Instead of focusing on the vileness of Ed Schultz twice calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a "slut" on his radio show, ABC's The View co-hosts gabbed back and forth Thursday about co-host Joy Behar's catty use of the term for her colleagues.
Behar apparently calls her colleagues sluts on the ABC daytime show, and so the co-hosts chatted about the nature of her "insults" and compared them with Schultz's use of the term. The liberal talk show host and MSNBC anchor escaped their wrath for the most part, since they focused most of two minutes on Joy Behar and her salty language.
After a brief collective gasp when Schultz's comments played, Barbara Walters broke the silence by deflecting blame away from him. "I would like to say that Joy Behar, on this program, has called me a slut," the ABC co-host remarked to laughter.
After the panel traded barbs for a few moments, Walters again tried to ameliorate the situation for Schultz. "He has apologized," she noted. Shortly after that, co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck wondered if the liberal National Organization for Women had called Schultz out, to which the panel responded that they had.
Towards the end of the segment, the co-hosts finally got around to comparing Schultz's derisive use of the term with Joy Behar's more casual use of it to describe her colleagues. However, even then the co-hosts glossed over Schultz's acrid rant.
Sherri Shepherd defended Behar as using "slut" out of humor. "[Schultz] was angry," Behar added, before Shepherd asked "Aren't they colleagues? Aren't they both journalists?" about Schultz and Ingraham. That was the closest the panel came to holding Schultz's feet to the fire for his words.

Dennis Miller just had a rant on when NBC is going to cut it’s ties with b.s. like MSNBC(BS). If NBC had any sliver of credibility left at all, it’s slowly going away.

With the week off and all I’m sure he would love to hear from the fine folks at the Free Republic
(As in, like turkeys.)
Fixed it.
Accurate.
Laura Ingraham has a higher IQ than the sum total of the IQs of the women on this show.
For the skanks on The View, being called a slut is a compliment.
why did he shoot his dog? Did it live or prefer death to its current owner?
Joy has been a slut all her life and is proud of it.
It’s just hypocrisy on parade and we all know it.
