Babara Walters Puts Foot Directly Into Mouth By Calling Margaret Cho "Openly Gay"
Hoping to partake in The View's weekly discussion of the previous evening's Dancing With the Stars, Babara Walters stayed up past her bedtime to catch last night's episode. When recalling her favorite moments, she mistakenly called Margaret Cho a lesbian.
After being immediately corrected by almost all of her other co-hosts, she goes on to say "I guess the reason I thought so is that she talked about gay suicide." and that she "didn't know whether it was appropriate to talk about [it] there." Oh really.
