Behar: Palin 'Wants to Be the Next Paris Hilton'; Reagan, Bush Were 'Mental Midgets'
NewsBusters ^ | October 20, 2009 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 10/20/2009 11:10:13 AM PDT by Rufus2007

If you have been a regular viewer of CNN Headline News' "The Joy Behar Show," you've probably seen the nightly cheap shots at conservatives, usually in the form of jabs at Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh.

But on Behar's Oct. 20 program, the HLN host used a panel discussion with liberal flamethrower/comedian Janeane Garofalo and S.E. Cupp, conservative author of "Why You're Wrong About the Right" to attack former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

"But [Palin's] favorability, popularity rates are going down," Behar said. "And is it possible her 15 minutes are up?"

"And is it possible her 15 minutes are up?"

Was this a rhetorical statement, Joy? Or merely a reflection of your own fame?

Joy Behar is just pissed that Sarah refuses to go on her show. Joy is such an angry, bitter, nasty sack of poo. I don’t know what has happened in her life but she has NO soul. I pity her, she is nothing but a waste of space

Paris Hilton gets paid tens of thousands to just SHOW up at a party.

How cool is that.

Who is the idiot? I know I have to WORK every day. Just showing up has me beat. And no one wants to see either Joy Behar or me have sex.

I’m in a quandry. If I watch the clip I have to watch Joy Blowhard. If I don’t watch the clip I don’t get to see S.E. What to do, what to do? Sorry S.E., I can’t stomach, “Joy.”

Mental midgets, LOL. Unlike the brilliant current president. No one has seen his grades or any of his writings from college, have they? With his vast breadth of experience, it gives us hooe that anyone can walk in off the street and be president!

Joy Behar is on the Obama payroll; her role is to trivialize Sarah by feeding the “celebrity” meme or “all Sarah wants is the money” meme that Levi Johnston purported in his Vanity Fair interview.

Of course Joy doesn’t provide any evidence of that except the book deal. So it’s all right for Lefty writers and politicians to make the money but conservative politicians don’t deserve the right to take advantage of the American dream. How ironic and how hypocritical!

Of all people, Behar should refrain from evalutating ANYBODY on mental capacity. People that live in glass houses should not throw stones.

So W is/was a “mental midget”? Here’s my take:

If George Bush was an idiot......

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word “advice” would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W.Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved.

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 8 months — so you’ll have three years and four months to come up with an answer.

the news channel “HLN” used to be called “CNN Headline News”. The “HLN” is supposed to stand for “Headline News”.

Does anyone know, did CNN spin off Headline News; is that why it’s not called “CNN Headline News” anymore?

Joy doesn’t get enough yakking done on “The View”, so she wanted her own show to yak some more.

Occasionally I turn on The View and I am amazed at how dumb those women are, then Elizabeth(Hannity’s soulmate) tries to defend republicans and it’s painful to watch. She is so dumb she breaks down crying because she doesnt understand Hannity’s brainless talking points and cannot even repeat them straight. (She is dumber than Hannity)

Makes me scared to think of the ‘female View’ viewers voting , like my divorced neighbor who even saw them live.

Coulter will be on Behar’s show this week. That can be even more fun.

In past I often wondered if a woman from that political spectrum might have a removable denture plate. With pistol grip ears that Joy has, I just don't want to know.

As I said, I wouldn't hit it. You wouldn't get the chance with mine. There just isn't enough drugs and liquor on this planet to make me want to do otherwise.

It is an article of faith among Lefties, that anybody who disagrees with you on ideological grounds does so because he’s too stupid to understand your arguments, is utterly evil, or both.
