Video: Behar: Cheney has a “psychosomatic” blood clot for all the “lying he did”

Discussing the aftermath of Scooter Libby’s conviction, “View” co-host Joy Behar said “Dick Cheney is in trouble now…which is a delight for me.” Continuing, Behar asserted the Vice President’s blood clot was triggered “psychosomatically” because of all the “lying he did.”

So why doesn’t Bill Clinton have a blod clot the size of Texas? Anyway.

Transcript:

Joy Behar: I think it’s not a coincidence that he has a blood clot this week, which is Spanish for I’m going to go down next, I think I’ll retire.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Well that’s harsh

Behar: It’s not harsh, it’s a way out. I’m not making fun of the blood clot, I think probably, you know, psychosomatically might have a blood clot. Who wouldn’t have a blood clot after the lying he did? Talking about a back up of blood.

Of course, psychosomatic diseases aren’t actual diseases at all. They’re symptoms reported that have no physical explanation. Cheney’s blod clot is an actual, physical thing. So, as usual, Behar doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

Well,

Wishing someone dead is always a classy move on the view.

EricPWJohnson on March 7, 2007 at 12:26 PM

See what I mean? Utterly, utterly hateful. This female needs to come across Ann Coulter in a dark alley. The only thing between the right and left side of her head is “hate, pus laden vitriolic hate and nothing else”.

What is it with these people? Are they truly so deaf, blind and dumb they can’t see the forest for the trees. Can they not hear themselves and what they sound like?

Talk about an Aunt Bethany wannabe.

I’m STILL surprised your TIVO hasn’t committed suicide after being forced to watch this every day.

I’m STILL surprised your TIVO hasn’t committed suicide after being forced to watch this every day.

Heh.

I’m just wondering what Allah’s poor TIVO thinks of him.

“Oh, no! Tivo thinks I’m…”

Slublog on March 7, 2007 at 12:36 PM

What’s left to say? We chastise Coulter for saying “faggot” yet this hag will be praised in the press for “speaking her mind”. It’s time to go on the offensive.

darwin on March 7, 2007 at 12:39 PM

Allah didn’t write this piece.

I really need to create a script that does this for me.

Thanks Ian. Now I have to spend the rest of the day trying to get rid of a mental picture of Rosie hanging upside down.

At least you didn’t post pictures.

But have some mercy on that poor TIVO, man!

A brief quote from that article:

She’s “instantly happy” on sunny days but feels as if she’s being tortured when it’s cloudy.

I am willing to take a hit/make a sacrifice for the team. I’ll arrange for permanent accommodations for Rosie here in the Seattle area.

PinkyBigglesworth on March 7, 2007 at 12:53 PM

Would it, technically, be considered mean-spirited to wish upon Behar, O’Donnell and all the others the same health and well-being they wish upon Republicans?

TexasRainmaker on March 7, 2007 at 12:54 PM

If that were possible, then she would have a major aneurism, oh, wait, that takes place in a brain…..

Next on “News at 11″!

Also, right after the commercial break watch exclusive footage of Joy behar getting the congressional model of Honor for speaking truth to power, and hear her ideas on how you, the average american peon, can advocate killing our elected officials with impunity!.

I hope someone reminds her of these statments when someday she’s in a nursing home and her biggest concern is when is someone going to come change her diaper.

I guess Rosie’s bringing Paxil Back…

Mallard T. Drake on March 7, 2007 at 1:08 PM

Is it just me, or does anybody else find it ironic that two of the biggest spewers of hatred and bile are named Joy and Rosie?

ReubenJCogburn on March 7, 2007 at 1:09 PM

Barbara often looks so uncomfortable while Joy/Rosie are spouting their hate-filled garbage, they’re sounding more and more like Kos every day.

I almost feel sorry for Ms. Walters.

Almost.

dalewalt on March 7, 2007 at 1:09 PM

Rosie is depressing, and now what I warned you people would happen is happening..Because Rosie can’t get beyond herself, we will hear about every minute detail of her made up illnesses..She is the type of person that develops symptoms of illnesses she reads or hears about…

And now that I am on a rant: Let’s talk about her menopause or need to talk about it….When it is brought up, it is never in an appropriate segment, it just gets blurted out..tiresome and stupid is how I would sum her up.

Pam on March 7, 2007 at 1:13 PM

dalewalt, she created that monster and she needs to answer for it. I did love the rant about A.I today…Rosie said they were mad and wouldn’t let them use their clips..Joy/ Rosie went off and Babs pointed out that you can’t insult someone with the left hand and ask for a favor with the right! She also made it clear that Rosie’s views are her own and should not be constued as those of The View.

Pam on March 7, 2007 at 1:17 PM

she began being treated for depression after the Columbine school shootings and hangs upside down for up to a half-hour a day to improve her mental state.

Wow, there are so many things I could say in response to that,but I digress.

vcferlita on March 7, 2007 at 1:17 PM

If this was a liberal website… we would be saying…

“Rosie depressed? I hope she kills herself and it would help end the stupidity!”

