It’s a qualified success, but only because Joy’s guest-hosting and had to choke down the more bilious sentiments she’d have happily barfed up if they’d been equals on a panel. The transcript’s here if you’d rather read than watch. A highlight:
BEHAR: So are you saying that if — that if George Clooney asked you out on a date, you’d say no, because he’s a big liberal?
COULTER: Correct.
BEHAR: Really?
COULTER: Yes.
BEHAR: Well, what kind of men do you like?
COULTER: I like men, i.e. conservatives. I don’t want them checking with the U.N. to get, you know, a resolution before making a move.
Exit quotation from 5:37 in: “Are you frightened or gleeful that Rush Limbaugh seems to be the head of your party these days?”

Ann tore Joy (old woman) Bahar apart.
I watched it and I love it – Ann is way too smart for Bahar.
Way too smart.
jake-the-goose on February 20, 2009 at 1:26 PM
Direct hit!
Vashta.Nerada on February 20, 2009 at 1:27 PM
Just finished watching this on Newsbusters.
Ann was awesome. Joy was completely out of her league.
JayHaw Phrenzie on February 20, 2009 at 1:27 PM
That was painful to watch last night. Coulter was trying her best not to make Behar look like a complete moron. But she failed.
rockmom on February 20, 2009 at 1:27 PM
Meow,zee catfight!
canopfor on February 20, 2009 at 1:28 PM
That just wasn’t fair…Joy needs 4 to 1 odds and scream-downs to have a balance discussion. Joy should put a patent on mouth wide open and stammering!
aigle on February 20, 2009 at 1:30 PM
I asked Ann to marry me once when she was in Denver for a book signing and speech. It was an honor to be turned down[Laura Ingraham also turned me down] I guess I just have to learn rejection,,,working on it.
retiredeagle on February 20, 2009 at 1:30 PM
She could have just left it that she likes men. Liberal men is really a bit of an oxymoron. Liberal males, yes. Liberal men – haven’t been seen since Athens was in real power – and we know about them don’t we…
kybowexar on February 20, 2009 at 1:31 PM
Why-o-why in the world is Behar sitting in for LK? This has got to be a worse idea than Alec Baldwin trying to do talk radio.
Jamewah on February 20, 2009 at 1:32 PM
AP, thanks for the transcript – that was a kind of you to spare us Behar’s unique voice.
kybowexar on February 20, 2009 at 1:32 PM
Just starting to watch,and
Anne is using the Liberals
policies against them,haha!
Anne’s right!
Hopey hasn’t changed nothing!
El Code Pinko’s must be beside themselves,
as in BETRAYED by OBAMA!
canopfor on February 20, 2009 at 1:32 PM
I read the transcript at NewsBusters earlier. Seems the Larry King producers were vying for fireworks between the two and some buzz, but instead Behar got a smackdown by Coulter. No contest.
conservative pilgrim on February 20, 2009 at 1:34 PM
Yes, thanks for the transcript
Can stand to listen to Behar
kangjie on February 20, 2009 at 1:35 PM
Insanity! Only explanation as to why Liberal twits continue to take on Ann Coulter.
Keemo on February 20, 2009 at 1:36 PM
Ugh…did Coulter feel like a pro baseball team playing a park/rec team and trying not to win?
Hell, talking to a moron like Behar, you would automatically have to talk slower and skip larger words.
Exit question: Is Behar the only person you could find to sub for Larry? You could dig up the recently killed chimp, prop him in the seat, stick a ballpoint in his paw and he would still do a better job than Joy Behar.
Bishop on February 20, 2009 at 1:37 PM
Clooney is a man? He’s an aphrodite.
Entelechy on February 20, 2009 at 1:37 PM
Behar is probably screaming “That $#%$& Bitch!” right about now.
GarandFan on February 20, 2009 at 1:38 PM
Well, they wanted a centerist, you know – fairness and all.
