Liberal "View" co-host Joy Behar appeared on Thursday's edition of "Good Morning America" to promote her new children's book "SheetzuCacaPoopoo," an allegory for Barack Obama's rise to power. According to Behar, the illustrated tale the book is really about the new President. She explained to GMA co-anchor Robin Roberts, "The dog- Max is in trouble. They send him to obedience school, okay? When he's in obedience school is when he becomes Barack. He becomes a community organizer."
As a somewhat incredulous Roberts watched, Behar continued, "And he organizes the big dogs around the little dogs. 'Cause at first, the big dogs, also known as the Republicans, don't like him. See?" With no spoiler alerts, Behar concluded, "And so, he finds ways, pragmatically, to help the big dogs...And so, he becomes popular. And everybody loves each other. " [audio available here]
Describing the complex, layered themes in her book, Behar asserted, "It's all about pragmatism and change, and trying to find a solution in your situation, which is Barack Obama."
A partial transcript of the segment, which aired at 8:35 on March 19, follows:
ROBIN ROBERTS: Funny lady. Joy Behar, one of the fabulous co-hosts of "The View," is joining us this morning. She's here to talk about her brand-new book. Yes, Barbara said it.
JOY BEHAR: Barbara said it. Diane said it of the first book.
ROBERTS: SheetzuCacaPoopoo.
BEHAR: That's right.
ROBERTS: Thank you. It's "Max Goes to the Dogs." It's the follow-up to her New York Times best selling children's book. And don't be fooled, it has some grown up themes as well. We love it when you come by here.
BEHAR: Thank you. You have a lot of fun here.
ROBERTS: We do.
BEHAR: For this hour of the morning. I mean, I'm impressed.
ROBERTS: I know. If it was "Good Afternoon America," watch out. We'd really be awake.
BEHAR: Yeah.
ROBERTS: Tell us a little bit about this. Because, the first one was such a, such a big hit. I know the kids get a big kick out of saying the name.
BEHAR: The kids love to say SheetzuCacaPoopoo. Well, that was the key. But, the book is really about Barack Obama. Okay? Let me explain.
ROBERTS: Everyone is looking around.
BEHAR: The dog- Max is in trouble. They send him to obedience school, okay? When he's in obedience school is when he becomes Barack. He becomes a community organizer. And he organizes the big dogs around the little dogs. 'Cause at first, the big dogs, also known as the Republicans, don't like him. See? And so, he finds ways, pragmatically, to help the big dogs.
ROBERTS: Uh-huh.
BEHAR: They can reach itches for them. They can go underneath to get to spots. They can scare the cats away. And so, he becomes popular. And everybody loves each other.
ROBERTS: It's all about change.
BEHAR: It's all about pragmatism and change, and trying to find a solution in your situation, which is Barack Obama. Isn't that- How did I jump to that? Pretty good? That's- All because of SheetzuCacaPoopoo.
ROBERTS: Wow. Who would have thought that?
BEHAR: Who would have thought that?

Harmful to children?
March 19, 2009 - 10:39 ET by kufir77I would say that this book should be banned because of its ability to severely damage a child's mind, but any parent who would buy a Joy Behar book for their child in the first place has probably already damaged their child beyond repair.

I'm not sure how anyone can fawn over and worship a lying scumbag any more than this, but I'm sure Behar the Blowhard is busy coming up with a way. Also, just for laughs, the last on her list of things the "little dogs" can do that the "big dogs" can't: "They can scare the cats away."

Poor Joy.
March 19, 2009 - 11:57 ET by Mike BrattonWhen, exactly, did all the creativity go away?
I'm guessing it was around the time she signed up for the Obama cult. If we stage an intervention and counteract all that brainwashing, we can only hope that she'll snap out of it.

March 19, 2009 - 12:29 ET by iveseenitallBehar used to be a teacher on Long Island. The "profession" is replete with people like her. Is it any wonder why education in America is an abject failure. Really, can you imagine being a student in her class? No wonder why so many kids hate school. How sad.

March 19, 2009 - 12:27 ET by AJBSo I have a new book. Its about a washed-up hag who is bitter, full of hate and loathing, and has as much sense as a empty piggy bank. I'm going to call it Joyisfullofcrappola. Send orders to me please.

