Coulter, Behar Spar Over Palin: On Joy's new show, still defending ex-gov and railing on Obama
Newser ^ | October 1, 2009 | Evann Gastaldo

Posted on 10/01/2009 7:06:07 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Joy Behar broke out the big guns for the premiere of her new CNN interview show: Ann Coulter. The two sparred over the so-called “death panels” and Sarah Palin’s level of coherence before finding common ground: The UN should be moved to Libya. Highlights:

* Sarah Palin “got audiences bigger than Obama,” Coulter said. “Well, she’s prettier,” Behar retorted. “She’s more coherent,” Coulter said, but Behar shut her down: “The woman cannot construct a sentence. Nobody understands what she’s talking about.”

* “The government was paying doctors to have the ‘end of life discussion’ with old people,” Coulter said. “If you’re paying doctors, you’re giving them incentive to have the chit-chat. Democrats were embarrassed enough that they pulled it from the bill—and all because of one little Twitter by Sarah Palin. That’s a powerful woman.”

* What about all those clothes Palin got during the campaign? “She never had them. She was wearing them on loan,” Coulter said, blaming the information leak on a jealous John McCain. Watch the video at left.

Giving these morons their own shows insures that very few people will see their idiotic diatribes.

I never understood the big deal about the clothes. The RNC spent 150K of private money on some clothes for her and her family to look good. In terms of the hundreds of millions spent on the campaign it was nothing. 0 taxpayer dollars. How much did the DNC spend on Obama’s “set” at Invesco Field?

In the 1st 24 hrs after her announcement McCain and the RNC raked in 7M+, a record amount by far. If they wanted to take 1/70 of that for some clothes, who cares?

Meanwhile, he’s spending upwards of 10M of taxpayer dollars to fly out and back to Denmark so his cronies in Chicago can rake in the cash. Who knows how much to go up to NY for date night? Etc...

I find her repulsive as well but I have to give her props for having Coulter on the show. Chickens**t Olbermann would never do such a thing.

It’s a good thing Behar and Coulter weren’t boxing. I’d demand my money back.
Coulter has the power to popeil Behar into to a gelatinous mass of crap. Why does she hold back?

Wasn’t the clothes issue dismisssed? Just shows that Behar does not even know what she’s talking about.

Don't make me laugh, the harpie sack invited Ann so somebody would watch, no courage involved.

I enjoy reading Ann Coulter's books & her weekly articles, but in all honesty she stinks as a conservative pundit when going head to head with liberal idiot commentators, whether it is Joy Behar, Matt Lauer, etc.

C'mon Ann, the quick retort to the ridiculous question above about Sarah Palin's clothes should NOT have been to deflect it over to John McCain (and I am not a McLame supporter by any means) but Ann should have used any of dozens of examples of 0bama screwing the American public with his $170M messiah-coronation, his $350,000 date nights with ugly maBelle Michelle, the Wednesday night WH cocktail parties with $100/lb Kobe beef flown it, AF 1 fly-bys over NYC, weekend jaunts EVERY weekend somewhere with his 3-500 person entourage, maBelle Michelle flying with her entourage to Denmark, followed by 0bozoe flying with his entourage to Denmark, what about maBelle Michelle's ugly wardrobe-who pays for that, etc, etc.

Instead Ann gets stupid & snarky instead of attacking quickly & with deadly accuracy the demoRATs hypocrisies. Michelle Maulkin or Laura Ingram & especially Megyn Kelly do a whole better than Ann Coulter when taking on the liberal idiot commentators.

Me either. It’s not like clothes she had from Alaska would work in the south in the summer when the temps in Alaska might reach 70Fº have these people no abilty to think on ther own?

I personally think CNN has lost it’s mind. While the coutry is clearly leaning conservative theyare going full speed ahead with the liberal rants whose audience shinks by the day? Makes no sense at all.

I have to mention a very neat reposte on the Joy Behar show. I had buttered up my liberal/socialist spouse and drew her attention to the show. I am able to tune stuff out, but I caught the name of our Sarah.

Joy Behar used the old saw when I believe the hostility of the press was brought up. Quoth Joy

If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

A charming lady who I believe is now a regular and I could not get her name then said:

Maybe she's givin' too much heat to those in the kitchen!

Joy did not bat an eyelid. Saw her with Bette Midler as a guest. Boy! Midler has a face that, in spite of what may be said about her, that is as smooth as a baby's behind.

Wonder how she does it? (laughs)

I believe the person who does Ms Middlers makeup is the same person who still does the work on Lenin.

I saw a picture of a frumpy hippy black woman wearing some hideous floral shorts..trotting herself across a lawn and I couldn’t figure out why freerepublic would be running this photo..it took a few minutes to realize this was our first “lady”. I swear it looked like she had just come from Sally Ann’s “dollar a bag” sale.

I see no reason that we the people pay for her staff. Since everyone else is cutting back on everything then so should 0 & his wife . She darn well ought to be ashamed & we ought to put an end to this nonsense. Why does she need such a huge staff? Let the Obama's pay for it out of their own pockets if she must have this staff.

Ann should have taken Old Mr. Hanalei’s advice, when the Brady boys asked about going on Behar’s show: “My grandfather said don’t go there. I never go!”

Any reasonable adult can see that Joy Behar, and women like her, act like jealous teenage girls whenever Sarah Palin's name is mentioned. Such puerile remarks, that one is almost compelled to feel embarrassed for her. There was a point though, when she put her head down and acknowledged how powerful Palin was. That was a glimpse of the real Joy Behar.

They know what's coming and they also know that when it arrives, it's going to turn their plastic world upside down and expose them for what they are.
