George Bush on 'American Idol' Sends Rosie O'Donnell and Joy Behar Over the Deep End
NewsBusters ^ | 5/2/07 | Brent Baker

Posted on 05/03/2007 6:41:48 AM PDT by AT7Saluki

The brief taped appearance of the President and First Lady on Tuesday's American Idol, to thank the viewers who contributed $70 million the week before to the show's “Idol Gives Back” fundraising effort on behalf of children's health charities, enraged the ladies Wednesday on the ABC daytime show The View and led them into some unusually bizarre -- even for them -- claims. Rosie O'Donnell ridiculed Bush's charity endeavor by comparing it with money spent on Iraq (“$500 billion in Iraq, but he wants to thank America for the $70 billion,” really million) and linked the appearance to how “all of the pundits who are pro-Bush are on the Fox network.” But Joy Behar made O'Donnell look well-informed, by comparison, as she insisted that President Bush “has access to all the money that we pay taxes for. He is able to do whatever he wants to do with that money.” When Elisabeth Hasselbeck pointed out that Congress must approve spending and it is controlled by the opposition party, Behar remained undeterred by reality: “He could do it though, he could do it.”

I only post this because I weep for the audience of this show. To think that anyone would buy the complete ignorance spewed on the View on a daily basis ... ! (Behar-President Bush “has access to all the money that we pay taxes for. He is able to do whatever he wants to do with that money.”)

Hey Behar, I wish indeed it weren’t the rats in control of the budget.

“He could do it though, he could do it.”

Either she's really dumb, or she's hoping he'll misappropriate funds to give Congress a valid reason to impeach him. I'm tending towards the latter, since she probably doesn't know that him using funds against Congress' wishes is illegal.

LOL. The audience who follows these women actually believe such nonsense. Rosie and Behar get their info from liberal websites, apparently. We wonder why liberals are so removed from reality.

This is a clear example of what Mark Steyn wrote on Tuesday. "The quality of your argument is only important if you want to win by persuasion. But it’s irrelevant if you want to win by intimidation."

He was talking about islamists, but it is relevant to Liberals like Rosie and Behar as well.

These two women are classless. I am surprised either of them has gotten as far as they have; but sooner or later the fall will come.

I cannot believe the network even allows them to show how stupid they both are. I mean, it’s just glaringly stupid to anyone that has even a basic education.........

The MSM’s dedication to winning the White House for the Democrats has never been stronger. Nothing said in the major media can be believed-they’re blinded by their political objectives.

Can't blame Behar for not leaving the best gig of her career. She may be dumb, but she's not stupid. :')
