Behar's Bad Taste: 'Laura Looks Like She's Starting to Drink; She's Like Stoned'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

With Rosie O'Donnell on her way out of "The View," could Joy Behar be seeking to establish herself as the show's dominant voice of vulgarity?

Commenting on a videotape of President Bush doing an impromptu dance with a West African troupe on the occasion of Malaria Awareness Day, with the First Lady in attendance, Behar said the following:

THE VIEW CO-HOST JOY BEHAR: Laura looks like she's starting to drink. Did you see her? She's like stoned.

View video here.Note that while Mrs. Bush isn't visible in the clip shown here, the First Lady was indeed in attendance and Behar had obviously seen an extended clip of the event.

This wasn't Behar's only lapse of feminist solidarity -- or good taste -- on the show. Earlier, another panel member had mentioned that on "Dancing With the Stars," Paul McCartney's future ex-wife Heather Mills, who had a leg amputated after a car crash, had performed a back flip

BEHAR: With one leg, that's true. Did she leave little holes in the floor from the leg?
Can you imagine the outrage from the "differently-abled community" if a conservative had said such a thing?

Joy Behar: The View's new Queen Bee of Bad Taste? Is this what passes for witty repartee in Barbara Walters' book?

Imagine. Joy Behar commenting on the way someone else looks! Like she isn’t a prize pig.

If she wants to be the new Rosie, insulting a very gracious First Lady is the right way to go about it. She’ll slowly start to get people pissed at her, and soon she’ll be dumped.

LOL! Now all they need is a spider named Charlotte to spin a web on the set with the words “Some Pigs” in it!

I’ve never watched The View except for the occasional clip on the news, but aside from Elizabeth Hasselbeck, they all appear to be bow-wows to me.

I loved Elizabeth Hasselbeck on The Look for Less, she is a real cutie, and very nice, but I haven’t ever watched the View, either, I’ve just seen clips of it on news shows. I find it hard to believe Elizabeth submits herself to that, it’s not like she needs the money, or couldn’t get other work.

Another fat, ugly, over-the-hill comediene with delusions of relevance.

Yep.

I would rather be in a Saudi prison then watch Rosie, Joyless Blowhard and Baba Walters. They are truly uninteresting and unfunny.

Ms. Be-HO-ar is a vicious doctrinnaire leftist. Unlike her co-host Rosie O’Donnell, she has more than half a brain - not by much though.

Like O’Donnell, Behar suffers from lack of sophistication and every word that proceeds out of her mouth shows the lack thereof. Have never watched O’Donnell and won’t be viewing Behar. No available cure for these feminazis.

“No available cure for these feminazis.”

I can think of a few, but I’d be banned by the moderators.

Thanks for reminding me why I don’t watch the View.

Sounds to me like The VIEW needs more of a purge..than FR has been going through.

JOY BEHAR: Now that’s a woman that a burqa would improve her looks.

Since you brought up banning I would ban anyone who post anything on this POS show. We have better things to discuss here than cheap sewer talk from bottom feeding scums. And if that so-called conservative on that show needs this job that bad so be it but NO way would I subject & prostitute myself to breath the air from those maggots that are in that studio.

Whereas occasionally there is a worthwhile morsel to be gleaned from the morning news shows, I can testiy that The View is certifiably 100% worthless — well other than as a treasure trove for guys like me, that is ;-)
