The landscape of American daytime television was forever altered in 1997 when The View premiered on ABC. Comedian Joy Behar quickly won praise — and scorn — for her hilariously barbed comments at the show’s roundtable. “The success of The View is the same as news in a certain way because it’s happening in the moment because we’re live, most of the time, and everybody’s waiting to see what the next big thing is going to be, including the people who are sitting there,” Behar told Uinterview exclusively. “We don’t even know what we’re going to say.”

Born and raised in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, Behar started out as a high school teacher in Lindenhurst, N.Y. She began her career as a standup comic in the early 80s, eventually earning appearances on Good Morning America. In 1987, the Lifetime network gave Behar her own show Way Off Broadway, which lasted only a year.

But her role as a panelist on The View earned Behar, 66, her biggest following — especially around her political commentaries during the 2008 election. At one point she called Republican Vice President nominee Sarah Palin “dumb” and referred to her running-mate John McCain as the “Methuselah of Politics.” “I heard that afterward, Cindy McCain was at a luncheon, and she said we had picked their bones clean,” Behar told Uinterview. “Come on! You are running for the President of the United States. If you can’t stand up to Joy Behar, how are you going to stand up to Ahmadinejad? Or Vladimir Putin?”

Q: I’ve noticed your humor on The View can go right to the edge but never over the line. How do you tell the difference between funny and tasteless?

A: Today, I said something that I thought was over the edge. I called Sarah Palin dumb. Then, I corrected it because I don’t know that she’s really dumb, so I corrected it in the moment, and said she was politically not very astute because she made a joke about how old Joe Biden is when she is with Grandfather Time, the Methuselah of politics. He is the oldest person who has ever run for president. So she’s making a joke about Joe Biden when she’s running with an old guy. First of all it’s a bad joke, and she’s just politically not astute to realize she’s got the older guy with her… Yes, I go over the edge.

Q: What do you think is the funniest thing that’s happened in this year’s campaign?

A:  Oh, Karen. There were so many things that were funny on the campaign trail. Today, they showed a picture of Sarah Palin in Arizona, outdoors, prepping for the debate on Thursday. She’s outside in Arizona. I guess they picked that spot because you can see Mexico from Arizona. I mean, come on! You can’t write it. Even Tina Fey didn’t write that material last time she was on Saturday Night Live. All she did was say the exact thing that Sarah Palin said and it was funny. It’s like George Bush. Sometimes in my act, my stand-up act if I’m in the mood, I’ll bring out my Bushisms, the things that he has said. The low voter turn out is an indication of fewer people going to the polls; You can’t write it! He actually said that in one of his speeches. He said one time, I’m happy to shake the hand of a brave soldier who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein. Could I write that? No.

Q: Because your humor so frequently touches on politics do you ever worry about offending people? – Karen, New York City

A: Karen, I like you, you are asking me good questions, Karen. I never worry about offending people who disagree with me politically. Too bad. Apparently, I offended John and Cindy McCain when they were on the show because I asked him why he approved a message saying that Barack Obama said that you should teach sex to kindergartners. ‘You know those are not true. You know they are lies. Why would you say that you approved those messages?’ I heard that afterward, Cindy McCain was at a luncheon, and she said we had picked their bones clean. Come on! You are running for the President of the United States. If you can’t stand up to Joy Behar, how are you going to stand up to Ahmadinejad? Or Vladimir Putin?

Q: I have always thought The View was successful because it imitates what women really do when they’re sitting around at home together. What do you think the secret to The View’s success is? – Katie, Washington D.C.

A: I’m very glad that Katie Couric is asking questions, and you’re doing a great job! The success of The View is the same as news in a certain way because it’s happening in the moment because we’re live, most of the time, and everybody’s waiting to see what the next big thing is going to be, including the people who are sitting there. We don’t even know what we’re going to say. We’re not prepared really 100%. I mean I watch the news all the time so I have certain things in my mind that I wanna get to, but then it comes out crazy or politically incorrect. You just don’t know what’s going to happen. And then add to that the fact that you have people that are basically disagreeing with each other and you’re talking about two topics that nobody ever says you should talk about at a dinner party: politics and religion and those are the two things we love to talk about. So I think the success of the show has to do with being in the moment. In fact, not to get too tedious on this topic, I even like sports now for that reason. I got hooked on the Olympics this summer, mainly single Olympics [sports] though. I don’t like teams, I’m not crazy about teams. I hate football. Penetration in the end-zone is the most exciting part of football as far as I’m concerned. But I enjoy the gymnastics. I love that, to watch that little Nastia. Good name for her when she’s not winning. And I enjoy the fact that she could fall, or she might not fall, if she’s gonna hold herself up, her body is so erect that she’s so brilliant and I like that. It’s the same with The View. We don’t know if we’re gonna fall off the ledge.

Q: You’ve been substituting a lot for Larry King. How is doing that show different from doing The View? -Katie, Washington D.C.

A: When I’m sitting in for Larry King I’m more neutral than I am on The View. The Larry King job requires that I ask the Republicans and the Democrats or people who are pro-choice or not pro-choice questions and try and get to the truth of where they’re coming from. That is different than on The View because on The View it is my job to express what I think and it is skewed and it is prejudicial, I presume, and it's subjective. So that’s a completely different thing. When I’m a guest on Larry King, I’m back on The View because it’s me.

Q: What’s your favorite joke that you can tell on TV? What’s your favorite joke that you can’t tell on TV? – Micah, Boston

A: The only joke that I ever remember is: A guy goes up to Boston, gets into a taxi and he says to the driver, and only the people in Boston are gonna get this, Do you know where I can get scrod? And the driver says I’ve been in this business 25 years and I’ve never heard it asked for in the pluperfect subjunctive. That’s one joke. This is another one that I remember. A young, beautiful girl gets into an elevator with Donald Trump and she says to him, ‘I’m gonna give you a blow job all the way up to the 25th floor. And Donald Trump says to her, ‘Yeah but what’s in it for me?’

    I do not find that so called
    celebrities are doing any justice to our political system by backing one candidate or the other. Far too many people idolize movie and television people.
    And will follow any candidate
    that the person they are idolizing says to. Rather than going out and finding out about the candidate their
    selves. I do not believe that
    anyone has the right to call
    another person stupid. And as for the McCains feeling as though they had been treated unfairly on your program. Did any of you television folks ask Obama about his mentor and personel
    friend of 20 tears The Reverend Wright. If you only influenced one person I find that to be very unfair. To entertain and report the news without bias is talent.

    Hey, William – I believe everything you said. And I am Barack Obama's 2nd cousin twice removed, so I can insult him on a public message board too. Grow up. Also, let's see if Joy was so "Come on…you're running for President" when people complained that the press was after Obama. Oh wait, the Press wasn't ever after Obama.

    Joy Behar is just another Liberal shill posing as someone with ideas. On a show that supposedly deals with female perspectives, Joy, Whoopi, and Barbra steamrolled a WOMAN with more executive experience than the Obamessiah…and they love Bill Clinton who lost his license to practice law for sexually harassing several WOMEN working for him. Why are the questions to her such softballs? She should step up to the plate and answer a real question sometime.

    A helpful hint:
    If you have a norton product or any anti-virus software, that does not eradicate a virus or infection, but you are very certain your computer contains a virus or infection. Do this…..
    Put in the keywords AVG 8 download. This very good anti-virus software is absolutely free.
    On several occasions, when i knew my computer had a virus or severe infection….
    I would run my Norton product first. But my Norton product would not find anything.
    Then I would run my Norton product at the very same time I run AVG 8.
    You would not believe how effective AVG 8 is, over the Symantec product.
    What can you lose? AVG 8 has worked for me. If it does not work, simply delete it. If it does work, simply do not renew your norton product. Its that simple.

    Joy,
    Do you EVER shut your opinionated mouth? You appear to be a know-it-all that is NEVER wrong about anything. I used to watch the View in the early days, but for the past few years, I do NOT watch it because of you. You sound angry, you look angry, and I think you ARE always angry. Even your attempts at humor are always from a sarcastic stand point. For the life of me, I don't understand how "The View" has stayed on the air, but then there are lot of unhappy, sarcastic, critical, and bitter people in this world. Apparently, they are the ones who watch "The View."

The sad part about it, is….Whoppie is beginning to have a poppie mouth like Joy. I thought the View was bad before with Rosie on it, now I find it unbearable to watch. Joy….try looking in the mirror sometime, I promise you, you won’t like what you see. If you want to make fun of someone, start with yourself, because theres alot there to make fun off.

    Joy, thank you for speaking the truth. Never be afraid to stand up to frauds and expose their lies. Some Republican NEOCONS don’t like the truth. I see there are some judgemental people on here who are judging you
    and calling you names. They are the epitomie of rude and nasty. I am so glad you were able to face the Presidential candidates and ask them why their campaign ads tell lies. It is an honest and honorable thing to do. We can only hope that the polls are correct and that we will see a complete change from The failed Republican policies to a new party in office. If we are supposed to be bringing democracy to Iraq, then we really need to bring democracy back to America. Vote for Democracy, Vote Democrat, for the sake of our ecomomy, we need help, and only a change from Republican NEOCON to Democratic Democrats will work. Thank you All, and especially the brave, honest and kind hearted, JOY BEHAR.

    Joy is sublime. She is intelligent and very funny. I love the way that she does her homework.

Keep up the great work!

