Joy Behar expressed confusion about the success of Sarah Palin's book because, according to the CNN Headline News/ABC talk show host, a lot of the former governor's "base doesn't even read." Behar slammed Palin, as well as Glenn Beck, Carrie Prejean and other conservatives during her "look back at 2009" edition of the "Joy Behar Show" that re-aired over Christmas weekend.

An "esteemed" panel consisting of comedians Sandra Bernhard, Mo Rocca and Dave Attell joined Behar in mocking this year's prominent voices on the right.

There is no accounting for the stupid.

I am positive I read more than that wench behar. Positive. I even read history so I try my best not to repeat it.

Joy is projecting & can’t understand normal thinking

[max americana]

Coming from the “genius” who thought that the term BLACK Friday was racist’...

I think we can safely say Joy Behar has probably never has read the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.....

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Joy is also a snob and thinks she’s superior to Sarah.

[onyx]

She is proof that one can be equally ugly inside and out.

From someone who reads off cue cards written in crayon....

Typical arrogant, elitist remark.

Liberals think they are so intellectually superior to us when the reality is just the opposite.

It must be their own deep insecurities that drive comments like that.

Well, nobody ever read dems’ healthcare “reform” bill, but 100% dems voted fot it.

Joy Behar <————Jealous old hag.

The field of particle physics lost a giant when Joy Behar decided upon a career as a professional assclown.

The fact is - that I learned to read when I was 6 - so Pllllllghhhhhhhhh to Joy Behar! I can’t think of anything MORE unintelligent to say. What a ignorant comment to make. This goes a long way to illustrate the woman’s condescending elitist world view.

[prairiebreeze]

Nah, Behar’s just ticked that most of Palin’s base doesn’t listen to her or give a rip about what she thinks.

[AbeKrieger]

Substitute “Barack Obama” for “Sarah Palin” in this article, oh the howls of racism you’d hear....

Of course in that case it would be true.

[Las Vegas Ron]

The combined I.Q. of that entire panel wouldn’t even equal room temperature.

I've watched "The View" and Behar's HLN show several times. Although I obviously won't excuse her comments, which she can take too far, it's pretty clear she has admiration for Palin. I liken it to how kids act toward their crushes--they do everything they can to come off as if they hate the person when deep down they can't help but like the person. Behar frequently has Ann Coulter as a guest (they actually get along quite well) and they've had conversations where I think, it became clear Behar doesn't hate Palin as much as she is fascinated by her--in a positive way. She just covers it up. I wouldn't put her in the same category as the vicious haters who genuinely want to see Palin destroyed.

Of course in that case the accusations of “base doesn’t even read” would need to be corrected to “base can’t read” to be accurate
