It’s dizzying, really, if you think about it: In this clip, media celebrity Barbara Walters names political celebrity Sarah Palin as one of her “Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People of 2008,” which people are mostly compelled to watch because Walters’ name is attached to it.

And thus, to give her TV special a boost, Walters included Palin in her star-studded lineup (read: celebrity cluster-&%$#), thus mutually increasing both of their star wattage.

Celebrities are fascinating!

(Walters found Barack Obama really, really fascinating, too.)
