Sarah Palin is an airhead proclaims the very dim Joy Behar. The same "View" co-host who blames earthquakes on global warming and just the previous day could not define the term "suffrage," snidely said of Sarah Palin "we all know that the woman is an airhead." Behar then continued to label those Obama critics "unpatriotic" (this of course after she considered dissent in the Bush years "patriotic") [audio excerpt here]
Joy Behar’s comments were sparked by a discussion on recent "Newsweek" and "Time" covers comparing President-elect Obama to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt respectively. Elisabeth Hasselbeck felt it was premature to judge the Obama presidency before he is even inaugurated. Hasselbeck declared it was another example of the media "coddling" Barack Obama has they have done throughout the entire campaign.
The transcript follows.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: "The Washington Post" asks if the Obama legacy is being written before he even takes the oath of office. Now "Newsweek’s" cover pairs him with Lincoln. NBC News has a DVD titled "Yes We Can! The Barack Obama Story." "Time" magazine has him looking very much like FDR as I looked at Halloween.
[laughter]
JOY BEHAR: Right, you did.
GOLDBERG: Now, people are, are sort of upset about all of this.
BEHAR: Why?
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: I think they’re just saying, well- people are drawing a comparison, some think, a little too early. You know, when I think that with the DVD coming out, with the news, news, I mean, giant backing it, it makes you question are- and they’ve been questioning it throughout the election- are these news organizations and papers, et cetera, outlets, coddling Barack Obama? Are they- have they given him- if they’re coming out with these DVDs, did they have a vetted interest? And I think it just makes you question their take. And to say, oh you know, to make the draw between Obama and Lincoln right now, he hasn’t even stepped into office yet, is, some say, would say, presumptuous. And in terms of coddling we see, look, if Barack Obama the other day said he is as president-elect reading Lincoln to try to study up on what he, how he handled the country. You know, if Sarah Palin had said she was reading Lincoln, we’d say she was cramming. If Barack Obama does it, he’s a genius. Barack Obama says he wants to get Osama Bin Laden, he’s a hero.
BEHAR: Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. First of all, it’s creative visualization as far as I’m concerned.
HASSELBECK: I understand that I’m an artist.
BEHAR: Sarah Palin says- we all know that the woman is an airhead, so let’s not even go there, okay? [applause] This guy has a brain! And can I say another thing? I think it’s very unpatriotic for a lot of people to put him down already before the guy has even had a chance.

This opinion coming from
November 19, 2008 - 14:59 ET by bigtimerThis opinion coming from one the biggest leftist air-heads in the world.
....at least I got my laugh for the day so far.
Btw...this reminds me of when Clinton was running, won, even while he was in office...why he was always reading some very sophisticated book dontcha' know...he was the smartest man in th world, smartest politician, so was Hillary...now they have been replaced...why just ask Michael Beschloss presidential historian who said on Imus O's IQ is the highest of any President or some such...Imus asked him what his IQ was, he didn't know...this is a so-called historian folks.
...but heck, people like Joy aren't unpatriotic when they made fun, put down, chided with glee President Bush, who according to them didn't read ect ect...who has kept the likes of their pitiful arses safe through his term...but heck, little things like that matter not to twits like this ungrateful ignorant b!tch.

yeah, I'm laughing now with your post...this is one of the rare times here lately I bothered to read the whole thing myself, I usually can't get through them either...just cannot take these mindless twits most times to bother...
You know, it was late awhile back now, Joy was a guest on Larry Almost Alive King...I suffered through it for some nutty reason...she is absolutely one of the dumbest women I have ever heard....ever...what is sad, is to top it off, she is despicable, but her dumbness is like a reprieve to me in some ways...and King just let her go on adn on...with his yeah...uh-huh's...a fake chuckle or laugh or two..it really was pathetic...and these people get paid tons of $$$, but heck, look at what people look up to and vote for, and they don't even know why except for one word...CHANGE..when there is zilch for change...same old politicos, filthy ones at that getting in ....AGAIN...oh my how I've missed the Clinton slime machine, now we have his (O's) and hers to-boot.
Where is the outrage from the msm...eh?
Btw...here is some more info I found on Sweetness & Light yesterday...he has been far more involved in voter fraud from way back, and yet the msm kept looking the other way...lazy leftist ba$tard$ all...there is some video with this too.

Elisabeth needs to grow a spine
November 19, 2008 - 16:15 ET by moderncommentaries83I don't watch "The View", for obvious reasons (and mostly because I value my IQ), but from what I've seen, I'm less than impressed with Elisabeth's job.
As the conservative on the show, she has an obligation to grow a spine and challenge these idiots when they say and do stupid things. Of course, we might have to give her top billing, since she'll be talking so much in an effort to correct Behar et. al. every time they open their uninformed, unintelligent, bigoted mouths, but it'd be worth it.
I would not sit quietly and let them get away with the crap they pull - from ignorance about religion, to sufferage, to who is/isn't an "airhead" - I'd come in with both guns blazing.
They'd hate me, but at least I wouldn't look sheepish.

November 19, 2008 - 16:20 ET by bigtimermc83...
I'm with you, I've said so since the beginning of the blog posts/threads about The View from way back regarding Elizabeth...it drives me nuts.

November 19, 2008 - 15:14 ET by winston smithPalin is not the kettle, but Joy is definitely the pot. Seriously, I'd love to see Behar try to debate with Palin on politics or energy. Behar knows she'd get her head handed to her. She just wants to perpetuate the myth of Palin being an airhead ---- and Obama as political genius.

I'm sure the audience who clapped about the Palin airhead comment are Rhodes Scholars, every one. Palin is governor of Alaska and they can't even get off their couches most days.

Creative Visualization?
November 19, 2008 - 15:47 ET by legacyrepublicanCreative Visualization kinda sounds like the method Behar used to vet Obama for the last year.
She should take off her rose colored glasses!
BTW. It is sad to say that Al Qaida's latest audio message contains better vetting and analysis of Obama than the MSM too.

November 19, 2008 - 15:56 ET by littlemissmuffinIf Sarah Palin is an airhead, I want to be one, too. She has style, class, values, good character, morals, and intelligence. Who could ask for more?

Okay...first she just put Sarah down and never even gave her a chance. Then says how unpatriotic we are for doing what she did to Obama.
This woman obviously lacks a brain and common sense. She didn't listen to a word that Hasselback said...which was true.
Maybe politics isn't her best subject. Hmm, I wonder what her IQ score was.
The View is a prefect example of....
Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I was in the grocery store this afternoon and one of those Enquirer-type mags had the most HORRIBLE picture of Obama and Michelle, NASTY looks on both their faces, and on the other side of the page a very unflattering pic of Oprah and the headline was that Michelle was telling Oprah off because there was only room for ONE first lady in the white house. I kindof laughed mostly because it is the first obvious attempt to put up an unflattering picture of any of those three since he started running.

You don't think she meant "GW causes earthquakes".... well, that settles it for me... NOT.
Why is it that the MSM and liberals are always having to explain to us what liberals "really meant to say" every time they stick their foot in it.

November 20, 2008 - 02:58 ET by DoktorFrankenI cannot even read what that waste or oxygen has to say. How can anyone as offensive and as stupid as Joy Behar make money for what she says?

There is no balance to the Universe.

November 20, 2008 - 06:40 ET by MystapittElisabeth was not brought on this show as a "Republican" spokesperson. She was a contestant on Survivor and is a pretty face. She only began to show her political convictions during the Rosie era. You could have Laura Ingrahm on there and she would be outshouted 4 to 1. As I type that I would love to see that...Laura would be awesome.
