Comedienne Sandra Bernhard called Bristol Palin a hooker on Wednesday's "The Joy Behar Show."
This was just a part of a televised hatefest reminiscent of the Lindsay Lohan film "Mean Girls" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JOY BEHAR, HOST: After weeks of speculation that the low-scoring Bristol Palin could actually take the "Dancing With The Stars`" win, the nation breathed the sigh of relief last night as Jennifer Grey was crowned the champion (ph). With me now to talk about this and other stories in the news are Sandra Bernhard, comedian and singer, Rebecca Dana, senior correspondent for the Daily Beast, and Andrea Marcovicci, singer and actress. I called you Andrea. Is it Andrea or Andrea?
ANDREA MARCOVICCI, SINGER: It`s Andrea.
BEHAR: Andrea?
MARCOVICCI: Yes. You did great.
BEHAR: So, Sandra, were you ready to shoot the TV last night?
SANDRA BERNHARD, COMEDIAN: I twittered for the entire two hours. My eyeballs were falling out of my head. I said, first of all, I said, Cander and Ebb would not allow this.
(LAUGHTER)
BERNHARD: You cannot be part of the Palin legacy and dance to Cander and Ebb in a cage.
BEHAR: Yes.
BERNHARD: I mean, Bob Fosse, he turned over in his grave.
BEHAR: I know. What about Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers? They`re dead, you know. They died last night.
BERNHARD: Yes. They died and came back and died for the third time.
BEHAR: What`s her name, Bristol on today`s "View" said something like --
BERNHARD: How did she do it? How did she get to New York to do the "View"?
BEHAR: I don`t know.
REBECCA DANA, SENIOR CORRESPONDENT, THE DAILY BEAST: They have their own plane, these people.
BERNHARD: She`s such a hooker. She got on a flight after losing last night.
Readers are reminded that in February 2008, former MSNBCer David Shuster was suspended for saying, "But doesn't it seem like Chelsea [Clinton's] sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?"
Somehow one doubts there'll be a similar uproar at CNN over this, but I digress:
(CROSSTALK)
BEHAR: How did they deal with ABC? I think that the losers come on the "View" and they dance. She said that her mother likes her being in the cage.
BERNHARD: This is what kills me --
DANA: Well, maybe that will prevent her from having another baby.
Readers are reminded that Dana is a senior correspondent for Tina Brown's Daily Beast, but once again I'm digressing:
BERNHARD: She`s supposed to be the spokesperson for abstinence and yet wears candies shoes which like you say -- I`m wearing these (INAUDIBLE). I`m thrown (ph) out of a car at full speed. You know what I mean? These are like total like hooker shoes. By all means, have candies underwrite abstinence.
BEHAR: You know, there`s a backlash on me because a lot of people when I`m talking to my friends are saying, she`s a sweet girl, she worked hard, and she`s a nice girl.
BERNHARD: Who worked hard? Are you kidding me, she worked hard?
BEHAR: Do you think she worked hard, Rebecca?
DANA: I mean, look, I`m not a professional dancer, but this chick is dancing in like Keds. She abandoned the high heels even. This is not a hard worker. She can do this a little bit, but that`s about --
Honestly, is this the new feminism being espoused at the Daily Beast? This chick is dancing in like Keds. This is not a hard worker.
Can you imagine the outrage if Greta Van Susteren had a group of women on her program besmirching Chelsea Clinton this way? There'd be immediate calls for disciplinary action:
BERNHARD: But that was -- the whole thing was the elbows and the tuchus.
DANA: I think she worked hard.
BERNHARD: She`s a young kid, honey. Yes, I`m a young kid.
DANA: She worked about as hard with "Dancing with the stars" as Sarah Palin did learning her geopolitics.
Nice bash at the former governor, but the real hypocrisy was right around the corner:
MARCOVICCI: I just want to know if Chelsea Clinton could go on next year so we could basically be voting for Bill.
(LAUGHTER)
DANA: Yes, I like reality television as a proxy for national politics.
MARCOVICCI: Wouldn`t that be fun?
BERNHARD: Good news. Chelsea Clinton wouldn`t even know what "Dancing With The Stars" was. Believe me, that girl is too smart for that crap.
(CROSSTALK)
DANA: Chelsea Clinton was a ballerina for many years.
MARCOVICCI: Oh, that will disqualify her.
Nothing but reverance for Chelsea while this gaggle of clucking hens heap scorn upon Bristol.
And Maureen Dowd thinks conservative women are mean.
Liberal scu&bags will always be liberal scu&bags.
IMHO
Garbage girls.
Stopped right there.
This person is obviously a jerk.
Gutter Slut take a number, next ,diseased Bernhard says what?
Why worry about it? Nobody watches these shows, I wouldn’t even know these things are said if people didn’t post them on internet sites. It is like the old saying “if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, how do we know it fell?”. As their rating get lower and lower they’ll keep cutting down more trees in the hope someone will listen. In the end, if no one listens or pays attention they’ll dry up and blow away.
I’m afraid if I turned my TV on and Sandra Berhard and Joy Behar were both on at the same time it would explode. I’m sure of it.
They are both ignorant pigs. Who cares what they think or say? They are like the little kid in school that has to say bad things to get any attention.
These has-beens should thank their lucky stars they have the Palins around to keep themselves relevant.
Catty and immature remarks! They are as childish as 11 year old girls! I have no idea how Behar could have her own show! Sandra Bernhard is a has-been. I have no idea who Dana is.
But they’re all idiots!
The Regime Media gives her a little attention every few years when it serves their purpose of character assassination.
This ugly lesbo skank has the audacity to talk about ANYBODY??
She's ugly enough as is, but when she opens her mouth and the true bitch is revealed...ugh.
My old grandma, may she rest in peace, had a descriptive term for persons that look like the Bernhard person: she always said their face was "snurled up".
I'm sure it has it's roots in the word "surly", but wherever it comes from, it accurately describes Bernhard.
She is truly a class of ugly unto herself.
This is an outrage! Candidate’s children have always been off limits unless they went public themselves.
I’m sure these women would just love to read the 19th chapter of “Let Me be a Women” by Elisabeth Elliot.
She was the wife of Jim Elliot; one of the five martyered missionaries,killed by the Incas January 8, 1956.
Chapter 19 is titled: “Is Submission Stifling?”
Remember the statement by Jim that quoted so often;
“He is no fool who gives up that which he cannot keep, to gain that which he cannot lose.”
Bernhard is only ugly looking dude.
If ugly could be harnessed, Sarah Bernho and Joyless Beho would be able to power the entire Eastern seaboard.