  • Joelle Telis

    Joy only thinks she’s funny, and her humor is at the expense of others. She is insulting, crass and crude, and I don’t care who they are interviewing on the show, if they lean to the right, she and the others throw them under the bus and it’s really a shame. Example: Cindy McCain. Did anyone happen to notice the educational background she has,and the things she has done for humanity around the world? This is exactly what is wrong with this country. It is “annihilate” at all costs. If you take the politics out of it, Joy “loud
    mouth” Behar could not hold a
    candle to Cindy McCain when it comes to education, humanitarian efforts throughout the world, and the respect and dignity she gives to all. It’s too bad that there is such little respect left in this world for each other. Difference of opinion is good, but trashing makes us, as Americans on the world stage, look like nothing but
    low class citizens. It’s no wonder we are not respected on the world stage. Look at what folks like Behar are doing to poor Joe the plumber…..

    Joy, I watch with interest and appreciation each day your political comments on The View and I am wondering, have I missed the eposide where you might have brought up The Alaska Independence Party (AIP), which Todd Palin was a member of for years and Sarah Palin spoke at several of their conventions even as late as last March (2008) or maybe this hasn’t been discussed. This party who wants to secede from The United States and whose motto is, “Alaska First-Alaska Always” so I guess the McCain “Country First” wouldn’t include Alaska? Anyway there is alot of infomation out there regarding the Palin’s association with this fringe group and I think this would make a good topic for Elisabeth to argue since she can’t seem to find anything wrong with the McPain ticket. Maybe you could Google The Alaska Independence Party, you may be surprised at the information and the Palin’s involvement. Perhaps this is Sarah’s idea of pro-America, to secede from the United States? There is an excellent article dated September 9, 2008 from CBS News and another from the LA Times dated September 9 that provide a frightening look into the party. Thank you for taking the time to read this. pjg

    Joy is not funny in the least. After seeing how all the view members (except Elisabeth) treated the McCains versus how they treated Obama’s is shameful. Good god women, have some respect for the office of Senator. You are one sided liberal loonies who can not see both sides of the issues.
    Never to watch the view again, except to write the advertisers of your very partial show. YOU SUCK!!!

    Some of these comments really rub me the wrong way. It seems like all of you who have issues with Joy are McCain-Palin supporters, and I dont understand how anyone in their right mind could support such racists, unless you are one as well.

    Its funny how some Pro-life conservatives are some of the most hateful people around. That’s a shame! And also disgusting!

    Joy you never cease to amaze me on your knowledge of politics and somehow in your humour you mesh your views. I am just amazed of the mcain palin teams tone of election and how vicious and angry they sound. I have seen other countries have female candidates for office, what seems to the common factor is either they are very educated…liberia or they have a verifiable background politically..germany. In the no one country in the world john mcain goes and picks a first time governor from alaska to be a potential no. 2 in the USA. The american people need to reject this .

    You go Joy!!! You are a great American. Thanks for all you do to bring the right-wing nuts back down to earth. Speaking of which, John McCain said in Oct 2000 to a Univ of Michigan student that “when you reach a certain level of comfort, there is nothing wrong with paying somewhat more” exact quote! And they want to say that Obama’s tax plan is socialist? McCain feels the same way

  • Rima

    C McCain said that you “picked their bones clean?” Well alright – I guess is what she is saying is the flesh of their rhetoric has been exposed and now it’s down to the bone. This sounds like the words of the beleagured, not of those replete in the wisdom of their own philosphy/performance.

  • Ashley Hall

    You are absolutely amazing Joy!!!! I agree with you 100%. in a nutshell, Sarah Palin is a dumb! McCain and Palin are perfect to be together running in an election. They both are hurting their campaign because of the stupid things Palin says and The messages McCain approves. I know that Obama is going to win the election because he is a humble man and he is all for change. McCain on the other hand is basically about making the cost of living harder for those of us who cannot afford it. Another thing about McCain is that during the debate, he was getting so worked up and angry and it was scary! who will want someone like that to be our President? Obama smiled and kept his cool. That’s someone who I would love to be my President. Vote Obama! Time for change!

    In re: Carole in Colorado; Why should Joy or anyone else have respect for the office ofsenator when the malority of our senators have no respect for the office either. As a lifetime (78) liberal it amazes me that Obama,Biden and McCain are not under indictment fo aiding and abetting a criminal act. All three voted to give our social securiy benefits to “ILLEGAL” immigrants. Of course, they keep themelves out of the social security program. Thomas Jefferson was right when he said “that every 200 years the tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots”.

    Joy,you are rude and obnoxious. Calling Senator McCain grandfather time and Methuselah, Joy, you must be Mrs Methuselah and Barbara Walters grandmother Methuselah. You said he is the oldest person to run for president. So,what is that got to do with him being a good president? Nothing… Also, you owe Senator McCain a apology for calling him a liar when he was on the view. Obama did vote to teach sex education to kindergartners.The curriculum is called Siecus.I read it and it is definitely not appropriate for kindergartners.When you ask someone to be on your show treat that person with respect,or don’t ask them on as a guest.

    It is refreshing that someone just speaks her mind. If you are offended by what she says, do the research yourself, find out the truth and run it through the truthiness filter.
    America needs to stop worrying about hurting someone’s feelings and start getting down to the cold hard facts. Or as the movie star would say “You can’t handle the facts!” This goes for both sides. Do your homework, come up with your own opinion and stand by it. These politicians are suppose to have strong shoulders and they should be able to take it when they dish it out. Joy is just being American! She is using her freedom of speech and John McCain and Cindy McCain can take it. Just as Obama… bring it on as one previous decider has said.

    Why are so many liberal democrats so rude, closed-minded, and easily led by their own party’s psychology on them? They follow like sheep and don’t realize their own party leaders use them. They tell them to vote early before the voting machines have problems….they want the votes in early before they can change their minds by hearing–if they weren’t told not to listen to–the Republicans words. Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth. More times, democrat leaders don’t want the democrat people to know the truth.

    Joy Behar’s constant botox injections have seeped through to her supposed “brain”. She’s a washed-up, has been who never actually was. Joy Behar calling anyone dumb is the equivalent of an elephant calling a rhino overweight. Speaking of overweight – Joy – one word – turtleneck!

    Joy is on a channel that you can chose to watch or not. Sarah Palin was running for an office that may have put her in line to lead this nation and that is not a choice that the majority of this intellegent voter base was willing to risk. Joy tells a joke, Sarah Palin was the joke.

But Joy and Whoopi are why I watch the View too. I like Sherry too but Blondie needs to come down from her tower and confront real life, so naieve.

You along with the greater majority of liberals will soon find out the truth too…….Your awful on the show. You have done more to discredit America as one person, than anyone else. Your liberal distorted views of Pres. Bush are way out of line, think of a recent President who has had to deal with so many disasters, Clinton? Forget it…..he’s a cigar suckin joke.

    Joy is great!. Yeah, she’s funny, but better still she’s incredibly smart. Lola… you seem to be confused… there’s a difference between handling disasters and creating them. Bush created as many disasters as he was handed–and he was a disaster at handling those, too!And I’m still trying to figure out what Elizabeth H. brings to the view besides spouting the GOP party line? What has she ever done besides not win a reality show on TV?

    The US would be a lot worse without Joy … although it could well do without the twit to her far left [shouldn’t E.H. be on the far,far right … maybe far enough so she’s off set ! Joy is intelligent, obviously well-read and concerned, quick, and incisive. If Al Frankin can do it, why not Joy. Her guest shouts on Larry king make that show enjoyable, which it generally is not. When the opportunity comes along I would vote for a ticket of Joy and Rachael Maddow or Rachael and Joy or either of them for the House or the Senate … Insofar as “Iola”, “thelma”x2 are concerned, obviously they are either southern rednecks or the equivalent -and you were absolutely right about E.H.; she is ignorant. The question posed to John [and he was only 2 years ahead of me at Canoe U.] was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON and Joy was the only one to put him up against the wall for it ! PRICELESS !

    I thank Joy for always being honest with a comedic flair about her opinion which is just that, her opinion, not neccesarily the fact. People hear a talk show celebrity or comedian speak and take their words as fact or the thoughts of everybody else on the planet. It’s fine if no one agrees with what Joy says but that’s the beauty of democracy and free speech. So get over it if you get offended for Sarah or if Sarah herself is offended. Imagine what the citizens of America and the rest of the world may be saying who are not paid by the media corporations. What can you do about that? Nothing.

Whereas, Sarah Palin was a mayor and Governor of Alaska!! She is far more qualified than Obama!!!

    All of you people attacking J.b.for being negative about that Palin dame, get a grip. She is entitled to her opinion, and should not be subject to cheap personal attacks by people who actually think Palin has something to say. All of the low-rent criticisms she threw around during to campaign: “the real parts of America”, “palling around with terrorists” etc. only point to a willingness to read anything that is put in front of her. Do really think she came up with this crap on her-limited-own? As Chris Hitchens said she is “deceitful” and “preposterous” and America will really signal its’ decline if we actually allow this bimbo to become POTUS!

    I hope Joy gets her own show. Maybe if Larry King ever retires she’ll get that spot. I only started watching King because I heard she was hosting it.

    She’s hosting again tonight so I can’t wait to tune in.

    She’s above The View & one day I hope to hear her let loose with all the truth behind that despicable EH, who’s a sad excuse for a human being.

