Joy Behar is supposedly a comic. It’s hard to tell, as the only time she’s really funny is unintentionally. Can you really build a career from that? With a voice that makes The Nanny sound as sweet as Ella Fitzgerald, and a manner that makes a frontier mining camp madam seem like Grace Kelly, Behar has turned irritating into an art form. And if you really want to hear her at full-out bray, just bring up Sarah Palin. Here are a couple of notable examples.
“She is SO dumb” “She is not coherent. The woman cannot construct a sentence.”
So this smart, coherent daytime gabber on the day after Thanksgiving, turned to Whoopie Goldberg, her co-host on ABC’s The View, and asked with all seriousness, “Isn’t it a little bit racist to call it “Black Friday?” No, she wasn’t making a joke– except out of herself. Whoopie, had just cracked that it was “Black (motion to her face,) Friday, all day long.” When Behar asked her question, she at first seemed to think Behar was merely making a lame follow up to the joke, then did her best to cover for the embarrassing ignorance.
