Joy Behar and Barbara Walters Politicize Bin Laden Death: Just Cancel 2012 Election Now
View co-hosts Joy Behar and Barbara Walters on Monday immediately politicized the killing of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. After giving credit to Barack Obama for the successful strike, supposedly straight journalist Walters giddily announced, “I would hate now to be a Republican candidate thinking of running.” [MP3 audio here. ]
Liberal comedienne Joy Behar played off a months-old comment by token conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Behar crowed, “As Elisabeth always says, they should just skip the next election.”
As the crew sat next to guest Brian Ross, Hasselbeck refused to join in: “Wait a minute. I think it is insane to politicize this event right now and I refuse to partake in that.”
Earlier in the show, Hasselbeck showed the most class, declaring, “But, I have to credit the Obama administration for continuing this pursuit and taking the baton from the Bush administration. Neither of these men wanted to bear this burden. Neither of them would ask for this. But to go ahead and act on it is outstanding.”