Vashta.Nerada on February 20, 2009 at 1:38 PM
I watched some of this last night. Had to change the channel when the clueless cow Joy Behar couldn’t get it when Ann Coulter was trying to get it through her thick skull that the single mothers she refers to as being societies biggest problem was unwed mothers, not divorcees and career women who have decided they can’t let their biological clock run out. This scanky wench is a complete idiot!
TrickyDick on February 20, 2009 at 1:38 PM
That really was painful to watch, because Behar is terrible at interviews. All I heard was essentially ‘here, respond to this unsupported generalization.’
Slublog on February 20, 2009 at 1:39 PM
Was at an event a few years ago, and Ann had the audience (well, most of them) eating out of her hand…she has wit…and is in the Dennis Miller league when it comes to weaving in something esoteric but perfectly appropriate into her conversation from time to time. In other words, if you are well read, you understand the full meaning.
She can be caustic, at times, sometimes, downright “mean.” But, that is because she does not suffer fools. Nor should any Conservative. Too much at stake.
Behar? A fool. Ann was actually somewhat gracious in this encounter. I just love how vacuous Liberals are. They got the slogans and catch phrases down…but nothing of substance to back them up. In other words…they, too, are fools.
coldwarrior on February 20, 2009 at 1:39 PM
I am a religious man who believes in Heaven and Hell. My hell would be watching endless hours of the View with no way of changing the channel.
I loved how Ann catches Joy generalizing what Rush says, and why his listeners tune into his program, even though she hasn’t listened to his show. Although she did work “with him” 20 years ago…uhhhh.
WheatGrinder on February 20, 2009 at 1:40 PM
I’m not a fan of Coulter by ANY stretch of the imagination.
But like her or not, even her critics, such as me, can’t deny that the woman is very intelligent. Thus, pairing her up against that dumb yenta from the View isn’t even remotely close to a fair fight.
[Not that I'm complaining.]
Vyce on February 20, 2009 at 1:41 PM
So, you think Clooney is the goddess of love and sex?
firepilot on February 20, 2009 at 1:41 PM
Am I the only man here who involuntarily reacts to Joyless Behar the same way I would involuntarily react to a 30 minute swim in freezing cold water?
BPD on February 20, 2009 at 1:41 PM
You and me both, sista Coulter. The Brilliant Blonde strikes again.
RepubChica on February 20, 2009 at 1:42 PM
So, that’d be a hermaphrodite?
coldwarrior on February 20, 2009 at 1:43 PM
Behar can’t keep up. Don’t swim with sharks honey.
Dr. Manhattan on February 20, 2009 at 1:44 PM
Joy is still a beyotch. And she’s retarded, too.
In fact, I’m sure legitimate retards are pi$$ed that she makes them look so bad.
Go Ann!

A brightly colored butterfly (Argynnis aphrodite) of North America.

corndog on February 20, 2009 at 1:44 PM
I agree with Coulter a lot, but she’s just too glib to take sometimes. Can’t listen to Behar at all so here’s another thanks for the transcript. Rush gets a lot more credit than he deserves, and what’s funny is it’s the dems who are giving him the credit.
scalleywag on February 20, 2009 at 1:44 PM
Either a hermaphrodite or the Home Coming Queen at GWU.
WheatGrinder on February 20, 2009 at 1:45 PM
Not cool.
scalleywag on February 20, 2009 at 1:45 PM
I’d rather lose a few book sales than be “interviewed” by the incarnated incompetence of a cultural black hole like Behar.
Does Coulter shoot fish in a barrel on weekends?
profitsbeard on February 20, 2009 at 1:45 PM
LOl, that’s what I was thinking. I thought she was taking it easy on her. I stopped watching halfway through because the fight was already over.
Notorious GOP on February 20, 2009 at 1:47 PM
I was watching at a sushi bar with the sound off. Joy Behar held up to the camera and put down Ann Coulter’s new book so fast that you would have to watch the clip in slo-mo to see she had done it.
Marcus on February 20, 2009 at 1:47 PM
I used to think Clooney was attractive-til I heard his views & he couldn’t shut up about them.
Now every time I see him, I recognize him for the douche bag he really is.
He is a really ugly person.
Badger40 on February 20, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Behar is a great “roll” model.
mrrrow!
