Is environmental activism a mark of intelligence? Joy Behar seems to think so. The panel on the July 10 edition of "The View" discussed the vicious divorce case between model Christie Brinkley and husband Peter Cook. Joy Behar, who blamed earthquakes on global warming, countered charges the Brinkley is an "air head" by noting she is "very concerned and upset about the environment."

"You know, I have to say in her [Christie Brinkley’s] defense, she is one of these people that worry about nuclear reactors on Long Island. And she has gas masks that she was giving out to people in case of a terrorist attack. She’s very concerned and upset about the environment. So she’s not an air head and she’s not stupid. Just because she’s a model, you know, people think she’s an air head. She’s not."
