Culture: Rielle Hunter’s sexy GQ photos not what Rielle Hunter expected

  • You hear that? It’s the sound of immense regret crash­ing down on a woman who’s saying to herself, “I’ve made a huge mistake.” Rielle Hunter’s GQ inter­view and photo spread, which is nearly as skeezy as anything Eric Massa told Glenn Beck a week ago, was not supposed to be anything like that, she told Barbara Walters. Hunter also wasn’t wearing John Edwards’ shirt, but the photographer’s. She called the photographs “repul­sive,” accord­ing to Walters, who regaled the tale on “The View.” She seemed comfort­able during the shoot, though! source

Chatter: Max Headroom: Paul Krugman has brass cajones, and then some


  • Owning the inter­view Scott Brown had a good chance to chill with Barbara Walters recently, and he does a really great job of coming off really smart in this inter­view – much smarter than Babs, in fact. The whole “big tent” thing should sit well with tea partiers, though. Heh heh.
  • A “delib­er­ate” Rip New York Times colum­nist Paul Krugman, a pretty smart guy if you ask us, was also on ABC’s “This Week” and had a pretty amazing rip on Fox News, calling their handling of the health care debate “delib­er­ate misin­for­ma­tion.” He says it right to Roger Ailes’ face.

  • Call it Candy­Land John King of CNN’s Sunday show, “State of the Union,” is headed to the grind of weekday analy­sis. (And he’s taking his magic wall with him.) His replace­ment? Candy Crawley. She’s going to be the only female host of a Sunday talk show, which should be interesting.

Chatter: Max Headroom: Not even Barbara Walters can soft-pedal Glenn Beck

  • The Odd Couple Here’s that Alan Greenspan video we mentioned earlier. Our boy Al says a lot of smart stuff here, but the part that weirds us out is the fact that his sparring partner is crazy finan­cial guy Jim Cramer. Great match, guys.


  • The Moder­ate Couple     On “Face the Nation,” Joe Lieber­man and Ben Nelson were stand­ing their ground for a health care option which gets rid of all the stuff that makes the health care bill desir­able. These two guys are holding the bill back, liberal types.


  • The Vapid Couple    Barbara Walters’ “10 Most Fasci­nat­ing People” must’ve hit the bottom of the barrel this year, because Glenn Beck was on the list. Here’s the inter­view, and we must warn you: Glenn Beck still sounds like an idiot when he’s talking to Barbara Walters.

Culture: Patrick Swayze in January: I’m not gonna chase staying alive

  • One thing I’m not gonna do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won’t live.
  • Patrick Swayze • In an interview with Barbara Walters in January about his pancreatic cancer. At the time, Swayze said he expected to live two years. “I want to last until they find a cure,” he said in the interview, “which means I’d better get a fire under it.” He didn’t get a chance, sadly. • source
