Does left wing "View" co-host Joy Behar owe her success to the king of talk radio, Rush Limbaugh? At the very least, he gave her "the best advice" she has ever recieved. On the January 31 episode of the women’s chat show, Behar discussed a very friendly encounter she had with Limbaugh and recounted his wisdom when he urged her to "be bold."
"I used to work on the same radio station with him. I always credit him with giving me the best advice. He said to me ‘Joy’- after I got fired- he said ‘whatever you do Joy, be bold.’ He gave me the best advice I ever got."

Behar first began by describing her encounter with Limbaugh where he allegedly "squeezed" her "to death," "snuggles and nuzzles" her neck. Her fellow panelists seemed surprised about the cordial meeting and kind words about one of America’s greatest conservative icons.
The transcript is below.
JOY BEHAR: So I go into the screening and I’m with Steve and I’m taking my coat off, you know, it’s very swanky. And all of a sudden this humongous person comes up to me from the left, a famous person, big guy, and snuggles and nuzzles my neck, "hello Joy," and gives me the big kiss. Guess who it was.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: Donald Trump.
BEHAR: And squeezed me to death also.
SHERRI SHEPHERD: Who was it?
BARBARA WALTERS: Donald Trump?
BEHAR: No, no, fat guy.
SHEPHERD: Oh.
BEHAR: Rush Limbaugh.
[laughter]
WALTERS: Rush Limbaugh and Joy Behar?
BEHAR: Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
HASSELBECK: Wait, Rush Limbaugh snacked on your neck last night?
SHEPHERD: That is the worst visual.
BEHAR: Neck sucking.
[laughter]
SHEPHERD: And it would have really been bad if you got turned on before you saw who it was.
BEHAR: When I saw him it was like "Rush!" I used to work on the same radio station with him. I always credit him with giving me the best advice. He said to me "Joy"- after I got fired- he said "whatever you do Joy, be bold." He gave me the best advice I ever got.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: And you’ve always taken it you bold little thing you.

George Bush needs to cop a feel off of Joy
Thu, 01/31/2008 - 13:22 ET by Lame CherrySee I told Newsbusters before that the reason Joy Behar hates George Bush is because Bush represents all the guys who ran away from Joy Behar and had morals.
Rush feels Joy Behar up and she swoons over him yet. All President Bush needs to do is appear on The View, send over a Secret Service Agent to nuzzle up Joy Behar and whisper in her ear saying, "That is from the President".
Instantly Behar will be for Iraq policy and telling the world that George Bush is the best President ever.
She just wants Bush to want her like she wants him.

Rush talked about this
Thu, 01/31/2008 - 15:57 ET by Gary P JacksonRush talked about this today, and ran audio of Regis Philbin, who was a witness, talking about it.
Rush descibed it as a "pre-emptive strike". But it happened pretty much the way Joy descibes it, without the sucking, that is!
She loved it.
Thu, 01/31/2008 - 14:52 ET by EvokeShe loved it.
Rush gave advice to Hillary
Thu, 01/31/2008 - 16:03 ET by Jack BauerRush also gave advice to Hillary Clinton too.
Similar... but a slight difference.
And you know what. She followed that advice, as well!
can i pose the question, who cares what she says
Thu, 01/31/2008 - 21:10 ET by lunaticcringeradiobecause it's obvious she doesn't think, she just babbles all her waking hours.
she's a cackling hen along with the rest of them on that pathetically anti male, american, and capitolism show. all i hear when a clip is played is cluck cluck cluck yip jab yip yip yip yip jab blah blah blah. you know she must just be a joy to live with too eeeeeeeehhhhhhh.
she's lucky that the only reason i know who she is is because of newsbusters not because i have ever spent 2 seconds of my life watching that show. oh and opie & anthony openly mock them from time to time too.
the pitty with text is you can't hear the disgust and contempt in my tone of voice that i have at even the mention of that joy removing bag of meat. could you imagine how miserible her husband must be, i'm sure he relishes every second she is gone away from just yak yak yakking in his ear. you just know she is a nagging old bag, complaining about everything and kicking him around like a whipped little dog. he must fantasize for her to have a catostrophic brain anerysim when he's in the shower. i've just seen two clips of her on you tube and i feel this way about her, so you know he just has to muster every once of restraint not to sneak up behind her as she's preattling on about something stooopid and end it all with a blunt object.

Hey, Joy ...Rush wasn't
Thu, 01/31/2008 - 22:03 ET by drillanwrHey, Joy ...
Rush wasn't looking for Bearhair nooky. He was giving you conservative cooties !!!!
Not quite.
Fri, 02/01/2008 - 06:15 ET by ArchConservativeActually he told her "whatever you are, Joy, your soul is COLD". Well she was flustered by being in the presence of greatness, so you have to cut her slack on messing up Rush's words.
You support the troops by supporting the mission! If you don't support the mission, have the guts to say you don't support the troops.
