Ode To Joy

I haven't agreed with comic Joy Behar since the late 1980's when she told me I shouldn't marry my husband because he was too skinny. She added, "He doesn't have two legs, he has one leg cut in half."

I could never figure out why Ms. Behar thought a skinny husband would make a bad husband. Perhaps she thought his two half-legs couldn't carry my fat ass out of a burning building.

But, in 20 years, my skinny boyfriend has ballooned into a thin husband so I think I won that round.

Two decades later, Joy Behar's logic still escapes me. What she recently said about President-elect Obama on The View, however, just pisses me off.

I think it’s very unpatriotic for a lot of people to put him down already before the guy has even had a chance.

To quote John Stossel, "Gimme a break!"

Now, I don't have a problem with ideologues but I do have a serious problem with hypocritical ideologues. Where was Joy Behar's support for President-elect Bush from the time he "stole" the election from Al Gore until his inauguration that January? Was her very public criticism of him unpatriotic?

I didn't vote for Barak Obama but I've also said repeatedly that I hope I'm wrong about the man and he turns out to be a great president. Joy Behar never gave W the same consideration.

Besides, if Brian was too skinny to be my husband than why isn't Barack too skinny to be president?