Y-not on February 20, 2009 at 1:48 PM
Behar was expecting a treadmill like Hasselbeck; I’m sure her liberal brain really does think that conservatives are mindless drones quoting the Bible 24/7.
Bishop on February 20, 2009 at 1:49 PM
Every,Tom,Dick,and Harry,hehe,
oh gawd that was good!
And sure Behar,loved the line,
“I’m not that political”!
Notice,that the Liberal,has zero
sense of humour!
canopfor on February 20, 2009 at 1:49 PM
corndog on February 20, 2009 at 1:44 PM
You picked the version you wanted and I stand by mine.
Entelechy on February 20, 2009 at 1:49 PM
Get a thick skin.
I know plenty of people who are genuinely retarded. And yes-they are pi$$ed at Joy.
Badger40 on February 20, 2009 at 1:49 PM
The joke is Behar’s too stupid to realize she was owned by Coulter. This isn’t even fair. This matchup is like Foreman-Frazier from way back when.
Down goes Behar, down goes Behar…
JammieWearingFool on February 20, 2009 at 1:49 PM
The only thing that would have made it better was if they could have managed to squeezed crusty old Joy into a black, leather minidress.
bloggless on February 20, 2009 at 1:50 PM
She probably thought differently when she dated Andrew Stein, or maybe he didn’t check with the U.N. Don’t know whether she considered Guccione liberal or conservative.
dedalus on February 20, 2009 at 1:50 PM
For what it’s worth, here’s what John Ziegler had to say about “The View” and Behar:
“Maybe the most interesting behind the scenes story was that Whoopi Goldberg came to my dressing room well before the show and spent about 20 minutes with me. Was incredibly nice. Very open-minded. She expressed a real interest in seeing the film. And for better or for worse I think that may have bought me some slack with her that she realized I was not some sort of raving nutjob. And, so I think she was pretty fair with me. Now, Joy Behar is, just like Sarah Palin is everything that conservatives will hope that she would be, Joy Behar is exactly in my brief experience with here exactly everything that conservatives would presume her to be in the negative. She’s an idiot, I frankly think she’s a bit of a b***h, and I think she, you know, I don’t think she has any clue about what the facts are. As a matter of fact, if she was able to come up with a way for people to look at food the way that she looks at facts she never would have had to work for Jenny Craig for all those years, I mean, ’cause she’d have the greatest weight-loss program in history. I mean, she just doesn’t care about facts.”
Pasalubong on February 20, 2009 at 1:50 PM
The questions from Joy were so stupid and some of the things she said were nasty.
Libertarian Joseph on February 20, 2009 at 1:51 PM
And there goes my lunch….
BPD on February 20, 2009 at 1:51 PM
The only thing that would have made it better was if they could have managed to squeezed crusty old Joy into a black, leather minidress.
*runs for the bathroom*
Bishop on February 20, 2009 at 1:51 PM
Behar is the opposite end of the bell curve,
It is so shocking for Behar to have the war in her face. Obama is still in Iraq and still spending on Iraq.
The other sleazy exposure is that Obama is now operating from info obtained by waterboarding confessions.
Waterboarding works. Obama is sold on it.
seven on February 20, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Behar is a cackling old hen, an old sea hag whose voice makes my shoulders hunch up in irritation with every word she speaks.
Otis B on February 20, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Ann is far more intelligent and classy than Behar.
JohnJ on February 20, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Why did Joy Behar even try? She never stood a chance against our Ann.
ctmom on February 20, 2009 at 1:52 PM
picture George Clooney trying to play the role Clint Eastwood played in Gran Torino…no way he could do it, too feminized.
that said, one easy comeback Liberals have, but can’t use, “George Bush went to the UN to get permission for the Iraq War and it was Bill Clinton who ignored the UN in going into Yugoslovia”
jp on February 20, 2009 at 1:53 PM
*BLECCHHHH*
Badger40 on February 20, 2009 at 1:54 PM
Does anyone know if George has a beard?
bloggless on February 20, 2009 at 1:54 PM
OMG! I saw this on YouTube last night/this morning and it was totally delicious watching Annie run circles around that Libtard Joy Bahar!
