Walters called Obama "sexy," which would have been a mite awkward coming from Wolf Blitzer.

...figures who've brought progress to this country. Who are your role models? I think one of the people who has had the most impact on me, certainly in my professional life, is Shahid Beheshti [one of the founding members of the Islamic Republic and its leading jurist and constitutionalist; assassinated in 1981].

Roger Noriega, who until last...
...binge was too much even for Nicaragua's notoriously crooked system: He was convicted and sentenced in 2003 to 20 years in prison. Due to unspecified "health" reasons, he's allowed to serve his time under house arrest, where he still commands a large faction of his powerful Liberal Constitutionalist Party...
