Anti-male sexism is certainly not new for "The View" as former co-host Rosie O’Donnell admitted to discriminating against men in her hiring practices. On the July 16 edition, the women of the show discussed Senator Hillary Clinton and her issues with her husband’s affairs. Joy Behar took up the mantle when she opined that the "woman is more culpable" in a man’s infidelities because "they think with Mr. Happy," "they’re idiots." It did not stop there as Joy said "they’re all weak in that area" and it is "one of the unfortunate truths about men."

After the sexist rant, Joy Behar tied Senator Clinton’s alleged ignorance of the former president’s affair with her vote for the Iraq War.

"We know [former President Clinton] is a hound dog but would he be that dumb and then, duh, as I said before, Mr. Happy. You know, that's the problem. The only thing that -- one more thing is I do feel that Hillary needs to deal psychologically with how much denial plays in her life because she also denied that, that she said that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."

Joy was too much for Barbara Walters as Walters who responded "it’s a different thing, Joy" and even joked that Behar would tie a rainy day with Iraq. Behar did not yield any ground as she asserted "there’s a connection here in terms of how a person’s mind works."

Relevant portions of the transcript are below.

JOY BEHAR: You know, Barbara, I was going to say, you want to forgive the husband. The woman is more culpable, in my opinion, because men, we know men -- they think with Mr. Happy, you know what I'm saying.

ELISABETH HASSELBECK: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. No, no, Joy. You're giving an excuse for men's infidelity. That's bull.

BEHAR: You know that song leave him alone he's a family man? Hall and Oates? That's a very interesting statement. A very interesting lyric. Leave him alone he's a family man . Okay, men they’re, they’re idiots. Let’s face it. The woman comes along and they get interested with their you know what.

HASSELBECK: So poor them. The little, the weak men who just can't help but think with their –

BEHAR: They’re all weak in that area. They’re all weak in that area.

BARBARA WALTERS: Wait. No crosstalk. Okay.

HASSELBECK: Honestly, you, to give, to give any person involved in that situation a break just because they happen to think with their genitalia rather than their mind is, is inexcusable.

BEHAR: One of the unfortunate truths about men.

HASSELBECK: Then they should be off the hook. You guys you’re all off the hook because we, we understand that you can't help but think-

BEHAR: They’re not off the hook. The fact that they are even using Mr. Happy to think means they are still on the hook.

[laughter]

SHERRI SHEPHERD: But, Elisabeth, --

HASSELBECK: I can't believe you are letting them off.

BEHAR: I’m not

[...]

BEHAR: We know he's a hound dog but would he be that dumb and then, duh, as I said before, Mr. Happy. You know, that's the problem. The only thing that -- one more thing is I do feel that Hillary needs to deal psychologically with how much denial plays in her life because she also denied that, that she said that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

WALTERS: Different thing, Joy.

HASSELBECK: Which she did say.

BEHAR: She agreed with Bush on that and I think that she didn't read the whole report even though the ones who read the whole report also voted for the war.

WALTERS: I said with Joy, if you get up in the morning and you say it’s going to rain today, Joy says, "well it isn't in Iraq."

BEHAR: But the point is there’s a connection here in terms of how a person’s mind works.

What about the woman?

What is the woman thinking with? In an extramarital affair there is (usually) a woman and a man involved. What is the woman thinking with? She has used it to decide that having an affair with a married man is a good idea.

I don't get the man bashing

I don't get the man bashing. It's not that a man thinks with his ... "mr happy", rather he logically processes the idea of: "wow, this woman is hot, my wife really isn't, and she wants to sleep with me... I'll do it!". I have never cheated nor will I, but I have to assume that is the logic and reasoning behind it. And for a woman to criticize a man for thinking with his d*** is absurd, since the majority of their thinking is based strictly on emotion and not on rationale.

Morals....? Who needs those?

It would be interesting to

It would be interesting to see what would happen if a pet name for a woman's sex organ was used and a man said women couldn't control it.