Logic?
March 19, 2009 - 12:38 ET by iveseenitallThink about how illogical Behar is. She writes a book which she says is about how Barry will bring people together. Then she makes the circuit and bashes republicans. Which is it, Joy? Do you want harmony or don't you? Me thinks you are confused, lady. Behar--ignorance and illogic personified.
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"
using shame as a tool
March 19, 2009 - 12:49 ET by katainkentbasically shaming people into the collective. Oldest trick in the book. And starting with children has been the at the top of their to-do list for about 20 yrs now. We have moved from "Give a Hoot , Don't Pollute", "Only you can prevent forest fires" and of course the wonderful Schoolhouse Rock series to what? THIS! Never mind the whole recycle/go green brainwashing.
Yesterdays hippie activists are our college professors, our school teachers, our news casters and our daytime TV talk show hosts. From the moment a child turns on a television or steps out of their parents house onto a school bus - they are fair game.
Hmmmm
March 19, 2009 - 12:34 ET by StarAZSheetzuCacaPoopoo.
Strangely, I find this a good description of our pres. I couldn't follow the rest, sorry (I am still sane).
Nice name, Joy...
March 19, 2009 - 12:54 ET by dborschjr68So,...the man you claim is your president is also known as:
Sheet=how an Arab would pronounce "sh*t"
CaCa=Spanish slang for "sh*t"
PooPoo=toddler dialect for "sh*t"
Nice.
Me? I just say, "Democratic controlled Congress", when I want to say "sh*t".
======================
To the MSM: It has been said that, "The pen is mightier than the sword". So I'll tell ya what- how's about you hold onto a pen and see if it stops me from slapping your face. I'm just sayin'...
Here's a story for ya, Joy..
March 19, 2009 - 12:35 ET by dborschjr68So there was this evil King who tried to tax his people beyond belief.
A bunch of fellas got together and decided "Poo-poo on the King, we want to govern ourselves and to hell with his taxes".
The King was furious and sent soldiers to stop the others who wanted the freedom to govern themselves, outside of and away from the King's rule.
Lottsa folks died. A lotta blood was spilt. And at the end, when the smoke cleared, a new nation was formed, far removed from the King and his rule.
And these freedom fellas wrote a document, a Constitution, that helped solidify their new government and give its citizens rights and privileges.
You know this story, right? Joy, does this sound familiar?
The reason I ask is because when it happens again, in your lifetime, I simply want you to understand that it will be YOUR king that shall be overthrown this time around.
And the freedom fellas will again return to the principles and values of the Constitution, and all dissenters will be rounded up and horse-whipped, and then sent to Cuba. (Okay, I added that part.)

Liberalism: Sounds So Good on Paper
March 19, 2009 - 18:51 ET by deerjerkydaveLiberalism: it sounds so good on paper, doesn't it? Especially in fairy tale children's books.
We are in serious trouble with this kind of thinking is in charge in Washington.
You must be kidding?
March 19, 2009 - 19:18 ET by awffp1890Is this for real? Proof positive liberals are twisted. I can't even come up with a decent post because this does not seem real to me.

What's even worse is that she was able to find a publisher AND people out there will actually pay for this! That sound you hear right now is Western Civilization crumbling just a little more.

When I think back
March 19, 2009 - 22:59 ET by DEVILDOCMOMabout the books which were the favorites of my son when he was young I think of GOODNIGHT MOON, PAT THE BUNNY, CURIOUS GEORGE, MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL, the Robert McClosky books including MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS, and Holling Clancy Holling's books ie PADDLE-TO-THE-SEA...some how "SheetzuCacaPoopoo" does not even begin to be on a list with these classics.
Oh how lovely...
March 19, 2009 - 23:37 ET by 555-5555Does Max also take all the food away from the hardworking other doggies and give it to the sleeping, lazy doggies too? Does he continually harp on their doggie world economy and crash it into the ground to promote his doggie community organizing grow the government agenda by hyping up a crisis? The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of spending other people's money.

Thank the lord above and pass the butter!
March 20, 2009 - 02:09 ET by JWFThere is one thing my children are missing and desperately need to learn yet I just can't get it through to their young tiny brains -
Pragmatism.
If you kids don't start being pragmatic RIGHT NOW, I will turn this car around!
"Daddy, I fell down and got a booboo" Well too bad, maybe you will be more pragmatic from now on.
No desert until your pragmatism starts to show!
Jimmy, quit hitting Marcy with that shovel and start showing some pragmatism.
Come on kids, Sesame Street is on and Elmo is teaching us all about pragmatism.
You will never amount to nothing in your entire life Billy. Know why? Ya got no pragmatism. That is why I am not paying for your college tuition.

SheetzuCacaPoopoo? What could she possibly been thinking (or smoking) by fashioning an excremental neologism from three "cutesy" words that already convey the idea very well on their own? She thinks she's being clever or something? And then, this dog called TripleFeces = Obama? Does she really think she's doing the One a favor by doing that?