But we aren’t liberals. We are conservatives. We use common sense, responsibility, values, traditions, and compassion.

msipes on March 7, 2007 at 1:18 PM

I recall people rooting for the clot when Nixon suffered a bout of phlebitis. A random search turned up a shrink who thought the phlebitis was psychosomatic. Not all the way to rooting for the clot, but I’m sure with more time we could turn that up, too.

Attila (Pillage Idiot) on March 5, 2007 at 4:46 PM

Tammy Faye single-handedly kept the cosmetics industry in the black. It is questionable as to whether Joy Behar has ever made a positive contribution to our society like that.

This was your contribution to our ‘Beautiful Woman Offset’ program.

We can all now look appreciatively at a beautiful woman today. If anyone complains, we can inform them that we’ve already offset our admiring of said beautiful woman by watching Rosie and Joy today.

Canadian Infidel on March 7, 2007 at 3:15 PM

Well, personally I’m still occasionally puzzled as to who the hell Joy Behar is and why she’s on TV.

This occurs infrequently. I mostly don’t care.

It’s a psychosomatic soul clot.

But…that disease requires an actual soul.

That is a classical sympton of a leftist-liberal, full of hate, hostility, and arrogance.

Kid from Brooklyn on March 7, 2007 at 4:11 PM

She’s one to talk. Compare their careers.

Behar is a washed-up, has-been comedienne turned panelist (might as well be on the Gong Show) and Cheney has had various roles in the White House, including Chief of Staff and elected twice as Vice President.

In 20 years, Dick will be gone, but his estate will be collecting more in interest income then Behar can earn in one year working.

WORD.

I guess men, we singular non-entities in the View world, must not get depressed…Unless of course if you’re centrist or conservative, in which case they wholly endorse a good case of the blues for us rotten b****rds.

Lord knows how Ian and Allah have been able to ward a case of the screaming meemies off in watching this crew in action on a regular basis.

Notice how the audience laughs at this? We are never going to win those types over if we stoop to the tactics of the left. We must lead by example. Perhaps we should send some flowers to Joy? Maybe we can have a big Cum Bah Ya group sing along? Oh, oh, oh, I know! Lets crucify Ann Coulter on the White House lawn! We”l do Cheney too and make it a two-fer!! That’ll prove how understanding conservatives really are!

csdeven on March 7, 2007 at 6:27 PM

“Psychosomatic” – there’s nothing more moronic than morons using big words they don’t know/understand.

Barbara Walters has morphed into an incredible idiot. It’s really a shame to go out like that. What explains this?

How and why bats hang upside down all day…

First of all, it puts them in an ideal position for takeoff. Unlike birds, bats can’t launch themselves into the air from the ground. Their wings don’t produce enough lift to take off from a dead stop, and their hind legs are so small and underdeveloped that they can’t run to build up the necessary takeoff speed.

Entelechy on March 7, 2007 at 6:37 PM

How and why bats hang upside down all day…

This is why I love this site. I come for the liberal-baiting; I stay for the education.

Entelechy, I hope you aren’t suggesting that specimen of talk show lipo-mass could fly by any means short of an extra-wide Boeing aisle seat.

SailorDave on March 7, 2007 at 6:52 PM

How are you SailorDave? I come and stay for the edutainment. How’s that for a ‘big’ and new word, or a twofer?

Maybe she’ll fly psychosomatically and Ms. Behar will explain it all.

On a serious note, clinical depression can be devastating.

However, someone this ‘famous’ and ‘beautiful’ shouldn’t announce to the world “upside-down” activities. It’s simply too “provoking”, as our friends on the Left claim.

Entelechy on March 7, 2007 at 7:08 PM

Can someone just please shut those women up? I can’t even read the posts anymore – those women make me so crazy.

pullingmyhairout on March 7, 2007 at 7:10 PM

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not ridiculing her actual or theoretical psychological issues. I’m mocking her very essence.

I like to cut straight to the chase on these types of things.

SailorDave on March 7, 2007 at 7:17 PM

It takes an empathetic person to feel the pain that others feel. It’s a real window into Rosie’s personality.

From CS Lewis
from http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3a1190b704d3.htm

“And the prophecy I make is this. To nine out of ten of you the choice which could lead to scoundrelism will come, when it does come, in no very dramatic colours. Obviously bad men, obviously threatening or bribing, will almost certainly not appear. Over a drink, or a cup of coffee, disguised as triviality and sandwiched between two jokes, from the lips of a man, or woman, whom you have recently been getting to know rather better and whom you hope to know better still- just at the moment when you are most anxious not to appear crude, or naïf or a prig- the hint will come. It will be the hint of something which the public, the ignorant, romantic public, would never understand: something which even the outsiders in your own profession are apt to make a fuss about: but something, says your new friend, which “we”- and at the word “we” you try not to blush for mere pleasure- something “we always do.”

Sadly Rosie has caused the View’s ratings to jump. People just want to see the drama and hear who the freakshows will slander next. It’s kind of like a trainwreck–you don’t want to watch but you get sucked in.
