John C Calhoun is turning over in his grave.

New York Post July 23, 2008

BARBARA Walters must miss the days of Star Jones and Rosie O'Donnell. The latest embarrassment on "The View," Sherri Shepherd, who once said she thinks the world is flat, tells Christian magazine Precious Times about her past: "I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count." Shepherd, a born-again Christian, also thinks Walters, who is Jewish, needs saving. "Oh, sometimes I say, 'Lord, [evangelists] Juanita Bynum or Joyce Meyer would be so good at this table. They could lay hands on Barbara and get her saved.' "

The last person to lay hands on Barbara Walters was Senator John C. Calhoun in his freshman stint as Senator from South Carolina. As recently outlined in her autobiography, Miss Walters admitted the affair with a senator who changed her views on an important social issue.

Now Miss Walters only hires Filipinos.