TheMightyQuinn on February 20, 2009 at 1:55 PM
I can see you’re confused. That was his liberal date you saw.
Badger40 on February 20, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Calling a mentally challenged person “retard” in my opinion is like calling a gay person a “fa$$ot” or a black person the n word. Just MHO. Now, calling her a cackling old hen or anold sea hag, that works!
scalleywag on February 20, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Holy cow…that wasn’t even remotely close. Go Ann. I love how absolutely unapologetic she is and how she will never ever take any liberal bait and instead toss it right back.
“Do you ever listen to Rush?”
“No but…I used to work for him 20 years ago…I know his routine.”
“So, you know better than 20 million people who listen to him on a daily basis…that’s more than Oprah…because you used to work with him 20 years ago?”
SO freaky deaky awesome.
Sarjex on February 20, 2009 at 1:56 PM
I tuned in expecting the same old drivel from Larry King. What I found was I got a bonafide cat fight. Ann Coulter definitely came out on top too. Very entertaining. Glad Larry decided to take a night off.
Poor poor Joy. LOL
JohnnyD on February 20, 2009 at 1:57 PM
Joy is WAAAAY out of her league here.
cabbageheat on February 20, 2009 at 1:57 PM
That’s what it is.
And I’ll stick with mine.
Badger40 on February 20, 2009 at 1:58 PM
My 14 year old son summed it up best:
“Ann Coulter totally owned newbs and pwn’d that other chick. And Ann Coulter is hot.”
No beta males in our house!
varnson on February 20, 2009 at 1:58 PM
scalleywag on February 20, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Ahoy there, matey – yaargh, ye scalleywag!
Behar is like sea salt being poured on an open wound. Her beady little eyes darting to and fro as she searches in vain for the words to trip her interviewee up.
Sea hag.
Otis B on February 20, 2009 at 1:59 PM
That was amazingly good. I love Ann Coulter and Behar makes the ideal foil for her.
thuja on February 20, 2009 at 1:59 PM
Oy. That is one image I do NOT want in my head.
conservative pilgrim on February 20, 2009 at 2:00 PM
So my question is, who would Ann go on a date with? I can think of a lot of wouldn’ts, but not too many woulds.
scalleywag on February 20, 2009 at 2:00 PM
I guess I’m just not as text-speak savvy as I thought.
WTF does that mean?
Badger40 on February 20, 2009 at 2:00 PM
I’m a conservative straight woman bur I would take Ann over George Clooney any day.
txag92 on February 20, 2009 at 2:00 PM
oops…. but nor bur
txag92 on February 20, 2009 at 2:01 PM
That should have been a palate cleanser and/or smack down. That was exhilarating.
Mommypundit on February 20, 2009 at 2:02 PM
LOL. Shiver me timbers and all that.
scalleywag on February 20, 2009 at 2:03 PM
Which is why she normally runs with a pack.
Mommypundit on February 20, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Joy is an absolute blow hard. IMHO she is in desperate need of a mind numbing, body quaking orgasim. Maybe then in her post coitus stuper she may see the error of her ways. However, I can’t think of anyone who would be willing to help her out with that. ;p
milwife88 on February 20, 2009 at 2:04 PM
she’s never been married right, is 40 something and attractive. Surely she’s had some boyfriends along the way, probably works alot though
jp on February 20, 2009 at 2:04 PM
I agree as a woman.
She has way bigger ba!!$ than any Hollywood liberal.
Badger40 on February 20, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Then we’ll agree to disagree. MHO = my humble opinion I think. I could be wrong as I’m just a scalleywag. :)
scalleywag on February 20, 2009 at 2:04 PM
I don’t want her shivering anywhere near my timbers.
Abby Adams on February 20, 2009 at 2:06 PM
of a GOBSMACK, I love that word.
scalleywag on February 20, 2009 at 2:06 PM
It was sort of like watching the Harlem Globetrotters take on an elementary school church basketball team.
