Not sure what to say..

[Mr. Jeeves]

Bleeping the entire program might be an improvement.

ABC = Atheist Broadcasting Corp.

I'm glad they bleeped it. Thanking Jesus, followed by a 4-letter adjective hardly shows a proper respect for His name.

I would have bet my right foot that Joy Behar was Jewish, and everybody would have to call me "stumpy".

If they got a hundred letters of complaint, that means every single one of the viewers was mad enough to write.

ABC sucks.

Behar noted, "The other day...I used the phrase 'thank you Jesus' because my diet was over..."

Behar's comment was totally inappropriate and so politically incorrect. Now, had she said 'thank you Allah' all would be fine, well, and dandy without any bleeping.

See, Allah and Islamic references are politically allowable, but references to Christianity are a definite no-no.

Thanks to the liberals, ACLU, and infiltrators who are bent on destroying our heritage and our Nation.

They could have bleeped the expletive.

Since some of us actually work during the day, I did not hear the comment. In fact, if I had the day off, I still have better thing to do than watch Barbara Whaa-Whaa.

But to my point - It would be interesting to hear how the host used the word Jesus. Was it in a manner that standards&practices thought was "in vein"? Or did it sound like she was actually thanking Jesus?

There's a big difference. Just like G*ddamn and God, damn If she was saying Jesus in place of a four letter word than it is appropriate to beep. She can't say "F*ck I sure am glad to be done with my diet." so she says "J*sus I sure am glad to be done with my diet."

and ABC is the network that will counterprogram Ozzy with the reality-based Anna Nicole Smith show this fall -

mabbe a Disney-Viacom boycott's not a bad idea afterall -

Reality-based and Anna Nicole is an oxymoron.

"...Behar responded, "Yeah, that's right. How come the black girl can say it and the white girl can't? I protest!" Behar, for the record, said she is a Roman Catholic: "Jesus and I are pals, okay? Get with the program!"..."

On several occasions this program has been playing in the background, and I've been too lazy to look for the remote to 'bleep' it.

There's not a genuine conservative in the lot, as far as I can see. Yes, some of them (Ms. Behar included) may occasionally attempt to pass as folksy, practical, hard-nosed conservative women (in a grimy sort of 'ridden hard and put away wet' sort of way) but they're every one a card carrying liberal at heart.

Having climbed in bed with the Devil as she has, it's disingenuous of her to feign such surprise that He's dirtied their sheets.

Yeah, what is the deal with bleeping "God" but not the "damn" on so many shows? I would think the expletive should be bleeped if they are going to bleep something.
