David Forsmark: Behar Displays Own Stupidity During Failed Palin Joke

"The Problem of Pain" wasn't about watching Behar try to have an adult conversation

NewsReal Blog contributor David Forsmark asks a mostly rhetorical question:

Is there anyone on TV as clueless as Joy Behar? Okay, but aren’t those people cute or charming or funny… or something?

Joy “Black Friday” Behar keeps braying that Sarah Palin is an idiot. Of course, it may be hard for Behar to really tell from her limited perspective. If Palin were merely 10 times as smart as Joy Behar, she wouldn’t be testing out of any classes.

Here is the latest example Behar spotlighting her colossal ignorance while trying to make a Sarah-is-SO-stupid joke:

WALTERS: So we asked [Sarah Palin] the question that got her in trouble when Katie Couric said, what do you read … She said “I read a lot of C.S. Lewis when I want some divine inspiration.”

BEHAR [laughing]: Aren’t those children’s books? C.S. Lewis?

Har de har har. Wow that Sarah Palin is silly! She can only handle children’s books.

And if weren’t a huge movie opening this weekend, Behar probably wouldn’t have come that close to a proper frame of reference….

Very patiently Barbara explained:

WALTERS: He was arguably the most influential Christian writer of the day. He is considered an intellectual giant…

Well no wonder, Joy Behar hadn’t heard of him…