Of the people who I know who have been in unfaithful adult relationships it has been the woman more often. In teenage/college years it was the opposite. Maybe woman just get caught more or confess, I don't know, but I don't think there is as big of a difference as people think.

I am just surprised that Beha

I am just surprised that Behar actually said that Hillary has a lot of denial in her life!  Total surprise to me for sure... of course Bawbwa had to stand up for the comment about it being the same thing as the Iraq issue... funny how Rosie didn't get corrected though.  Maybe they had a thing going on.

If you don't stand behind our troops; please feel free to stand in front of them!

On The Line Up on FoxNews las

On The Line Up on FoxNews last night, the guest, "an investigative reporter", said Rosie O'Donnell's comments were getting close to being "hateful", which might negatively impact her career. I said, "sheesh"...

Behar is just angry because

Behar is just angry because everyone's "Mr. Happy" becomes a "Mr. Sad" whenever she's around.

That's hittin' the nail on th

That's hittin' the nail on the head, right there, ckc.  She's too ugly to get a man and her "girlfriend" left the show.

She ought to hook-up w/that fatass Michael Moore.  They could compare who has the bigger boobs or the smaller "Mr. Happy". 

Of course Joy thinks men are

Of course Joy thinks men are stupid, just listen to her; any man with a brain wouldn't get near her.  She's just telling the truth of her experience, any man whose been around her is stupid and thinking with Mr. Happy. (probally pretty drunk too)

Is it just me, or did Joy just give me permission to unzip my fly. . .at the drop of a hat?

Wow - an amazing admission

Wow - an amazing admission by Behar. I have to confess I only read the first paragraph when I first posted and I miss read it. After reading the rest of what she said, it's stunning that she is actually saying Bill Clinton lied to (by the fact that Hillary is also in denial about WMD). I have to at least give her credit for intellectual honesty about that. Most liberals wont' admit that. Most Republicans are intellectually honest about it because they don't think Clinton or Bush lied about it.

I can't believe she thinks that woman are more culpable if a man has an affair. That is so obsurd. I can't imagine Code Pink and NOW are with her on that one.
It's amazing that such stupid people have such a large influence over the public. Liberals are so sexist.

Memory lapses by Behar

Behar:  "The only thing that -- one more thing is I do feel that Hillary needs to deal psychologically with how much denial plays in her life because she also denied that, that she said that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."

Joy conveniently forgets that Saddam not only had weapons of mass destruction but used them.  She also forgets that the remaining stockpiles are still unaccounted for after more than a decade of UN inspections.  And she fails to remember that the truce at the end of the first Gulf War required Saddam to destroy his WMD's and provide proof, or turn the WMD's over for destruction, neither of which happened.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

This dumb bimbo who seriously does the double x chromosone gender an extreme disservice needs to be put out to pasture, and also I might add is in serious need of a b*tch slap.

Who is the most well known captive slave to Mr. Happy? B.J. Clinton, Who else, and Joy Bewhore just happen to be one of Slick Willie's biggest cheerleaders.

What is the deal with joy a

What is the deal with joy and Hall & Oates. This is the third time she has brought up this 20 year old song, "Family Man."

Maybe someone can send her their new record, "Maneater."

Please, don't do anything with that photo.  I want to submit it to the National Enquirer and get $10,000 as proof positive that the Yeti exists.

Now, this might sting just a little bit.....

}}----> Joy comes in the morning

When it suits her, Joy will complain about the unfairness between the sexes, and just as easily point out what she believes to be immutable laws of nature when it suits another argument.

Her diatribe against men's simple stimulus/response may really be the rantings of a woman often cheated upon.

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

Joy could truly use a little

Joy could truly use a little more Mr. Happy on the inside.  I'm wondering if there are any G's here who would take one for the team to show her what she's missing.  Would she even pass the "paper bag" test?

No, she fails that test and I'd prefer to keep both arms as well.