And yeah. Coulter is *hoooot.*
*fans self*
Sarjex on February 20, 2009 at 2:07 PM
At what point do you think Joy realized she was in waaayyyy over her head?
pugwriter on February 20, 2009 at 2:10 PM
I am not sure who Anne would go out with, but I am sure of a few she would not go out with—
Keith Olberman – he might not count, cuz we said men.
Chris Matthews – not much of a thrill there.
Ted Danson – LOL!
Rosie O’Donnell – self explanatory
bloggless on February 20, 2009 at 2:12 PM
Joy Behar’s voice makes me want to cringe. When will they cancel that stupid show?
ObamatheMessiah on February 20, 2009 at 2:12 PM
An easier question:
Who would Joy go out with?
Anyone who asked her.
bloggless on February 20, 2009 at 2:13 PM
Joy Behar not does not like Rush because he “filibusters” too much… c’mon that’s funny right there….
Caper29 on February 20, 2009 at 2:14 PM
Quick MM, write another book. I would love to see the Joy/Michelle face off. MM would own her!
silenced majority on February 20, 2009 at 2:14 PM
Again, not the biggest fan of Coulter, but this was one of her best interviews. Behar kept attempting logical fallacies and Coulter shot them down one after the other. I love a girl who empty an entire magazine and not miss once.
MadisonConservative on February 20, 2009 at 2:15 PM
One of Anne’s best descriptions and smack downs of “The View” was her saying how she loves to appear on that TV program because it “always makes her feel young and pretty.”
viking01 on February 20, 2009 at 2:15 PM
I find it equally amusing that when going 1 on 1, Behar is trounced, cornered, and out of her element entirely. Without her little gang of hens, she’s worthless.
MadisonConservative on February 20, 2009 at 2:16 PM
Coulter rocks – her new book is a very good read, too. Joy is a “c-u-next-tues ” woman – why are lib women so fugly & unhappy?
Ris4victory on February 20, 2009 at 2:16 PM
Just remember,Anne is a Republican warrior,
in the political trenches daily,fight’n for
da cause of Conservatism!
Behar,got verbally slaughtered done good!
canopfor on February 20, 2009 at 2:17 PM
Very amusing the way libs assume that ALL women find a beta-pansy like Clooney attractive.
ExTex on February 20, 2009 at 2:17 PM
At what point do you think Joy realized she was in waaayyyy over her head?
pugwriter on February 20, 2009 at 2:10 PM
She still doesn’t know she was owned. She’s too stupid and arrogant for that.
I heard them lamenting on a “progressive” radio show this morning that Joy didn’t have the facts and statistics to rebut Ann’s and to stop Ann from throwing her bombs and smears.
First, Joy thinks she’s the smartest one in the room and I am sure thought that she would make Ann look bad with just her questions and witty repartee.
Second, there are no facts or statistics to rebut Ann. That’s why liberals never use them. Instead, they use emotion.
Jvette on February 20, 2009 at 2:18 PM
In the end, it is REAL masculine manly men that save the day.
Or real masculine manly women that save the beta males’ day.
Badger40 on February 20, 2009 at 2:19 PM
+1000 lololololol…..can’t stop laughing! Thanks. I needed to cheer up.
Cody1991 on February 20, 2009 at 2:20 PM
Which is one of my reasons as a woman not to trust other women.
Emotions are unreasonable. Facts are reasonable.
Badger40 on February 20, 2009 at 2:20 PM
What a woman (and what a contrast!) I don’t agree w/ Coulter on everything but ..wow.
Quetzal on February 20, 2009 at 2:21 PM
Very amusing the way libs assume that ALL women find a beta-pansy like Clooney attractive.
ExTex on February 20, 2009 at 2:17 PM
I was once a flaming idiot(lib) and thought Clooney attractive. Loved him on ER.
But, I left behind the land of fairy tales and unicorns when the World Trade Center towers hit the ground.
Now, I watch all these men who I used to think were attractive and I want to puke.
And notice how they all play these macho tough guys in their movies? Fairy tales and fantasy land, that’s where they live.
