How Original: Behar Makes Fat Joke About Christie
On the April 30 edition of ABC’s The View, co-host Barbara Walters started a discussion about the preceding Saturday's White House Correspondent’s Association (WHCA) dinner. However, as usual, liberal comedian Joy Behar had to throw in a few cheap shots at a Republican.
During their discussion, most of the panel discussed the night's memorable jokes, including one made by comedian Jimmy Kimmel at Walters's expense. In all, the segment was supposed to be a light-hearted discussion about the WHCA dinner, which has a tradition of ribbing politicians of both sides of the aisle as well as journalists. [Audio here. Video below the jump.]
Of course, Joy Behar, who can't turn her partisanship off for a minute, saw the opportunity to make a lame fat joke about New Jersey governor Christ Christie. "Of course, Chris Christie was there, there was a buffet!” she chortled. How original, Joy.
Behar defended herself by saying Jimmy Kimmel made similar jokes, but conservative panelist Elisabeth Hasselbeck gave Behar a minor lecture, asking whether or not the View’s panel would crack fat jokes about female politicians.
By the way, this isn’t the first time the View has pondered whether Gov. Christie is too pudgy to be POTUS.
The relevant transcript is below.

BARBARA WALTERS: I sat next to Bill Lawrence, who is the creator and executive producer of Cougar Town and Scrubs. And his wife, you all know, Christa Miller, who stars in Cougar Town, has been on with us many times and [inaudible], Thomas Donilon, I hope I pronounced it right, Donilon, who is the national security adviser for Obama and he was saying that last year, Whoopi, he was sitting there laughing, but as was the President, but he knew that the very next day, they were going to go after Osama Bin Laden.
JOY BEHAR: Well, oh course Chris Christie was there, there was a buffet.
[ laughter ]
SHERRI SHEPHERD: You couldn’t help yourself there, could you?
WALTERS: Jimmy Kimmel was on after there.
BEHAR: Can I say they took a fuel shots at Chris Christie. Fat jokes? You know, Jimmy Kimmel did. He took it in great spirits. So I’m assuming this joke would have amused him also.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: Why is it okay to go after a fat guy, not a fat woman at this table?
BEHAR: Its obvious, isn’t it?
HASSELBECK: I’m just asking.

No reflection anyway.
No she didn't destroy them

The ones that were wide enough to reflect this HUGE bag of putrid rotting flesh broke by themselves. Even the mirrors couldn't stand what they were reflecting...

She thinks she's absolutely funny. Joy take a suggestion; look at yourself in the mirror and you'll understand why no one likes you. You're a has been out of touch with reality,but I'll give you some reality., You're ugly. You look like the result of a bad sex act.

Liberals like Joyless Behag love to whine about bullying and get on their soapbox to tell us all how we need to be more civil. Of course, that doesn't apply to conservatives. Fat jokes about Chris Christie, gay jokes about Marcus Bachmann, slut jokes about Sarah Palin...and the list goes on. Who's being the bullies here?
Did she used to make fat jokes about co-panelist Rosie the Pig?

Or jokes about fat Michael Moore?

the one really laughing was, her. No one else hardly cracked a smile. Wonder if she ever gets tired of her own mouth blabbing remarks that don't get a laugh. She is becoming worse each and every time she trys to be a comedian. You are a has-been Joy, get used to it.

considering Behar has more chins than a Chinese phone book.
NYC had a brown-out the other night. It was caused by Behar's liposuction pump.
Last week, New Yorkers looked up in the sky to see a strangely oversized object flying over Manhattan. It wasn't the Enterprise piggy-backed on a 747--it was Behar piggy-backed on two Goodyear blimps. They had to use two after they tried one and gave Snoopy a hernia.
After a long day sitting on her butt at The View, Behar likes to go to a ballgame, where her butt blocks everybody's view.
Behar was invited to a sumptuous inauguration buffet at one of Africa's most food-rich countries. Now they call it Ethiopia.

What a racist you are. You're no better than the guy who wrote the headline about Jeremy Lin and said "chink in the armor." You're fired. And all those hateful sexist jokes about Rebar? Well, they're hurtful and you can't say them. I'm going to tell Sister Mary Bloomberg and he'll rap your knuckles. You're like some pansy-ass Republican woman hater, not an upstanding comedian like Bill Mohair, whose love of women and this cntry is unassailable.
Rules for thee but not for me

Ah, how appropriate on May Day and Occupy Somebody Else's Accomplishment, Joey Rebar trashes Chris Christie. And her excuse is "Wahhh, Jimmie Kimmel started it!"
But her reply to Elisabeth Hasselbeck's reprimand is instructive: "It's obvious, isn't it?" I.e., we've got the Big Media to run interference and explain away why we can say "Marcus Bachmann looks gay" or "Christie is a buffet hound" and Clarence Thomas is a "house negro" without getting slammed.

making jackass jokes about her. But probably funnier.
Judging by the size of Joys
Submitted by John21 on Tue, 05/01/2012 - 2:21pm.
Judging by the size of Joys behind she should be one of the last to talk about fat people.
She is about a inch or so of being unable to get through a door. Well, maybe if she turned sideways she might have 2 or 3 inches.
Well I guess the cow will always talk bad bout the bull.

Quit calling this hateful shrew a comedian. It's an insult to everyone who's ever put on a ludicrously large bowtie, sprayed the crowd with seltzer, and told a "chicken crossing the road" joke. You actually have to be funny to be a comedian, and Behar couldn't draw laughter if you flooded the most sycophantic Liberal audience with nitrous oxide.
Turn around

Libs are all about "fairness"...therefore, there should be no problem referring to her as an " stupid ugly bitch"...the ultimate liberal trifecta!
Fat jokes just like Gay jokes, both are genetic....
Submitted by bohratom on Wed, 05/02/2012 - 3:01am.
Mark my word afew years from now science will confirm both being gay and being overweight is genetic....Till then we have to deal with the libs who do not understand that concept and attack Christie overweight and not attack gays.
Wake up Libs, both are genetic and stop attacking those overweight...
Genetic?
