A nasty Joy Behar on Wednesday appeared on MSNBC's Last Word to attack conservative women such as Sarah Palin and Nikki Haley.

ABC’s DC Drama ‘Scandal’ Rabidly Anti-Conservative, Celebrates G

The debut episode centered on a murder case involving…

ABC Lectures Rick Santorum: Stop Wasting Your 'Political Capital' and
Good Morning America analyst Matt Dowd on Wednesday lectured Rick Santorum to "get out" and stop wasting "any little bit of political capital he has left." Depending on which count one looks at, Mitt Romney is currently 489 delegates short of the nomination.

Crude ABC: Ann Romney Zipper Comment Is 'Begging to Be Taken Out of Co
Good Morning America's John Berman on Tuesday again proved his ability to be crude, adding a zipper sound effect to a quote by Ann Romney.