    To think Elisabeth has children & is that dumb. She can’t be just ignorant because ignorant can learn and she’s heard all facts but remains spewing talking points for the corrupt.

    She doesn’t seem evil & lying on purpose so I’ve come to the conclusion she has to be really dumb.

    I hope Joy someday backs this up as truth.

    Or not!

    She cannot even discuss a point coherently and add to the conversation or hear any other side; ex. the comment of Obama Branding the Office of President-Elect. Whoopi was right on. And I think that if Obama did not do use that sign then the R-wingers would accuse him of acting like he was already president. They just take what ever is and turn it inside out.

    Thank you for this opportunity to comment. I am so appalled with us here in America. I can stand back and see how one sided we have been in this campaign. We need to get very serious in this country. We disrespect each other, women and children. I think all of those women on the view need to clean up their act. Joy’s language does NOT reflect a mature woman. And those woman of age (Barbara,Whoopi & Joy) should be examples for Sherry and Elizabeth; especially Sherry. I believe she is the younger of the two. I watch The View to see the bias so that I can practice more objectivity and subjectivity. Often I am very ashamed about what I hear from them on this show. I voted for Hillary because after studying all of the Democratic contenders she was the BEST candidate. I am a soldier that respects the Office of The President of The US however, I can see the biases. It is my prayer that we will learn to respect each other in America. I saw so much DIVISION among families and friends during this election. It really made me sad. Also, in my study of Black History we have several presidents from the past that has mixed parentage. One has a Ethiopian mother. The Bible tells us to pray for our leaders in Government so, I am praying for for America and President-Elect Obama that he will be able to lead this country with the help of those SKILLED people from previous Clinton Cabinet and Senator Clinton. God Bless you and God Bless the country that I served in this Iraqi war (America). Happy New Year!!!

    Re comment by Rosa, Sarah Palin is an airhead! She may be governor of the largest state – however, as of 2006 there were only 1,000,000 people living there! It’s the amount of people you govern, not area of state! In addition, Sarah Palin is too hungry, she had no right to accept the offer to run for v.p. as she was definitely not qualified! She is a religious fanatic and seems to use her children as props! Her voice offended me and when she was on I had to change the chanel. Joy was perfectly right!

    I think you’ve been around long enough to nail most issues right on. You’ve seen alot of people who should’ve had more presence & better, smarter answers really hang themselves, even John Kerry, Danny DeVito, Rosie O’Donnell, for example. Sarah Palin has not properly prepared herself to be a thinker or speaker. She’s not a breath of fresh air, unless she’s running to become a HOSPITAL VOLUNTEER. McCain owes his party an apology and you owe apologies to no one for speaking truth to power. I don’t watch your show because Elisabeth is a sulky drama queen and not any kind of entertaining, but you & Whoopie are great. Thanks.

    Well, I am a conservative. I can’t stand E.H. on The View and George Bush deserves every joke and insult hurled at him! And if the McCains were offended by a legiti-mate question that he SHOULD have answered, then maybe Joy should have asked him why he left his disabled first wife because he didn’t like the way she looked after her accident when he returned from being a POW. Something he also caused because he was grandstanding and crashed his jet. Wanna bet he would have really blown a gasket at being asked to tell the truth for once. Maybe she could have asked Cindy about her thievery…do ya think Cindy would have been offended at being asked about something she really did do…aside from getting it on with her husband while he was still married to another woman, that is. By the way, gpaul, E.H. always shows her ignorant partisan bias on that show. How come you don’t have a problem with THAT!?

For one thing, she’s only been govenor for barely two years, she clearly showed herself to be a narrow-minded small-town person who didn’t really have any new ideas to bring to the table other than the Republican party line. Thank God voters had enough sense to see that she didn’t have enough experience to handle the job of V.P. She was actually arrogant enough to think that nobody would see through her aw-shucks-I’m just-a-regular-small-town-hockey-mom act she was trying to get over on the public with—apparently she fooled a lot of people simply because she’s got the title “govenor” in front of her name. Get real–that idiot Bush didn’t have a lot of exp. either, and look where the hell that got this country—straight down the damn drain! Honestly, anybody who thinks Palin was qualified to take office is just as arrogant and delusional as she is!

Rosie O’Donnell is the one that introduced the politics to the show and up till then, Joy pretty much added the comedy but not her politics. I watched with much pleasure when the McCain’s were on, I couldn’t believe that finally someone was asking the questions that everybody wanted to ask. She is my hero. She is so spot on about that farce of a candidate Palin. McCain needed to be excoriated for that choice and Joy did the job. EXCELLENT WORK JOY. LOVE YOU.

Wish she would leave as she is far above you. Your very one sided, and most people dislike you rather your aware of that or not. Your actions with McCain’s was pure hateful- disrespectful period. Who are you to act the way you do- sure not a respected Senator. I for one do not like one single thing about you and your friend Barb, as gotten pretty low on the score card also. Wish you would do us all a favor and leave the show and go back to stand-up- you show no respect for Pres. Bush o anyone. You should at least respect the office- just like a Judge- don’t have to like him but you do show respect for the court- your just plain sick!

    Love Joy. Watch The View mainly for Joy. Whoopi is great too, but not as gutsy (I initially thought Whoopi would date be more controversial) and Sherri is funny as well. Barbra is flaky but cultured, albeit frail, and Elizabeth has a lot of maturing to do and THINKS she knows it all.
    Love Joy’s lack of bigotry, her defense of Science and exposure of how religion is a pack of lies and her open attitude to people who are different. At the same time, I love how she has strong morals and a very deep common sense (remember how she denounced Miley Cirrus’ pose with her Dad as a bit too strange for a father and daughter). Go Joy! She and Bill Maher are the 2 people I would most love to have dinner with! You can also see how both Bill and Larry King like Joy, it is quite obvious.

Oh I see, this is the ole double standard, the I’m right and your dumb argument! And by the way, if it all goes south your polarization of wishy washy anything goes I’m smart your dumb comments will just come back to haunt. Women are killing their future, especially in politics.

    I was so glad we had Joy on the View and that was NOT afraid of the truth. I cheered when she asked McCain about some of his sleazy campaign rhetoric. He sure couldn’t answer that! Now he’s even saying Palin isn’t a good choice to run in 2012! So that was a sham, too! At least the “maverick” is back – it was appalling when he was campaigning that he would taint the election and try to win at any cost. The cost was the respect of the American people.

    What the “real danger” to our society is the fighting that remains and the division of our country between red and blue. This is EXACTLY the platform Obama won on – unity. I personally believe “country first” means a united country behind our newly elected President-Elect. We could argue all day who’s responsible for the mess we’re in, I think it’s more productive to put our energy towards solving the problems.

Good grief, Katie Couric didn’t even try to correct Biden and his comment saying that Roosevelt came on TV in 1929 after the market crash.

    Will Joy and the others be honest and admit that this was the wrong thing to do and a big mistake for Mr. Obama?

    It’s no wonder that a reported 27% of the Gay
    Community gave up on Mr. Obama prior to the election and voted Republican!

You, like most other detractors of either candidate/Party would be much better off spending your time in a library, contemplating all possible meanings of the phrases, “Silence is golden.” and “Reading drives out lower tastes.” Face it, Joy Behar is a very liberal TV personality, and her commentary will, almost without fail, lean to the Left. We all know this, and some of us (as is our right) grow weary of it. Much like Ann Coulter starts to sound intolerably whiny after a short while, I tire of the fact that neither of these two ladies seem to want to let opportunities to be snitty charitably pass them by. In only trivially related news, Behar is a 2nd rate entertainer IMHO, and though quite charming, I think Howard Stern probably demonstrated via the skit “Crack Ho View” that virtually ANY 4 women can be as entertaining as those harpie/egotist/primadonna/activists on The View.

  • ky

    Oh, Brian. You disappoint me. Your argument started out angry and mean – and stayed that way.

    My point, which you overlooked, was that I am active in my state, and that I’m not completely illiterate. I wouldn’t run for office because I’m not qualified, and Sarah Palin should have thought the same, but something got in the way of cognitive thought in her case – something called hubris.

    Are you aware of Palin’s educational background? Are you aware of the size of the town she governed before she was elected to her current office? Are you familiar with Alaskan politics? And are you aware of the number of scandals she has been a part of since she took office? All of these issues lead me to my negative opinion of Palin, and I’m not alone in this state. She no longer enjoys the “80% positive” opinion from her constituency touted during her introduction to national politics. Certain “inaccuracies” have been exposed on the state level, and people recognize now that she is an opportunist whose ego propels her, not the Holy Spirit as she likes to claim, to heights for which she is obviously unqualified.

    Please note: Nowhere in my response have I insulted you, your place of residence, nor your sex or age.

    Dearest KY, Seriously, where to start? It was never my intention to disappoint you, nor would I have you mistake incredulous for angry, nor logical for mean. Sometimes the truth hurts, but this is no reason to patronize the messenger. Your point, which I did not overlook, is that you are nominally involved in Alaska politics, but necessarily were far more devoted to Business than Poly Sci … nobody achieves the results in a small/mid-sized business that you did while traipsing from political event to steering committee meeting to advisory board meeting. In other words, you haven’t logged the hours in politics to call anyone an idiot; especially someone of a higher station than you. It is of course noteworthy that while Wasilla is quite small, you still didn’t even run for Mayor of Buffalo Soapstone … a town roughly 1/10th the size of Wasilla. Seriously? You aren’t qualified to run for local politics, and thus take the lead for a change (ILO heckling from the sidelines)? Why did you retire so young if not for some higher purpose? How then are you qualified to call your Governor and idiot? Are you an educator? Perhaps you designed a long-distance IQ test? Wait, I know … you just don’t like her (insofar as you know her, see my comments about TN-Waltz … I don’t know those people, I just live here)! You don’t like her, and “idiot” is your idea of compelling commentary! Bravo! This is also not an insult, btw. Sort of like libel, you can’t insult with the truth.

