Had this thought just today. When Barbara Walters does one of her in-depth profiles it seems like her main goal is to make whoever she's interviewing cry. And she does a pretty good job of it, which probably goes to show how self-involved you have to be in order to be of interest to her in the first place.
The great Barbara tears tsunami seems to be pretty tough to resist. So as a public service I have developed a strategy to help deal with this issue. If you happen to be being interviewed by Barbara Walters, and she is asking her usual probing questions to the point where you feel yourself on the verge of tears, simply make one request of her: ask her to say "silly rabbit."
She will either stop tape and throw you off the set (if you are a minor celebrity), or accomodate you if you are important enough to drive ratings during sweeps month. Either way, problem solved.

I think it's a full circle proposition. Barbara makes them cry and I cry because I have nothing better to do that watch Barbara Walters.
And that makes me cry!
