Muttonheads of the Week: Joy Behar and Eve Ensler
When I started this blog, every now and then I’d post about my “Idiot of the Week”. I’ve never liked using the term “idiot” because calling someone like Eugene Robinson an idiot is to demean the ancient and noble profession of idiotry. So I’ve some up with a new epithet: Muttonhead. The pickings were very easy this week.
Behold intellectual giants Joy Behar and Eve Ensler:
Joy Behar opens the segment by saying she “has” to quickly talk about Sarah Palin..then proceeds to talk about nothing else but Sarah Palin.
So, say you’ve just landed on this planet from Uranus and you have no idea who Sarah Palin is. You wouldn’t be blamed for wondering why the hell two people on TV spend four minutes bemoaning the fact that people talk about Sarah Palin too much on TV. Do Behar or Ensler see anything inconsistent in complaining about the attention paid Sarah Palin, all the while heaping more attention upon the erstwhile governor of Alaska? I am a big fan of Sarah Palin, but I do think other candidates are more qualified for the Presidency. That said, it wouldn’t bother me a bit if critics of Palin are still trying to find ways of not talking about her as she takes the oath of office in 2012.
One big problem these two Rhodes Scholars have with Palin is that she doesn’t believe in climate change. They talk about Palin’s skepticism as if she doesn’t believe in air. In the progressive ideology, there is no room for nuanced thought on matters such as climate change or, say, health care. You either believe in Harry and Nancy’s monstrosity or you want “tens of thousands of people” to die every year. You either believe malicious, evil mankind is warming the planet or you’re delusional, on the same level as holocaust deniers.
Ensler finds Palin’s skepticism “bizarre”. Behar, who in her spare time has apparently read every peer-reviewed scientific publication having to do with climatology published over the last thirty years, says that “every scientist of note” thinks that we’re in the middle of mankind-induced global warming. Go ahead and Google “scientists who don’t believe in global warming”. One of the first you’ll find is Dr. William Gray, probably the world’s most renowned hurricane expert. I’m pretty sure Dr. Gray is of “some note”. His prediction a few years back that we are entering a cooling period seems to have come to fruition. He’s one of many scientists who are skeptics of Al Gore’s holy war. And, yes, quite a few of them are “of some note”.
Apparently we don’t need peer reviewed science though, because Eve Ensler “feels” global warming.
Not to be one upped, Ensler says we all we have to do is go out and observe nature to see that the earth is broiling. I invite Eve Ensler to lug her sorry ass through the three and a half feet of nature that’s sitting in my driveway tonight. Eve opines that global warming is causing hurricanes and earthquakes. Really Eve? Earthquakes???? I had no idea you were a distinguished graduate of the Danny Glover School of Geophysics at the University of Jackassery. What are you working on now Eve, The Plate Tectonics Monologues?
And these two smug, condescending simpletons call Sarah Palin a moron?
Behar, ever classy, closes her insightful, clear eyed critique of Sarah Palin with a reference to Palin’s daughter getting “drilled” when she was sixteen.
That brought a chuckle chuckle chuckle from the feminist Ensler, who created V-Day, a movement to stop violence against women and girls. Hypocrisy, thy name is Eve.
And here’s a tip for you, Joy. Watch your back because when karma comes calling, its not going to be looking for Sarah Palin.
