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."