    Of course it’s your right to harshly criticize public servants. Invective, ad hominum attacks, actual libelous slander is allowed because they’re “public property” once they enter the limelight … exercising this right however is bound to draw some negative attention your way. For instance, Palin is about as well-educated as your average elementary school teacher. I don’t like this, because I find her education lacking in some important areas, but the sad fact of the matter is I would say the same of a lot of teachers as well. Now, imagine saying in public that, “Mrs. Crabapple, my son’s 3rd grade teacher, is an IDIOT! … She keeps her brains in her toenail!” Number one, this also would be terribly judgmental and generally bad form, plus secondly, it is highly-highly likely to be patently untrue. See commentary at end for further.

    Competent people still do stupid things. I consider your reducing a serious national political figure (i.e. not the likes of Gary Coleman or the porn star who ran in CA), and to wit, your own Chief Executive, to the term and station of “idiot” to be a good example of just that. If you will continue to doggedly defend not only your right to do so (ok, I concede that one, though not what the spirit of the 1st Amendment is all about), but the (I think unsupported) claim of “idiot” to boot, then I must continue to exercise my prerogative in calling you out. It’s unimaginative, it’s unsupported/unsubstantiated, it’s a non-contributor to any serious discussion, and it’s basically content-free invective which would rightly be disallowed in any serious conversation or debate on the topic of Gov. Palin. In other words, this sentiment, now staunchly thrice-defended, prevents me from taking you seriously. This is not mean, this is not manufactured bravado backed by half a continent’s distance and the anonymity of the web. I would formulate this same reply in person, and say this same thing politely to your face, and then likely avoid you. Name-calling and ad hominum attacks are sort of like playing poker with an 8-year-old. There is no logic, the rules change, the boundaries move, and at the end of the game, you know the whole point was for the 8-yo to win … so fine, you win. Palin’s an idiot.

Your show is a travisty, what a waste of air time. As for Barbara Walters – you really sunk to an all time low associated with the View. Don’t watch the specials any more either.

    Surely you jest when you say she does nt c’ross the line. I find her mean-spirited and ugly to the extreme and much like O’Donnell was in her offensiveness. The difference, unfortunately, is Behar is brighter than O ‘Donnell. Behar also has no respect for anyone who does conform to her ideas and uses her”wit” to eviscerate those persons. I frankly have stopped watching The View because of her. I find her distasteful.

    It’s unfortunate that the View continually supports and promotes someone as spiritually ugly as Bejar. She is a comedian (Not a very good one) not journalist. So to give her words any credence is a waste of breath. She is a hypocrite and does not emulate true tolerance. The View needs to change the way it “Sees” things and exhibit a real respect for all points of view.

If her brains were dynamite, she wouldn’t have enough to blow her nose. I’ve never heard more drivel and thoughtless crap with the outright intent to insult and do harm from anyone else.

    Gail, take a chill pill. Majority wins – whether it was wrong – it is too early to tell. Couric’s question was a simple one. It should have been considered an ice breaker.

    Josh, how do you know that Sarah Palin and the rest of her family are illiterate? Has it been your job to give them all reading tests? Making a statement like that makes you sound no more intelligent than you claim Sarah Palin to be. Had I been being interviewed by Katie Couric because I was running for Vice-President I would have been a bit surprised at being asked what I was reading. I would have expected the same questions that were asked of the other candidates when Couric interviewed them. I don’t recall her asking the other three people running what they were reading. What relevance would what I was reading have on my how well I did my job? Does what you read effect how you do your job?
    The press is liberal, everyone knows that, and they were after Sarah Palin from day one. I only wish they had been as aggressive with Barack Obama when he refused to answer questions they asked him because it was something he didn’t want to talk about. Maybe we would know a little about him had they pushed him for answers.

  • josh

    Jan it wasn’t my job to give Palin reading tests. During the debate, Palin did not directly answer the questions asked of her, which indicated to me that Palin was “marked by a lack of acquaitance with the fundamentals of a particular field of knowledge”. I could care less what she reads. I agree that the press worshipped Obama, but Palin is the mother of a suspected high school drop out that romanticized teenage pregnancy. Not my ideal role model and I don’t think Hillary was any better by tolerating a cheating husband. Only time will tell with Obama, but after the last year – anything is an improvement.

While not as bad as she was, you just don’t have the mettle to interview politicians. I guess if you guys are going to have them on a show like the VIEW you need to do a section of the show where you bake cookies with the candidates or make finger sandwiches.

    Sarah Palin is a very intellectual person who has been very successful in her family life and career. You is well grounded and someone that I can relate to. Unfortunately, the media was so biased and in love with obama. The Hollywood elites took advantage of their platforms and bashed everything the intellectual republicans did. Do you realize that she is more qualified than obama?? Wow, 143 days in the Senate voting “present” most of the time qualifies him to be President?? Get your heads out of the California sink holes and realize he is over his head….already! Why aren’t you and the MSM bashing Caroline Kennedy? If Sarah spoke like that, she would have been over every network and bashed again on Saturday Night Live.
    In 3 interviews that I saw of her, she said “um”, and “you know” over 100 times! I have no idea where she stands either on issues. What are her qualifications that she would be a good Senator…plus, she won’t take the position unless she is “appointed”. Sounds like she couldn’t communicate in an actual debate to win this position.

Nothing could be further from the truth. They hardly represent what I think or believe. I am so sorry for the mom’s at home who have bought into their nonsense.

    Joy Behar could out spar Elisabeth’s support of Palin and the Republicans anytime–Joy always has had the insight and quick wit to make the VIEW worth waiting to watch. The lack of insight by Palin–not being able to list a political journal was frightening! She could have said, The Congressional Record, The Nation, The Guardian, and Newsweek and other national news organs. Thank God Obama won–he was the editor of The Harvard Law Review! Palin’s youth haven’t even finished high school and plan on worthless GED’s! Palin herself Has a very spotty educational record. Imagine such a dunce being one heartbeat away from becoming the president–what an absolute nightmare! Her world view is that of “I can see Russia!” Thank God Joy could always clarify and make cogent arguments when the imbecile Elisabeth opened her ignorant mouth! Sarah, keep putting lipstick on your pig–you are no Caroline Kennedy. Caroline exudes class without even giving the idea a moment’s thought. Your Nieman Marcus’ dresses could not make a silk purse from your sows ear!

    I like the way The View has women from different age groups and different experiences represented on the panel. They discuss the popular subject of the moment and a variety of views are expressed. I happen to like Joy Behar and often we have the same Views on a subject.I am always amazed at the extreme comments made on these sites.(Although I do agree with papagato) Calling someone old and fat because you don’t agree with them shows how little we respect differences.

    To Joy Behar: Your argument that B.Hussein Obama did NOT say that elementary children should be taught sex education is inaccurate. He DID say it at a meeting with the Planned Parenthood group. It was televised! You missed it? McCain was right to use it in an ad…too bad you are so ignorant! And, by the way, Palin named several publications she reads daily — whatzherface just talked over Palin’s answer. That was televised, too. Where were you? You must read only liberal talking points!!!! Shame on you!

    To Joy Behar – you better go back and look at what Sarah Palin REALLY said about how close Russia and it’s proximity (is that too big of a word for you?) to the US is and how Fey spun the statement for SNL. You are a clueless bimbo, and more DUMB than anyone. You need to check your facts before you open your own mouth. You sound like an idiot half the time. There’s so many more things you’ve said, that I can’t waste the ink here. And to Kurt who posted at 1:09pm 1/10 – typical left wing liberal spew. You think Caroline Kennedy is a better politician than the Gov. of Alaska who has done more reform and good for her citizens? Omg, it’s idiots like you who voted in an idiot like corrupt liar Obama. You’ll find out. You’ll find out. Again, why waste breath on ignorant idiots. It’s one thing to be stupid (low IQ), but it’s another to be an ignorant (just don’t study all the facts). I too used to be a Democrat – but my 50 yrs experience has proven that they are all an embarrassment now, including their ignorant following.

    Joy, you are the main reason I watch the VIEW. I became a bigger fan of yours during the presidential campaign. The way you would respond to Elisabeth’s rantings about then-candidate Obama were priceless, as well as so on point. She is so young to be so myopic! I wonder where she was raised and actually feel sorry for her children! You were steadfast in your support for Obama! I noticed that Whoopi would kind of lay in the cut and wait on you to ‘get’ Elisabeth. Was that planned? It’s cool to have differing opinions, but Elisabeth’s attacks were particularly vicious and factless. I hope that by the time she has experienced as much life as you have that maybe her outlook will be broader, as well as more intelligent and tolerant. Can’t imagine why so many people want to jump on you, but I guess the truth hurts. Keep doing what you do! Love it! Oh, and I wish people would just stop feeding Sarah Palin’s need for attention. She blew her chances, all by herself. She was not qualified for the job of VP and she has no one to blame but herself for putting herself (and family) out there for the world to see her ineptness on so many levels. She has her supporters, and they have the right to do so, but thank all that is good and just that she was not catapulted into a position that would have not only brought further embarrassment to this country, but also more importantly, peril. World leaders would have had a field day with her! She is no Condoleezza, Hillary, or even Caroline Kennedy! That’s like comparing Spam to a Kobe steak!

