Joy Behar’s case of Bush Derangement Syndrome is so severe that she mocks them for what she herself it guilty of. It is no secret she hates the Bush administration to the point of calling them liars and murderers, comparing their former defense secretary to Hitler, applying a different standard to Bush than to Hillary Clinton, and even to the point of airing false charges on the administration. The December 5 edition of "The View" added some hypocrisy in her latest charge.
Joy Behar mocked President Bush because he "can not say [Iranian Leader] Ahmadinejad," and "he’s annoying because he can not." Behar should look to her own past. Just eight months ago, during Rosie O’Donnell’s rant against U.S. policy and the Iranian hostage crisis, Behar responded to Rosie and condemned Iran's leader.
"This guy Amanidajaja (sic), whatever his name is. He is a bad guy, he is a very bad guy. He stated explicitly he wants to wipe Israel off the map. This guy is a bad guy."
The short transcript of the December 5 conversation is below.
JOY BEHAR: You know President Bush can not say Ahmadinejad, can not say the-
BARBARA WALTERS: I was going to call him up after I watched that press conference, which was quite-
SHERRI SHEPHERD: You were going to call President Bush?
WALTERS: I was going to call President Bush up and say "Mr. President, you’re having a lot, a lot of trouble pronouncing Ahmadinejad, and let me tell you why we’re all pronouncing it so well. Because Miss Goldberg, a couple of weeks ago said all you have to think of is Ahmadinejacket." So every time you say Ahmadinejacket-
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Well, I have to tell you.
BEHAR: Call him and tell him because he’s annoying.

December 5, 2007 - 17:10 ET by Trix Rabbit"comparing their former defense secretary to Hitler"
There is a law which I don't remember who said it, that says that an argument, whoever first compares a bete noire to Hitler loses. I have an addition to that, which I will call the "Trix Rabbit Corollary" which is this:
In an argument, whoever compares a bete noire to Mussolini is most likely correct. Why? Because he who chooses Mussolini - who is far, far down the list of most evil people ever, nowhere near the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot - for his comparison has done so with some thought.
Rumsfeld, for all this faults, is no Hitler. So keep your trap shut, Joy.
Mussolini on the other hand, was a buffoon, a wannabe tough guy, just like Huguito Chavez or Ahmadinejad. These guys are not what comes to mind when you think of "evil", they're what comes to mind when you think Alpha male baboon.

December 5, 2007 - 19:20 ET by Indiana JoeWasn't Jimmy Carter supposed to be a "nuclear engineer?" Yet he pronounced the word "newkewlar." As does Bush, in all fairness. And many others. But which is, ultimately, worse? Personally, I'd like a president who can pronounce the name of his profession correctly, at least.
All that aside, re-read the title of the thread. "Pot calling kettle black." That's kind of the point here. Glass houses and throwing stones, and all that.
Surely a sophisticate like Behar should be able to find something a little less nit-picky to rave about.

December 6, 2007 - 10:47 ET by JayTeeYa Know, it depends upon where you are standing in this Country, as to determine if you have a Speech problem.
I work with PHD's, Physics majors, and High IQ people all around me......from INDIA, and I understand Bush better than them. But stand these people and me up on another location on this planet, and I sound Funny.
Unfortunately for the View, they sound Stupid in 50 states, which is more than Bush can possibly Brag about. Bush is just misunderestimated.

December 5, 2007 - 17:44 ET by landshark...he "can not say [Iranian Leader] Ahmadinejad," and "he’s annoying because he can not."
This sounds like she actually tunes in to listen to the president. If he's so annoying, Joy, change the damn channel. Or are you too stupid to know how the remote works?
Memo to Joy: If you're annoyed by GWB, and yet you tune in to listen to him anyway, then don't whine about how annoyed you are by him.
The Skew?
December 5, 2007 - 17:45 ET by Santino CorleoneFirstly, Barbara Walters (and her alter-ego, Elmer Fudd) is the last person to talk about anyone's pronunciation. Secondly, who the hell is Joy Behar? Why is she on "the skew"? What is her claim to fame other than being a foam at the mouth liberal, eyesore?
When will they start putting hammers and sickels on the throw pillows? When will we see Babs in a Che Guevara shirt? When will this show just die???
Joy dear, your liberalism is showing
December 5, 2007 - 17:48 ET by candanceSo she can't criticize him for slamming Ahmadenijad because she's on record saying she doesn't like him either. But she needs a reason to make fun of Bush. Thus she resorts to a mispronounced word.
You can always tell when a liberal is trapped because they resort to attacking 1) physical appearance or 2) speech.
PS With as many time as I've heard Joy use incorrect grammar, get her facts wrong, or mispronounce a name, I doubt she's in any position to ridicule Bush.
