Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

I though it was Bawawa Wawa originally from MAD magazine?    I hated that parodizing of her slight speech defect.

Rest in peace. Barbara.

SNL parodied her much earlier than the Youtube skit linked above.  I distinctly remember Gilda Radner saying "BaBa WaWa" in several parodies of Barbara Walters.  Although it has been a gazillion years since I've seen those skits, so it's remotely possible that I could be slightly mistaken.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Baba Wawa! How Barbara Walters 'Came to Terms' with Gilda Radner's Infamous SNL Impression of Her 
https://people.com/tv/baba-wawa-how-barbara-walters-came-to-terms-with-gilda-radners-infamous-snl-impression-of-her/

Quote
Barbara Walters was famously not too fond of the Saturday Night Live star and original cast member Gilda Radner's impression of her, but eventually "lightened up" about it.

In SNL's first season in 1976, the late comic debuted her caricature of the legendary news anchor, who died on Friday evening, her rep confirmed to PEOPLE.

Quote
"I hated the Gilda Radner 'Baba Wawa' until I walked into my daughter's room one night — she was up watching it ... I said, 'What are you doing up?' and she said 'I'm watching Baba Wawa.'"

Walters recalled her reaction being one of annoyance and frustration. "I mean — look what she's doing," she remembered saying to her her daughter, Jacqueline Dena Guber, now 54,

"Oh Mommy, lighten up," her daughter replied.

"And then — I did," Walters said with a smile.

In early April of 1979 then-Pwesident Carter got weewy weewy big after going in to qwean up a spwill in the core of the 3 Mile Island nuclear weactor. She joined us as the pwess confwence was alweady in pwogwess. 
I busted a gut when she said "Wet's wisten in"

It may be inappropriate in this "obituary" thread, but that's never stopped me before.
