Behar: So what? I call all my close friends “bitches”
There is no “apology.”
So I’m not sure why Mediaite headlines its latest Joy Behar video, “Joy Behar Apologizes For Calling Sharron Angle ‘Bitch;’ Says It’s ‘A Term Of Endearment.’
In fact, the non-”apology” shows that in addition to being a foul-mouthed, spewing shrew, Behar is also an inveterate coward who won’t take responsibility for her words:
“I really shouldn’t have called her a bitch,” said Behar today. “To me, that’s a term of endearment. I reserve that word for people that I know and love. So that was a mistake and I take it back.”
Wait, Joy Behar and Sharron Angle – secret BFFs?
After reiterating the fact that it was a racist ad that Angle approved, she turned to her co-hosts. “You girls are my bitches,” she said as the audience applauded. I especially love when you call me your skinny bitch,” said Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
If this rationalization sounds familiar, it should.
In 2007, I called Behar on her “bitch”-y hypocrisy. After using the profanity against me, she demanded that John McCain condemn Hillary Clinton’s critics for using the same language Behar selectively deems a “term of endearment.”
Flashback:
JOY BEHAR: It would have been nice. He is a gentleman, usually, McCain. It would have been nice for him to say [to a female supporter that called HIllary Clinton a "bitch:]” “Well, you know, I think you’re referring to my opponent and I don’t particularly like the way you’re refer to her.” That’s all. It would have been nice and respectful to say that. That’s all. As far as Bush is concerned, I mean, I respect the office of the presidency. I just don’t respect him.
[Applause]
SHEPHERD: What I’m saying is the same could be said, she felt Hillary Clinton was a bitch. And so she said it.
BEHAR: No, that’s a personal assault on the woman.
SHEPHERD: You do personal assaults on President Bush.
BEHAR: Yes, I do.
SHEPHERD: So what’s the difference? What’s the difference?
BEHAR: The difference is that I don’t like him.
[Laughter]
SHEPHERD: What’s the difference? She didn’t like her.
GOLDBERG: And this woman doesn’t like her. But I still don’t understand what people wanted him to do. You’re saying he should have said “don’t say this,” but the truth of the matter is we walk around doing it all the time and the only way we get away with it is there’s no cameras with us. If no one had seen it on camera, would people have been as mad?
BEHAR: Probably not.
GOLDBERG: I don’t think so either.
SHEPHERD: And also, John McCain is a human being. Sometimes you get caught off guard. Sometimes people say things and you don’t come back the way people think you’re supposed.
BEHAR: At the end of the day, it’s going to work in favor of Mrs. Clinton because she gets the sympathy vote. Women don’t like it. That’s the truth. And so more women will vote for her because of that, I think.
SHEPHERD: Because she got called a bitch?
BEHAR: Yes. They don’t like it. It’s very sexist to call a woman a bitch when you’re a man. We could say it to each other.
[...]
GOLDBERG: We don’t want to get him all wrapped up in that. What I was trying to say is people say stuff all the time and I don’t know if everybody has to always accommodate everybody else’s political correctness. Because John McCain is a good guy. He’s a very smart guy. And, you know, we say this word all the time. I don’t know how much mail comes in about us saying it. It would be interesting to find out.
BEHAR: I think it’s when you’re friendly with a person, you can say it. We perceive them as being as being adversaries. And therefore, it did not seem appropriate. I think that’s the bottom line of it.
This woman is already loopier than a box of Cheerios.
Just wait until Sharron Angle wins on Nov. 2…
That’ll be Senator Bitch to you, Joy.
Five more days. Just five more days.