    There is a point on the far west coast of Alaska that is a little over 2 miles to Russia. RUSSIA IS ALASKA’S NEIGHBOR and Sarah’s comment was informed not dumb.

    Palin–dumb, ignorant, liar, the wolf, polar bear and any other animal’s biggest nightmare—her claim to fame–a good shot—what a great asset to be VP of the US, but that goes along with the mentality of most Republicans—of course, to be a good Republican, you must hate someone or something. You guys are already complaining about Obama and he is not is office yet—you forget whowas in control of this country for the last 8 years and ran our country and the world into the ground. Why not be honest and truthful and admit all the wrong you all have done to us.By the way, why not tell the truth about the war and how much it is really costing us–no one ever seems to mention that. To Janet posted @1/11/09, 1:08 AM–you and Palin could be sisters–haha—the gov of Alaska –the biggest joke in my lifetime—my dog is smarter than Palin.

I mean OMG Barbara even went so far as to tell him how handsome he was!But, then again, she does prefer black men, so it’s understandable.He’s just a little too young for her and married, but whoops, being married doesn’t matter to her now does it? The stark difference in how the McCains were interviewed vs. the Obamas was so hypocritical and pathetic! Needless, to say, I do not watch “The Left-Wing View” any longer! Joy, eventually The View will end and the only show that you can guest on will be “The Idiot Hypocrite, Bill Maher”.Remember, 1/2 of your audience is/was Republicans to which you try to offend every chance you get.And they will all tune out eventually, just like I did! And your Dem audience will not be able to sustain the ratings, alone.Whoopi, I like you, but when you asked McCain if he was going to bring back slavery, I was truly disappointed in you. Barbara, you need to retire and go visit Fidel again! You both make quite the couple! I didn’t believe Donald Trump’s version of the “Rosie” incident, but now I think that he was telling the truth about you after all.

    I decided months ago that the view and in particular Joy Behar were not in the least interesting. The rhetoric is always the same; lame topics most of the time, too much time given over to irrelevant celebs obsessed with themselves, no original thoughts, ideas, or interesting conversations. In an effort to be fair minded, I check back periodically to see if anything has been up-graded to at least average. Nope. Now I clean my bathroom during this time slot. It sparkles like a jewel, and I encounter a lot less crap than tbe stuff on that show.

Barbara is an icon, but not readable on where she stands on issues, my guess is so she’s welcome by all to interview, regardless of how despicable some of them are..I say hurrah to the ladies, even sherry has come a long way..I watch every day. and as for the blithering idiots in the comments section f..k em..

When i lived in NY, I used to listen to her on the radio each morning on my way to work. The Clintons would not have been too happy to hear what she had to say about them during the 1992 primaries. She even put down Arkansas residents. She received many responses about her put down rom people who could not retire in NY, but were moving there because NY was too expensive and corrupt. I excused her for a lot, but when I saw her teaming up with the likes of the late Bella Abzug, I knew that Ms. B would be trouble.

    I could not believe she called Sarah Palin dumb, talk about “not very astute”.

I heard Joy say to a guest the other day that she (the guest) could dish it out but could not take it when they were badgering and belittling her. The lady was simply trying to answer to some of the the derogatory comments they were making about her personally and about her book but of course she could not answer because the 3 of them kept talking/yelling over the top of each other and at her. They were very rude and disrespectful of the guest. So if you have any ideas or beliefs they do not agree with you better not go on their show!

Also, “You just can’t write” how stupid Barack Obama is when he’s not reading from his beloved teleprompter … when he thinks there are 58 states in our nation, ETC., ETC., ETC. He’s made as many and more absurd, stupid remarks and mistakes withOUT the help of the liberal media. OBAMA and BIDEN have both appeared as morons prior to even having gotten into office, imagine what material the comedians will have after 4 years … hopefully, not 8! The list for BIDEN being the LONGEST of all – the plagerizing cheat. And, while I’m talking about “cheating,” at least Palin didn’t start HER political career like Obama did by deceitful means – by having EVERY SINGLE OPPONENT thrown off the IL ballot due to technicalities by having their personal, private, divorce papers UNSEALED and using it against them. That’s really IRONIC too since no one can get Obama’s BIRTH CERTIFICATE UNsealed to prove that he’s even eligible to run for president (in SPITE of the fact that his KENYAN GRANDMOTHER SAID she was THERE, in KENYA, as a WITNESS to OBAMA’S BIRTH.) Liberal Democrats are absurd and ridiculous with their incongruous logic and suspension of reason and rationality.

    As Mayor of Wasilla Palin forced rape victims to pay for their own evidence collection yet she spent thousands on decorating her office and left the town deep in debt. As governor she charged the state of Alaska 300 dollars per night when she traveled to her own home. She also charged the state for her children’s travel to events that they were not invited to and did not have a role beyond chowing down at the buffet. Was she responsi ble for spending all that money on clothes? Who knows, but it seems to fit her pattern. She seems to have gotten her soon-to-be son-in-law a jump ahead of others on the waiting list for an apprenticeship—never mind that he needs a high school diploma. What about all the other young people who have dependents and need jobs but worked for a diploma? Sarah Palin is one very smart pig at the public trough.

All i can say is hide and watch the old boy and see what you think of your “messiah” in a month or even a few days………….now that he’s “IN” theres no stopping him now and all of you who voted for him are going to rue the day you ever heard his name.I have no problem with him being black but a black muslim,NO! not after what happened on 9/11. How soon we forget.

When Mr. Obama came on the show they acted like a bunch of teen age girls that was star struck. They treated John McCain like a person that was anything but a veteran of a war that has helped kept our country free. I now have no use for the show because of the way they acted.

President Obama can be stopped. Here in the States we call this “checks and balances”. Regarding what happened on 9/11 … it seems as though you are the one who has forgotten. The bombers were mostly Saudi ARABIAN. All were Arabs. Black muslims??? Sarah Palin’s own husband hates the United States so much that he joined a secessionist group. By the way, liberal is not a bad word.

    This is a response to carol horn’s post from 1/20/09 7:06pm. Race mixing is nothing new. My lovely community, the white community made up some rules regarding racial purity. Quadroons who are 75% white were considered black according to the laws of Jim Crow… even octoroons were considered black. It was illegal for blacks and whites to marry in most of the US until the 50’s. It is STILL illegal according to some state constitutions in the South though not enforced. The black community has done an above average job sticking to the racial identity rules set up by the white community.You asked what happened to the Caucasian side of his family… they have all passed away. His maternal grandmother died in Hawaii just a couple of days, before (then Senator) Obama, won the election for POTUS. He talks and writes about his family all the time. Anyone just looking at him could ONLY describe him as being black or African American.

    Sue’s comment: “Oh and by the way capriana, I AM superior to you and anyone else who doesn’t beieve in God!”

    Well, so much for the concept of humility that Sue’s religion teaches. And since you missed that day in school, Sue, no one is inherently superior. No belief system can possibly can accurately make the concept of absolute truth comprehendable to the human mind. Believing in God does not make you as powerul or as omniscient as God. You believe so fervently that you are now blinded as to how to relate to those who believe differently as you. Which of course is your right as an American; but your belief in your own superiority is not the same at it being an actual fact.

    Hmm do people really think ad hominaem attacks are persuasive?

    The fact remains that the mainstream press has been cornating Obama since his 2004 appearance at the Democratic Convention. There has not been so much as a pretense of investigating his origins and his associations. And there is a lot there that cries out for scrutiny. Ayers, Resco, the under impeachemnt and federal indictment Governor of Illinois…..the list goes on. These are the same folks who belittled GW from day one. The bias is palpable. What about the folks who wore press buttons and Obama buttons simultaneously…….This is our 4th estate with the sacred duty of informing the electorate?

    KEITH,

    “ad moninem”…exactly what are you referring to? It’s an interesting observation. Most sites are a venting place. People can say things in cyberspace they would never say to the person..some people are petty, rude, crude, ignorant. And yes, ad hominem attacks make people feel like they are really on top of things and hot…as long as no one they know is around. Something as simple as misspelling a name will give another person reason to say the whole statement is a fallacy. And there is a lot of that. “God”..is bantied around a lot..I don’t know what a person’s faith has to do with Behar. I do not like her or Walters. Therefore, I do not watch the show anymore. I happened upon this site by accident and will leave just as quickly.. Blessings y’all!!

    Keith, it is strange for you to choose the phrase ‘cornating’ about the mainstream press. Isn’t that the same phrase that S.Hannity used repeatedly about Hillary Clinton when all the right wingnuts were certain that she’d be the Dem nominee? And although Hannity continued his drum beat of ‘scare the Repubs’ day in and day out…it did absolutely no good at all. Must be difficult for Hannity to realize that he’s becoming irrevelant. Although I think that the words of Ms. Behar are very funny and often true, neither she or any of the other hosts are journalists (with the exception of Ms. Walters). And she is more intelligent than the vapid airhead that exists in Elizabeth. Good lord, that girl is dummer than dirt.

