HEH.

Scott Feschuk has an excellent column in today's National Post about Barbara Walters' Larry King-style (i.e. pointless, sycophantic, and inane) interview of Hillary Clinton.

A Barbara Walters interview is usually an awful marriage of sycophantic queries and dubious spin. With Hillary Rodham Clinton as guest, there were subtle changes. The sycophantic queries and dubious spin were about an awful marriage.

The hour-long program, which aired last night on ABC, was entitled Hillary Clinton's Journey: Public. Private. Personal. Or, to put that subtitle in the context of a typical viewer's degree of interest: Couldn't Care Less, Whatever and Dish It, Baby! A more accurate title might have been Her New Book's Coming Out Monday So, You Know, Somebody's Got to Interview Her.

Go read the whole thing, but this is definitely the money paragraph, in my opinion:

Hillary Clinton splits public opinion like a Dairy Queen staffer on a banana. There are those who see her as the devil and there are those who see her more favourably: as the devil's efficient she-bride, for instance.

Hehehehehehehe...