Joy and Barack almost act if they are Republican double-agents slipped inside the Democrat tent to destroy the Democrat Party. (It is my conspiracy theory for the day.)
oopsie
So now Joy is saying they’re close friends?
Aww. I feel all warm inside.
So I guess she could turn to Whoopie and call her “my Nigga?” Hip people do it all the time.
Its still not very classy or acceptable in most polite company. For the record, I do not use the word in any context.
And she has yet to realize why she has no close friends.
BeHag should just stop peddling , own up to her vulgarity, make a sincere apology and let it go. Aren’t there any adults on TV anymore?
apparently my comment didn’t pass muster, but SpeakEasy’s did! LOL
BTW I just listened to Mr. Tolerance himself Maher (which rhymes with Behar) on his rant about what morons we conservatives and especially tea partiers are. How did this wanker get so smart? Is he like a nobel laureate in physics? Did he invent the internet? Can he really walk on water or is that only in his mind? What a Putz!
The more she opens her low-life pie-hole, the more money Sharron Angle rakes in.
Ms. Angle is everything she is not; cheerful, loving, intelligent, happy and fulfilled.
Behar is clueless, base, sullen, mean, unfunny, untalented and thoroughly vapid.
In any case, I don’t know what was worse; Behar hurling a slur or the dimwitted sheeple applauding when the APPLAUSE sign came on.
So she’s actually working to help Angle? Thanks Joy. (“More flowers!”)
Sad to say there is too little in the way of polite company and far too much in the way of coarse language that is acceptable these days.
Behar exhibits the traits of someone whose world is crumbling.
Her enemy is at the gates and beating the gates down.
What you are seeing from her is angst.
Close friends of Behar, both of them, could very well fit the name she called Sharron Angle, otherwise, would they be Joy’s close friends?
You mean like Democrats? (Thank you Bob Hope:) )
He is actually quite ignorant and obviously not very intelligent. I say that because he judges people by what they believe, rather than what they know or what they can do. He decides that a person who believes in creation (or God or a Creator) and stupid. I guess that holds even for quantum physicists who BELIEVE in Intelligent Design.
According to a Maher metric, you would make sure the person you hire is intelligent by asking them if they believe in evolution (or global warming or God).
Gee, thanks. I’ll never be able to eat Cheerios again…
C’mon, use the proper analogy, not Cheerios…Fruit Loops!
What I want to know is, how many face lifts has this female dog had in the last few years? Criminy. You could bounce a penny off that mug.
where did you get that pic of me at the very top? LOL–down to the hair color & attitude!
+1!
Would Behar call Whoopi or Barack the “N word” as a “term of endearment”?!?
More cowbell!
“… but I’ll walk out on them if they don’t.”
Wow! That’s just the way I picture you, too! With the Hermes boots…
OT
Second quotation is from someone known as “Superhead” who used to date him.
So what? I call all liberals “stupid”.
Sorry for stepping over the line. I was trying to make the point that Joy is using a variant of the “Some of my best friends are (fill-in-the-blank)s”.
These people mean less and less everyday. Not many people bother to listen to them and even fewer attribute any import to what they say, think, or do. As the situation becomes more serious to more citizens, the less the clowns matter. It’s not too early for the Mahers and the Behars to exit quietly.
With that skanky foul mouth she has I wonder if she has had her rabies shots.
I wonder what the response would be if every Tea Party advocate in the country each sent her a single flower … all on the same day …
Joy Behar is a coward.
Good thing that her mouth is so big. It needs to be now that she’s put both feet in it.
Liberal elitists don’t feel a need to apologize to mortals.
That was not an apology. Behar was saying that she shouldn’t have used the word since to her it is a term of endearment.
I believe she wishes she had used the much strong and insulting “C” word.
The women who watch this garbage must be as dumb as rocks.
Jvette … hey there … you’re insulting the rocks …
I am appalled that Behar’s vote counts as much as mine.

HI SPEAKEASY–#4. I worked with 5 Black People for many years. They were all decent hard working people, and us White guys and Hispanics got along well with them.
***
However, sometimes they would use some of the racially tinged slurs when they talked among themselves–in fun! “N”, “C”, Uncle Tom, etc. And us non-Blacks were hearing it also.
***
I asked one of the Black guys why they spoke this way–and said that we would never think of them or speak of them this way. He responded that it was known as “C**NING it up–kind of a macho thing. And that the rest of us would be in big trouble if we ever did it.

The bigger it is the more feet she can shove in. At some point, it will leave her speechless.
rockman,
Yet it is OK for them to use the word “cracker”. Nice double standard.
I’m appalled she isn’t off the air and in a rubber room….
well, I don’t have a tiara, and today I’ve a nasty headcold, but I’m still wearing diamonds, 18k gold and a pair of Tod’s loafers. And lemme tell ya–the headcold makes me a very dangerous beetch.
Why?
Roger that.
Also, if you live in Texas you can call yourself a Texan. If you’re from California, you can call yourself a Californian.
If you live in Hawaiian, don’t you DARE call yourself Hawaiian. Unless you are of Polynesian descent, of course.
I can pay taxes, vote, drive, own property, but I’ll never be Hawaiian. Just a Haole. Sometimes, a “eff-ing Haole.”
A “comedienne” who is not funny.
A “pundit” who knows nothing of which she speaks.
– And she doesn’t even lie convincingly.
Exactly what kind of “talent” got this gal onto that show, anyway?
Her friends call her a moron.
Who watches these crap shows and why.
The dems better purge the Progressives if they want to survive…seeya Tuesday…
Concerning Joy Behar: ” The last time I saw a mouth that big, it had a hook in it.” very classic line from Rodney D.
Male or Female?
Errah Mr Behar must be Captain Pike or a Saint. Either way he’s in my prayers!
Still ugly from the inside out. Shame on Hesselbeck for helping her out.
The do believe the term White Trash would apply to the South Bronx mouth. Fortunately for the world she doesn’t have children with Bill Maher-that would be evil. But they are progressives so more can not be expected.
Bless Joy’s hard little heart, she can’t help it that she wakes up everyday and hs to look in the mirror. I’ll bet her Mama is so proud when she talks crass and vulgar.
Does “The View” now have a disclaimer prior to air time for little innocent kids who could be viewing? You know, “be warned of frequent obscene profanity and ugly women who could offend your senses.”
Any chance we could institute a cap on posts about Joy Biyotch? Limit of 3 a year. The woman is such a mental midget that I feel like my IQ drops 50 points just reading about the goofy things she says. Personally, I don’t have that many points to spare.
Just wondering.
I reserve the words “petulant horse” for people that I know and love.
Joy’s my favoritest petulant horse.
And the audience applauded…
That HAS to be the lamest excuse of 2010.
Following that line of (il)logic I guess the “N” word may be considered a “term of endearment” as well to be used by anyone as long as it’s a “term of endearment.”
What a crock!
Again, PLEASE no more Joy Behar!!
