Zimmerman has just phoned into The View and wants to talk to Barbara Walters. [View all]

They have taken a break and will be back with whatever involving him afterward. Apparently, she and her production team flew down yesterday because his attorney had said he would give her an interview. Once she was there, he asked for something that ABC could not do (implication is that he demanded money). Now he wants to talk. I hope she turns him down. Judge Janine Shapiro is on the show as well as Roseanne Barr.
