With Rosie O'Donnell on her way out of "The View," could Joy Behar be seeking to establish herself as the show's dominant voice of vulgarity?Commenting on a videotape of President Bush doing an impromptu dance with a West African troupe on the occasion of Malaria Awareness Day, with the First Lady in attendance, Behar said the following:
THE VIEW CO-HOST JOY BEHAR: Laura looks like she's starting to drink. Did you see her? She's like stoned.
View video here.
Note that while Mrs. Bush isn't visible in the clip shown here, the First Lady was indeed in attendance at the malaria event and Behar had obviously viewed an extended clip.
This wasn't Behar's only lapse of feminist solidarity -- or good taste -- on the show. Earlier, another panel member had mentioned that on "Dancing With the Stars," Paul McCartney's future ex-wife Heather Mills, who had a leg amputated after a car crash, had performed a back flipBEHAR: With one leg, that's true. Did she leave little holes in the floor from the leg?Can you imagine the outrage from the "differently-abled community" if a conservative had said such a thing?
Joy Behar: The View's new Queen Bee of Bad Taste? Is this what passes for witty repartee in Barbara Walters' book?

know? Usually I'm there for memory problems.

I think I may have been wrong
April 26, 2007 - 16:43 ET by QueenMumI think I may have been wrong in my assessment of the target demographic for "The Pew". Behar's comments seem to be aimed at 12-year olds. Trying to compete with Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network, I guess. Even Rosie's exit from the show won't save this sorry excuse for "women's" programming.

April 26, 2007 - 20:55 ET by Del DolemonteYou'll love these comments from her, then!
If Rush Limbaugh said some of the things Ms. Behar said, you southpaws would have conniption fits. But since Joy has a "D" after her name, you'll give her a pass, I'm sure.
Some comments from the right wing reference source Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Behar
"Behar recently referred to the Bush administration as "liars and murderers". "
"Behar's political views have also drawn criticism. The Anti-Defamation League, in an open letter to Behar, admonished her description of then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld as "Hitler-like", noting that "Hitler's actions during the Second World War and his responsibility for the Holocaust have no parallel in history.The ADL described Behar's comparison as "inapporpriate and offensive" noting that Hitler's name should not be "taken out of context or used for personal attacks or vendettas."
"Behar has also drawn criticism more than once from the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. Catholic League president William A. Donohue remarked that Behar, who was raised a Roman Catholic, "is no stranger to Catholic bashing", pointed to her statement "Don't you remember when you went to Communion? In vino veritas. The priests were all drunk, don't you remember?"
"Behar again raised eyebrows when she publicly opined that Democratic Senator Tim Johnson's recent health problems were the result of a Republican Party conspiracy to retake control of the Senate. When conservative co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked why "everything from the liberal perspective" sees conspiracy, Behar responded "I know what that Party is capable of."
Can you honestly defend any of these statements of hers with a straight face? Of course you can. Let's hear it.

April 26, 2007 - 17:51 ET by goldenthroatI don't know who has gotten uglier on this show - The Mouth or Joyless - but it is very clear that they both suffer from 'hoof-in-mouth' disease! And I still haven't figured out what Elisabeth Hassselbeck is doing on this show - as far as defending any conservative causes, she is next to worthless. Is she that afraid of The Mouth or Joyless?
Never dance on an empty stomach unless it's a liberal!

April 26, 2007 - 18:11 ET by drillanwrI saw the video a couple times. As a "demure southern lady" Mrs. Bush looked a little out of her element, is all ... not drunk. Joy, on the other hand, suffers from terminal asinine-ness, for which there is no cure.

If you have bothered to read the site over the past months, you will find that NB has been quite critical of all the "panelists" on The View, to include the token conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

April 27, 2007 - 08:49 ET by QueenMumMontana Pussycat: I've seen Hasselbeck interviewed on her own. She is really quite intelligent and articulate. The liberal harpies on "The Pew" give her very little opportunity to state her case at any length. She's always cut off or talked over. Frankly, it's not a job I'd take - no matter how much they offered to pay me.
Hasselbeck's "role" on "The Pew" is that of a conservative pinata - all for the amusement of the left.
And as has been stated by others, the regular attenders at this site have generally given equal treatment to all the players at "The Pew" - including Hasselbeck.

April 27, 2007 - 08:19 ET by Roger the ShrubberActually, I believe the panning of Joy Behar has been pretty consistent on this website for quite a long time. Not exactly new ground being broken. But I forgot that "poking fun" is another exclusive right of the Left. At any rate, that is one department where you are sorely lacking. After all, the only word to describe someone who uses their own quote as their signature would be Douchebag. Wear that badge proudly, Douchie!