If being your Chrisitian involves all this, you can have it. And Joy is still smug and rude. She’s Italian..and I might take offense at that point.

    I think Joy is right on. She won’t just swallow whatever is nicely packaged as “truth”. She lets guests have their say, but she will question them when they present obvious lies and try to pass them off as truth. The guests who do so know they are pushing the edge. For instance, she knows McCain and knows that only a couple of years ago he would never have pushed the party agenda the way he did. She knows he only did it because he was backed into a corner, and she called him on it. She actually gave him a chance to come clean. Too bad he didn’t take it. She may be a comic, so people may be less inclined to take her seriously, but comedy through the ages has always managed to speak truth to power without anger. You go Joy!

You are constantly looking at your notes and listening only to your own comments. How can anything the Democrats do always be better than the Republicans Nd vice-a versa for that scatterbrain Elizabeth. By the way, I am nether a Democrat or Republican. I vote based on the issue at hand, so have no axe to grind for either party. I am just an American, which I can’t say for you. You are just a cynical, bitter person in a position to influence people.

    Don’t you just love these quasi-celebs that think that just because they are semi-famous that it also means they are intelligent?

    Joy Behar is a Bette Middler wannabe, lacking only the talent, intelligence and personality of Bette.

    She’s just one more show biz lemming that just doesn’t get it. The most annoying thing about these self-serving celebs is that they only know how to criticize. Damn few of them have anything CONSTRUCTIVE to say about an issue or someone with a different viewpoint. The bottom line: When the producers of this show hire some hosts that actually have something MEANINGFUL to bring to the table besides insults and put downs, maybe I’ll tune back in. Oh, and it has to be something nice to say about someone BESIDES Obama. We all know they all want to bear his children, with the exception of Elizabeth. Until then, it’s just a lot of blah-blah-blah.

    Joy Behar is why I don’t watch The View much anymore. Obviously she does not care what she says since she openly answered the question that she never worries about offending people.
    I’m sorry I missed getting to ask her a question as it would be
    “What are you so angry about?”
    My bet is she is not a very happy person in real life and watching her body language when guests or topics are not her way, the anger just pours out of her.

    I don’t see how she could call anyone dumb or politically astute with what comes out of her mouth.

    How sad for The View that they do not get it…Joy is poisoning the show.

I compare the VIEW with THE ENQUIRER and I haven’t bought a copy in many years! The show was great at the beginning but it has lapsed into a COMA and a rag magazine. I continue to hope and really pray that some day you can lure me back as a viewer by getting back to what’s really important, the TRUTH! and about what’s going on on the world today! Each person on your panel should show respect one another and not always turn into a feline cat fight! and agree to disagree. What message does that send to others watching the show? The show should do something nice for people not tear them down. I will continue to hope…

    Joy Behar epitomizes “celebrity?” I’m from LA and I can honestly say, I don’t think so. The show is supposed to feature different perspectives, hence the title. Joy’s is one and the neo-con talking head, I mean that blond lady is another and so on and so on. If you don’t think Joy is funny, don’t listen to her. I think she showed tremendous restraint with McCain and generosity vis a vis Palin. In my opinion, Palin has demonstrated time and again that she is, in fact, intellectually challenged.

There is no excuse for her being rude to the McCains on the View, whether they are in politics or not. It was very obvious that Joy showed her true bad self once again. She lacks education on promoting a positive view of herself. Many intelligent and polite people are disgusted with her. I think that the “View” degrades women.

She’s Italian and a Cathloic as I remember. Also, Sara Palin is not the title of this post, it appears to be mainly about Joy and the cast of the view. But, did you know Sara Palin runs a state, a whole big state, her electorate loves her..Joy runs her mouth, and can’t stand to be made fun of as she does others, whew she gets really haughty and uptight when that happens!! so funny to watch. Barbara WaWa was a naughty naughty jerk. She stated that she had an affair with Senator Edward Brooke, and he was married..so, I refuse to watch anything that she is associated with. Gotta draw the line somewhere, and where better than public adultery? Sherry is a Joy wanna be, and can’t quite pull it off. Whoopie, tries to be sane and calm,though I didn’t always agree with her general point of view,( I think I like her the most despite views ),Elisabeth, we should all be so innocent and naive..well, acting at least. they fall all over the Hollywood elite and politicians they agree with. So, there you have a synaposis of the show and don’t need to watch it any more..Come on guys, lighten up, these people don’t care what you think of them.

    Who said she was Jewish? She’s always been upfront about her Italian heritage. And if she were Jewish, so what?

    Sarah Palin is not that respected in Alaska, known to be a pusher of her own personal causes. I have friends and family who don’t have much respect for Ms Palin and her husband.

    And gimmeabreak, the spelling is synopsis. Go back to school and learn your grammar and spelling.

    If you don’t like the show, turn it off. Which is what I do. I’ll never watch The View until Ms Hasselback leaves.

    Auntie, you are trying to make this site personal and cut someome down by what you think will be such a “powerful” comment concerning the spelling of a word. You didn’t check your spelling!! go back to school, eewww If that is your biggie, then you will be after most of the people on this site. I don’t like Joy and I don’t watch the show. Now isn’t that better than your neinerneinerneiner stuff.
    And if you want to get technical get this one:

  • Glenda

    Oh, now I understand what “The View” is all about. I thought it was a show where the panel gives their views, not attacka guests with false accusations. If Joy wants to unfairly attack guests, she should check her facts first and know what she is talking about. This show is terribly unbalanced. One conservative to 3 or 4 very left wing liberals! I have no interest in watching people chewing on guests like attack dogs. There is a huge lack of civility and respect towards anyone who doesn’t agree with them. I can’t stomach Joy’s big mouth or the pompous attitude of the other liberals. I tuned them out months ago as did my whole extended family. And McCain did NOT lie about Obama endorsing sex education to kindergarden students. Apparently she never read the bill all the way through…. That part WAS in the bill. The McCains made a mistake agreeing to appear on this stupid show. I’m sure they had no idea they wouldn’t be shown the same butt kissing that these ladies showed to Obama and Michelle. They were ambushed and, yes, got their bones picked. I was sickened by this interview. Joy frequently mis-quotes guests and tries to humiliate them with false accusations. Civility died when far left liberals took over this show. If you want to see fair, unbiased opinions tune in to FOX News to hear both sides with civilized commentators…. I’m interested in facts, not lies.

Just type it into your address bar and you get a couple of hundred sites telling you abou it..CLaSS??? IF this is class, we better redefine the word. Why is everyone on here so mad. I don’t care about Palin, go to a site that discusses Palin, I just turn the channel when the View comes on because of Joy. No problem. And Barbara ain’t got no class…

    The view is one of the most discussing shows on TV. The people who watch it have just about much sense as the ones on the show which isn’t much. Joy Behar reminds me of Bett Midler who has just as much class. UGH!!!! And for the people who read this, Sarah Palin did not say “She could see Russia from her house” It was the stupid broad on Saturday Night Live. Sarah Palin has more class than half the people in the United States.

    Joy Behar is the rudest, most overbearing person that I have ever had the displeasure of watching on TV. I stopped watching The View strictly because of her.

    Joy and Whoopi are the two with intelligence, and the other two are totally ditsy. Joy is blunt and some people find that offensive because the truth hurts, but its still the truth.

    To “justme” Can you point to anyone who is actually pushing for a return of the fairness doctrine? where Obama has said he supports it? to anything but the imaginings of deranged right wingers? Seriously, get a grip on yourself.

    As for whether we’ve always had free speech: it’s been in the Constitution, but like so much under the Bush years it was trashed. Remember “free speech zones”? the whole country is a free speech zone but that didn’t stop people being corralled into places designated as such.

    To Joy & Elizabeth: You both are a class act, however,you both need to respect each others opinions, facts, etc. I do know Joy, that Mr. Bush was not the creator of this total economic mess. lst. Bill Clinton, rode the shirt tail of the great economic Wall Street off of Papa Bush’s term. Also,Clinton reversed the protection law that was protecting investments. Clinton’s Nafta dealings back-fired due to not researching enough and Clinton owed everyone trying to get the Nafta agreement in. Oh, how easily everyone forgets. Also, Joy you blame Bush for Katrina. Duh! Everyone was warned to get the Hell out of town. But when things got worse, the ones, that say they couldn’t get out were the biggest Offender’s. Of course it was Jr. Bush’s fault. In fact, let’s blame every thing on Bush, especially leaving Bin-Ladin slip through Slick-Willy’s sites when he was messing around with the chickie. Joy, at least Elizabeth is stating many of the facts over and above your critisism.

  • Sheryl Nance

    Joy: I enjoy your comments on the view. You are hilarious. Whoopie tries to ride the fence but she’s really transparent. Elizabeth most often repeats erroneous information straight off of Fox News. In my opinion she’s the one with the bad attitude when it comes to discussing anything political. (Is she getting paid to spout that garbage or does she just enjoy parroting nonsense?) It probably wasn’t a good idea (because of your celebrity status) to call Sarah Palin “dumb” but I’m no celebrity so I’ll say it for you, she’s an idiot and I don’t know how in the world she ever graduated High School let alone became governor of Alaska! If she, Rush “I hope he fails” Limbaugh, and Joe “not the plumber” are the future of the Republican party, comedians world wide will have more material than they ever dreamed possible. Keep up the good work calling it just how you see it!

