Behar's Person-of-the-Year Nominee: 'A Hitler Type, Like Donald Rumsfeld'

December 18th, 2006 11:31 AM

It was such a cheap play to the left-wing peanut gallery that it doesn't even pay to be disgusted. Discussing the "Time" magazine person of the year choice on "The View" this morning, yenta-in-residence Joy Behar blurted out:

"You have to put like a Hitler type. Like you put Donald Rumsfeld there or something."


When some in the audience began to jeer, Behar broke into a huge, mock-surprised smile, as if to say "what's wrong with that?" It was just one more transparent stunt, a plea for attention and ratings. You might say that by posting this I've helped Behar achieve her ends. But what's a NewsBuster supposed to do?

UPDATE: AllahPundit at Hot Air has the video.
