Brooke the Congressional Gold Medal, one of the nation’s highest honors. Brooke, 90 years old, will be in attendance....

Whoopi proceeded to do her usual scowl and slump in the chair act that she reserves for anyone she perceives to be of a different mindset than hers. Most especially anyone not of the democrat persuasion. Whoopi was embarrassing and her sidekick Barbara Walters looked like a wannabe irate and important challenge to Glenn Beck when in reality Barbara Walters looked pitiful.

Is Barbara Walters ready to retire? The 79-year-old television legend will reportedly be done with TV later this year. In fact, she's telling friends already that once her ABC contract expires shortly, she'll be calling it quits. Apparently, Walters is "burned out" and ready to relax. An inside source said, "Barbara's thought long and hard over whether she wants to extend her contract when it expires with ABC this summer. It's left her with many sleepless nights. ABC sees her as one of its marquee female stars and would like to see her continue, but Barbara's decided she's 'done it...

Surprise, surprise. Barbara Walters seems to think that Sarah Palin is stupid. Yes, America held its bated, collective breath last week. Anxious citizens waited on seat-egdes, atop pins & needles, and with fingertips gnawed to bloody stubs for the Great Walters to grace mere plebeians with her list of 2008's "10 Most Fascinating People." Though her show would be more fascinating if it were annually called "10 Most Fascinating Reasons Why I'm Even Able To Utter A Sentence, What With This Cleft Palate and All The Botox," I understand the general public's fascination with Walters' fascinations. She is, after all,...

And here you have the best reason for Sara Palin to keep doing what she is doing. She helped get Saxby Chambliss elected. She was the first to accept the CPAC invitation for next year. She is playing for keeps. If Rush has her back in 2012, the Conservatives will be there too, and she will be tough to beat. Video at link . . .

Check out the clip of Barbara Walters's interview of the Obamas, aired on GMA today, and tell me whether you find something off-putting in the way Walters poses what is, after all, a very banal question. And then there's the President-elect's self-centered answer . . . Adopting a tone of maudlin sincerity: BARBARA WALTERS: You know, I don't have to stress the fact that this is such a hard time for this country. Do you have a Thanksgiving message that you would like to give to the people? "The people"? Wouldn't "Americans" or perhaps "your fellow Americans" be customary? And...

The Barack Obama media tour is making another stop -- and at another high-profile place. A week after the president-elect and first lady-elect Michelle Obama spoke to "60 Minutes," they're sitting down for an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters. It'll air as a one-hour special Wednesday night on ABC. ABC said the interview would touch on the transition, the economy, foreign policy and how the family is dealing with the immense change in their lives.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008: Joy calls Sarah Palin a few names, inclusing "DUMB" and more, MUCH MORE!!! Barbara Walters confronts Elisabeth Hasselbeck and asks her why she keeps defending Palin all of the time. These broads are totally losing it in this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_GjgZseFRc

Barbara Walters: Syrian Dictator 'Charming,' 'Intelligent' By Justin McCarthy | July 7, 2008 - 15:31 Surprise! Barbara Walters visits an anti-American dictator and returns with very nice remarks about him. Returning from the week long break on "The View" July 7, Barbara Walters described how she spent America’s birthday, and the celebration of a document denouncing tyranny, with an anti-American tyrant.While most Americans celebrated Independence Day with fireworks and barbeques, Barbara Walters spent the occasion dining with Syrian leader Bashir al-Assad, whom Walters described as "intelligent" and "charming" who wants "very much to have good relations with us." Perhaps...
