First English, then in Farsi.



She is 68 and has still "got it", IMHO.

  1. She still looks beautiful, too. Can't stand her politics but love her voice (although there's a tad too much vibrato). And I admire her for admitting she was wrong in dismissing / denying the bloodbath that would follow our pullout from Vietnam.

  3. I'm buying tiles for my kitchen so the first thing I noticed were the awesome green tiles. I am a heathen.

    seriously, this was a very charmingly made video, obviously spontaneous and heartfelt. I say this with zero snark. wearing the green etc.

  4. Yes, I love the kitchen. I think it's where she is being interviewed in No Direction Home which is a must see.
