Bernie on Barbara Walters' 10 Most Interesting People of 2015 List (Original Post)

(50,983 posts)1. Barbara Wawa once said, "Rush Limbaugh is a fascinating man."
So, while it's nice that Barbara recognized Bernie, I have little respect for her opinion.

A lot of people still watch that woman for some reason.

The more exposure he gets, the better. See, DWS, et. al., have to keep Hillary under wraps b/c they're afraid people might see through her.
But us, we want people to see into and through Bernie because he's real and true all the way through.
Bernie's the one, and we want people to know it.

The list is "Most Fascinating", not "Greatest". Although I hate him, I suppose Rush would qualify as fascinating in a twisted sort of way. But Baba is a NY liberal. I think this is a good thing.

fascinating people too.