    Is this a political site? Just wondering, there are plenty of really good ones on the internet. if any of you rely on Joy, or any of the people from that program for your political views, which some of you seem to be saying you are, that might explain the mess we’re in as a country. The view is an entertainment venue, not a news outlet. I think Joy is funny, at other people’s expense, and has no sense of humor concerning herself, NONE, NADA, ZILCH, Elisabeth, is flatly overwhelmed. Barbara is very left,very, Sherry is not really funny, sad. Whoopie, is a hoot, politics or not. I no longer watch the show as I found them as a group offensive and I want to put better things into life. I happened upon this site looking for something else. Hope you look somewhere else besides the view for political input. Good political commentary Marilyn Matho!, except I do not think Joy is class. Otherwise I agree totally.

I agree that some forms of criticism are harsher than others… like the person who wrote “Narrow minded obnoxious ignoramious.” Wow. That’s insulting. And “ignoramious” was spelled incorrectly, wasn’t it? (I’m just being critical, not hateful).

And I seriously doubt that she could care less what any of us think. So, please folks, read the newspapers, or listen to the news, Glen Beck, do not get your education from the View.

    PRIOR TO THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, I PLANNED ON VOTING FOR JOHN MCCAIN, EVEN THOUGH I AM A LONG-TIME DEMOCRAT.
    BUT THEN HE MADE THAT TERRIBLE MISTAKE IN CHOOSING SARAH PALIN. TO THIS DAY, I AM STILL BAFFLED OVER THIS CHOICE. MY ONLY THOUGHT, WAS THAT MCCAIN MAY HAVE SLEPT WITH SARAH PALIN, WHO MAY HAVE PREVIOUSLY SLEPT WITH SOME OIL EXECUTIVES UP IN ALASKA, WHO USED SARAH PALIN TO BLACKMAIL MCCAIN IN CHOOSING HER FOR A RUNNING MATE, THUS WHEN MCCAIN GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, SO DOES THESE OIL EXECUTIVES.
    NOW DONT TELL ME NO ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT THIS WAS THE PRIME REASON, WHY MCCAIN CHOSE SUCH A BRAIN-DEAD WOMAN AS A RUNNING MATE?
    IF ONLY MCCAIN WOULD HAVE TAKEN SARAH PALIN TO THE NEAREST ZOO AND TRADED HER IN FOR A PET MONKEY (WHICH IM SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN SMARTER), I THEN WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR MCCAIN. NOW IM GLAD I VOTED FOR OBAMA.

    i absolutely adore all of y’all–not so much elizabeth–she does not make sense most of the time. woopi and joy are my favs. listening to liz is like trying to read a book start at the front, skip to the end, skip to the middle, back to the end, then the front(-:totally bassackwards. i am so in agreement with woopi pertaining to the smot poking thing. this is referred to as a consensual crime. i vote(as do many) to relieve the overcrowded prisons of nonviolent offenders and stop releasing the violent criminals early. it is kind of a no brainer isn’t it? i am so proud of woopi for not caving on the bra issue. i love your sense of humor joy. if you all decide to replace liz can i have a go at it? i promise to not equate improving the caribou population with the pro-choice issue. in case you will give me a chance: i am a veteran–usaf, usmc, and usa, i am a mother of three grown girls, a grandmother of two girls, i am fifty-two as of thirteen february, i am above average literacy. in addition i have a great sense of humor and i am beautiful(as are we all including liz before she opens her mouth!)

    TO ABI AND SALLIE:
    THE TWO OF YOU EVIDENTLY STILL BELIEVE IN DOROTHY AND TODO.
    YOU SIMPLY MAKE ME SICK, WHEN YOU JUMP TO SARAH PALIN’S DEFENSE. I SUPPOSE THE OLD SAYING IS TRUE, IT TAKES SOMEONE DUMB TO SIDE UP WITH SOMEONE ELSE DUMB. SARAH PALIN WAS BORN THIS WAY, WHAT ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU. I SUPPOSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE COMEDIAN THAT HAD THE INTERVIEW WITH KATIE COURIC, APPEARING TO BE TOTALLY DUMB. A RESPONSE TO THIS, “I ABSOLUTELY THINK NOT”. IT WAS SARAH PALIN HERSELF THAT MADE THOSE STUPID DUMB REMARKS. NO ONE ELSE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SARAH PALINS STUPID REMARKS, OTHER THAN SARAH PALIN HERSELF.
    SO IF THE TWO OF YOU WANT TO KEEP DEFENDING HER, THATS FINE WITH ME. THE JOKE IS ON YOU. THE TWO OF YOU MUST BE LESBIANS WHO MAY WANT TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH SARAH PALIN.
    I WANT TO LET YOU IN ON SOME BAD NEWS. JUST BY DEFENDING SARAH PALIN, WONT BRING THE TWO OF YOU INTO HER BEDROOM WITH HER, AND IT CERTAINLY WONT MAKE PEOPLE ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY THINK THAT SARAH PALIN IS INTELLIGENT. SHE RUINED THIS CHANCE AND HER CHANCE AT THE VICE-PRESIDENCY WHEN SHE SPOKE HER FIRST WORDS WITH THE MEDIA.
    I STILL SAY THAT SARAH PALIN MUST HAVE SLEPT WITH SOME OIL EXECUTIVES IN TRYING TO MAKE IT BIG IN ALASKA. THEN THE OIL EXECUTIVES BLACKMAILED HER INTO SLEEPING WITH JOHN MCCAIN. OF COURSE, SHE WAS USE TO SLEEPING AROUND, SO THIS WAS NOT A DIFFICULT TASK FOR THE OIL EXECUTIVES TO DO. THEN ONCE SHE SLEPT WITH MCCAIN, THE OIL EXECUTIVES BLACKMAILED JOHN MCCAIN IN CHOOSING SARAH PALIN FOR HIS RUNNING MATE.
    IF YOU DARE TO SAY THIS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED, THEN GO AHEAD AND FLY AWAY IN THE TORNADO WITH YOUR FAITHFUL AND UGLY DOG. THE TWO OF YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO YOUR OWN FAMILIES.
    DO THE MOST HONORABLE THING, AS THE JAPANESE DID MANY YEARS AGO. TAKE YOUR OWN LIVES, SO THAT OTHERS MAY FIND A BETTER LIFE WITHOUT YOU.

    Everyone that appears to be on Sarah Palin’s side, are all fools. Yes, you are fools, fools, fools. When most members of the Republican Party proclaim that Sarah Palin is unfit, not only to be John Mccain’s running mate, but unfit to be the governor of Alaska, then this should tell you something. This should tell you that everyone that is on Sarah Palin’s side, are fools, fools, fools. Its difficult to believe that the majority of the voters in Alaska voted for this woman. A woman who normally leaves her baby with down’s syndrome home, but used the baby for sympathy votes when she was running for Vice-President. I didnt say this, a prominent newspaper in Alaska made note of this. Sarah Palin does everything she can to advance herself in the world. Sleep with the big oil executives, sleep with John Mccain, which now seems very probable, and as some of these women would hope, they would hope someday she sleeps with them. Who else would admire Sarah Palin, than someone that wants to go to be with her? Its disgusting that Sarah Palin has so many admirers, sexual admirers at that. All of you need to get a life. You sit at your computers day and night, which tells me that nothing exciting ever happens to you. Thats completely pittiiiiful. All of you must be on meth, otherwise you’re all lesbians who just cant get enough of Sarah Palin, without having her in bed.

    COMEDY ROUTINE WHICH IS NOT VERY FUNNY EITHER.
    HOWEVER, THADDEUS, YOUARE COMPARING PALIN’S POLITICAL EXPERIENCE TO JOHN MCCAIN WHO WAS THE ONE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN IN THE SENATE FOR LIKE 30 YEARS AND WHAT HAS HE ACCOMPLISHED. HE SUFFERS FROM FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE, WHICH OBAMA FOUND OUT BUT COULDN’T GET RID OF HIM. PALIN IS AN ACCOMPLISHED POL, YOU ARE SEXIST SO YOU ATTACKED THE FEMALE. YOU SRE NOT FUNNY, YOUARE NOT EVEN CONSIDERATE. YOU MOCK HER WORKING EITH A DOWN SYNDROME BABY. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, SHE CAN’T WORK? IF HER HUSBAND IS HOME AND HEIS WITH HIS CHILDREN OR THEY ARE WITH A NANNY. IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THAT? OR EVEN DAYCARE. THAT’S WHAT MOST WORKING WOMEN I KNOW DO WITHTHEIR KIDS WHILE THEY WORK IF THEY ARE NOT IN SCHOOL. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I SAW HER IN HER OFFICE AND THE BABY WAS THERE TOO. I THINK THAT THAT SHE WAS NURSING HIM AND HAD TO TAKE HIM WITH HER.

