BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

This week, the following column by Andrea Peyser appeared in the NEW YORK POST : Crazy couple's a kick, if they don't kill each other By ANDREA PEYSER These crazy kids just can't keep their hands off each other. Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook. The white- tooth glamazons go together, like Botox and hair weaves. A year after I thought we'd seen the last of the aging, controlling sex addict and the aging, controlling supermodel who divorced him, the Cook-Brinkleys, I'm afraid, have become a nagging social disease. They're not done yet. "He'd do anything he can to harm Christie's reputation and somehow suggest he isn't the scumbag pervert he's been painted to be," lawyer Joseph Quatela, of Christie's legal team, told me after the pair signed off on Part II of their divorce. "Peter Cook believes she is so angry with him and that her hatred for him will exceed her love for her children," responded Cook lawyer Steven Kuhn. And ...

Unbelievable... "save lives?" - this is truly sickening. Where is N.O.W. or Planned Parenthood? Where are the feminists who all think FauxBama is so wonderful?

RAPE VICTIM PARDONED "Reportedly" the Saudi woman sentenced to 200 lashes because she APPEALED? Has been pardoned. The judges say she was "having an illicit affair." Um... how did the men who jumped her and her friend in the car KNOW they were having an affair? Was there a sign on the window? Or is that another misogynistic excuse?

In Saudi Arabi it does. Not a place I want to visit. Ever. Rape is a serious crime. This woman and man have to live with the shame, memory and fear for the REST OF THEIR LIVES. Rape is intimate violence. You never fully recover m...