    EVIDENTLY, YOU’VE HAD YOUR HEAD BURIED IN THE SAND TOO LONG. SURE THE LITTLE TYKE HAS A NANNY. BUT WHEN SARAH PALIN IS RUNNING FOR ANYTHING AND SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE SYMPATHY VOTE, SHE BRINGS ALONG HER BABY. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT HER BABY HAS A BETTER PURPOSE IN LIFE, THAN TO BE EXPLOITED FOR THE SAKE OF THE ALMIGHTY VOTE. HOW DARE SHE TREAT HER CHILD IN THIS MANNER, AS IF HER BABY WAS HER OWN PERSONAL CAMPAIGN SIGN. ALSO, HOW DARE SHE PROCLAIM HERSELF AS THE NEW LEADER OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE RESENTMENT IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. IT WAS A MISTAKE ON JOHN MCCAIN’S PART TO CHOOSE HER AS A RUNNING MATE. ITS CLEARLY A MISTAKE FOR HER TO THINK SHE’S THIS COUNTRY’S GIFT TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. IF SHE IS SURELY A GIFT, THEN PLEASE LEAVE ME OUT AND IM A REPUBLICAN, TO BEAT IT ALL. SHE’S EGOTISTICAL AND YOU ARE EGOTISTICAL. OPPOSITES ARE SUPPOSE TO ATTRACT, BUT YOU SURELY HAVE THE SAME UPBRINGING AS SARAH PALIN. JUST PLAIN “DUMB”. THATS THE UPBRINGING. SHE WAS ONLY ELECTED GOVERNOR BECAUSE NO ONE ACTUALLY KNEW HER IN ALASKA. THEY DID NOT WANT THE OTHER TWO CANDIDATES, SO THEY TOOK A CHANCE ON VOTING FOR HER. WOW, ALASKANS REALLY SCREWED UP.

    Hi, I can see Kevin, Thad, heck only knows His/her real name, holed up in their room, or “mom’s basement”, “I’m really gonna let them have it and tell ’em how dumb they are” haha I guess it’s like playing checkers against yourself because you are soooo boring.,I ment bored. Do you honestly think you can change another person’s point of view with the NASTY B.S. you type out here? Maybe your problem is Palin “is a woman”, and you seem to think a woman should be the only care taker of a child. It seems you still have that little “sex” hangup. If I had a child with a problem and I thought I could call attention to it and maybe get someone out there to pay more attention to a cure, “ya betcha” I would! Everyone in Alaska knew her. She had been a mayor of a town for a few years. A person “WINS AN ELECTION” because the people voting do not want to vote for the other candidates. Got that point? I think the Republican party will gladly take your resignation.In all this raunchy language about Palin and Republicans, there was little mention what this site is about, JOY BEHAR!! Whew, bet ya never saw that one comin’! GOTCHA!! Really there are some places out there that are just for your subjects, of course your lack of experiese in how to put facts and figures together without whining and calling people names might be hard on you. Thadeus, Kevin, Michelle, Troy, whatever name your’re using for the day. You are pretending to be a “politico”, but it’s not working. Also, to burst your balloon, Sarah Palin is one of the top, yep top, Republicans being considered for 2010. Read the sites, stay away from the gossip ones like this and you will actually get some facts. I believe the Democratic party is the one that was “mislead”, Mr. Biden seems to a case of “foot in mouth”. That’s my opinion and I don’t need to cut other people’s heads off if they disagree. Thad (yr name of choice today?)you seem to be the only one calling names, so, go call JOY, bet she’ll call right back and you can call each other names and spout erounous facts to each other. Read a few pages back then forward, our little sweetie with the nasty attitude is always posting under different names. Perhaps if everyone just ignores his postings, he’ll quit.Plus, he/she seems to hate women, or he’s 12 and doesn’t know how to handle his body parts yet. No, I don’t like Joy anymore. Whoopie I have always liked, even in disagreeing she puts up a good argument.

    I forgot the commentor’s name, but they certainly may have a point.
    Even though John Mccain chose Sarah Palin as a running mate, it was startling at the end of the election, that it looked so much like he was throwing the election over to Barack Obama.
    I believe the previous commentor may be right. The big oil executives out of Alaska may have strongly coaxed Sarah Palin to sleep with John Mccain, then she may have blackmailed John Mccain in choosing her as a rumming mate, so that the oil executives would have a foot in the door of the White House.
    Or it could be that the big oil executives did not have any part of this. If this is the case, then Sarah Palin may have just slept with John Mccain in order to advance herself up the Republican ladder. We already know she’s trying her best to rise to the top. She’s already proclaimed herself as the extreme leader of the Republican Party. I wonder what Rush Limbaugh has to say about this? He thought he was the leader of the Republican Party.

  • Bobby

    How does a person in politics advance himself/herself up the ladder?
    They try their darnest to get into the news as often as they can. This way, their name shows up more frequent in newspapers, radio and television.
    Watch out America. This little tactic is catching on. It will show that anyone, even Sarah Palin, can make a name for herself. Even as handicapped and brain-dead as she is. She became Governor of Alaska. But I have to agree with the other person who stated that no one liked the other two candidates in Alaska, so they chose to mock the election and vote for a brain-dead woman. If you dont believe this could happen, just look at George W. Bush. Another totally brain-dead person.

    To Cookie:
    Im sure the news media will give Sarah Palin another chance to prove that she is not stupid.
    But honestly, “I seriously dont think so”
    You see, when someone receives a chance of a lifetime to glow in front of the cameras and that person proves they are a moron, then thats what they are labeled with, throughout life.
    Sure, Sarah Palin may wish she had another chance, but unless Dr. Frankenstein is alive and well today and ready to make a quick transplant, I seriously dont think good-ole-Sarah will have any hope of masquerading herself as someone smart.
    A person cannot become smart just overnight or just within a couple of years, it takes a lifetime of learning. But even if Sarah Palin were able to hop into a time machine and go back to the day she was conceived, lets face it, God just dealt her with a faulty brain. Its that simple and nothing can be done about it, unless she receives a brain transplaint.

    If you feel that the news media will give her another chance, I say one thing about this. “I seriously think not”.
    Sarah Palin already had her chance and she blew it. S

    Ever seen a very attractive woman, a woman who can have almost any man she may want, but the man she chooses is a man whose on meth and looks like he’s been on meth for a number of years. An odd pair if you’ve ever seen one, but it does happen more and more these days.

    I would try to understand exactly what these women would want to do with Sarah Palin, if given the chance of their lives. But please, I would not want to lower myself and be disgusted by any thought of anyone, wishing to make love to this woman.

    When savants like “bob” call “joy b — stupid & ugly, & liberals, crass & rude,” they should be aware of their own similarities to their rants, AND they should be able to spell “diahrrea.”

    Anyone that calls nasty names or says degrading sexual things should be turned over to the Administrator of this site. No matter the name they are posting under, the Adm has their real address. It is uncalled for. The person in particular that seems to be doing that type posting here has an mean, sexual oriented, sinister attitude. Sometimes he’s a her, but uses the same language, exact thoughts. The Adm will know. Quit answering all his posts, he’s just yanking your chain and does not appear to be in a real discussion. Go to another site that will have honest give and take, pro and con, with facts, and no dirty sexual innuendo to EVERTYHING! We all are. Adios AND!!!
    “AD MONINUM”!!! I think this site would even make Joy sick.

    Who the F___ is Joy Behar? And who cares what she says about anyone?

    Bob and Allred, it’s spelled DIARRHEA. Both of you spelled it wrong. Just clarifying.

    Re: Spelling lessons

    Simply “clarifying” how something is spelled is thought to be a powerful technique. But why? Maybe it is an ego trip. Realities can be perceived with some kind of senses because they have perceptual distinctions to them. The idea here it is to get the readers connected with the realities that they express an “interest” in the word and how it is spelled. They did not do this. In the grand scheme of things, there is nothing of substance in this correction lesson it doesn’t matter how they spell it, diahrrea. diarrhea,dieareareha, we knew what they were talking about, and it didn’t change the substance of what they were saying. Joy stinks

    Joy is wonderful and I salute her for her honesty especially when most people are not –

    Thank God for Elizabeth! I could barely stand to listen to whiney, complaining Joy. (She should change her name.) She was SO rude to John McCain and Cindy. Her out and out hatred of President Bush is palpable. Sad.

    To be a comedian- you need to be very smart and sharp.
    Joy has both of these qualities.

    Rush and Hannity are just two gas- bags!!! Miller is funny and an ultra conservative!

    When will the people of the United States stop caring what this person thinks? She has gotten to her level of fame(?) on the backs of her writers and a big mouth. Fame does not equal wisdom.

    Rush and Hannity? Has Joy talked about them too? Wow she is out of her league! Even O’Reiley can’t stand Joy! Miller isn’t so fond of her either!! Nobody can! If being mean, rude, self-concerned are honesty then I guess she’s the most honest. Look at the demographics of the show, stay at home people!! I think the people that sit home and listen to her use her as an alternate persoanlity for their drab lives. I don’t mean to sound mean, it just makes sense. She’s mean, don’t be like her.

    Joy is a breath of fresh air, telling the truth and not coloring the distortions that McCain and his stupid wife try to perpetuate. Thank God for people like Jopy who can see through the hypocrisy and call people on it. Elizabeth is just plain stupid, and she adds nothing to any show that is unfortunate enough to have her. I am convinced that she would justify Hitler if he were a Republican ,running for office.She is totally biased in all of her opinions.I cannot stand to listen to her whiney, shrill voice.

    Joy’s courageous, honest (and sometimes hiliarious) commentary is the backbone of The View. She’s witty, smart, and not afraid to ask pertinent and to-the-point questions. More than that, she makes sense. Elizabeth’s robotic, one-way Republican dogma reminds me of a Stepford wife. Clearly she’s been brainwashed, like so many others who vote Republican, even when the candidate is obviously inferior and even unqualified, as in the case of Sarah Palin.
