Joy Behar and Her 'Cooler Head'
• Politico takes a look at how Joy Behar has settled into her role at HLN. In the profile, Behar, who is using much of Glenn Beck's old HLN staff, says, "I don't know if I should rat them out, but they are much more on my page than Glenn Beck 's."

Behar: Beck, Conservatives Like Kids 'Who Eat Their Own Boogers': PHOTO
Joy Behar, HLN's conservative-basher of record, today derided conservatives as immature bullies who smell bad and pick their noses. Obama, by Behar's account is the smart kid in class who knows all the answers but keeps letting the bullies push him around. Her bully characterization is astoundingly hypocritical, given that she goes on to suggest that Obama bully Glenn Beck and other conservative commentators into silence. And the President hardly seems like the kid on the playground "least...

Joy Behar Needs News Expert; Gets Me Instead: PHOTO
Tonight, at 9 PM ET, I’ll be making my “News Expert” debut on The Joy Behar Show , which you can see on Headline News Network, or HLN. The producer told me the taping is kind of like a “Wacky Dinner Party with Joy”, i.e. My Life Long Dream Come True. I’ll also be on with Andy Borowitz , the creator of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air , who will no doubt tell me all the details about the upcoming show’s movie. (Hopefully, Carlton will finally agree to be in...

Behar Educates Joe the Plumber on Gays: PHOTO
“Joe the Plumber” still has some archaic ideas when it comes to homosexuality. He appeared on The Joy Behar Show Monday to talk about his feelings regarding gays and lesbians, reiterating his stance that he doesn't want “those people” around his children. Joy Behar took the opportunity to educate Republican activist “Joe” on a few stats, telling him that he is confusing gays with pedophiles and that 70% of pedophiles are straight men. Behar also accuses “Joe” of vilifying gays,...

Behar: Is Janet Napolitano Gay?
Should Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano be expecting an apology? On The Joy Behar Show Monday night, as the conversation between Behar and two Gay guests, actors Bryan Bratt and columnist Dan Savage, turned to Gay Rights, Behar mentioned that she had been talking about the subject with Napolitano on ABC’s The View earlier in the day. After Savage mentioned that Napolitano has taken action on behalf of immigrant widows but not yet on Gay Rights, Behar shot back: “Now why...

In the Observer: Bloomberg's Big Plans, McCain's Angry Campaign
Jason Horowitz considers what will become of the McCain campaign now that attacking the press has failed to work as a strategy. As one former adviser says, "angry campaigns tend not to win."

Transom Week In Review: Armin Amiri's New Diner; Steve Dunleavy's Farewell Party; Robert De Niro and a Grittier New York
At a lunch in honor of Bill Maher's Religuous, we solicited opinions on religion and religious person Sarah Palin from Kathleen Turner, Joy Behar, Janeane Garofalo, and Andre Balazs.  We took a walk down a rather dissolute memory lane with David Carr and Tom Arnold at a Soho House celebration for the film adaptation of Toby Young's How to Lose Friends and Alienate People (bonus: info on star Kirsten Dunst's burgeoning writing career!). Robet De Niro expressed ambivalence about a poorer--but grittier!-

Amanda Lorber From MTV's The Paper Reviews Bill Maher's Religulous
New feud! Remember Amanda Lorber, the loveable know-it-all from MTV's The Paper? Well, she saw Bill Maher's Religulous this weekend, and has taken to YouTube to express her thoughts on it, including some great zings like "You would have to be...in love with Bill Maher not to sort of despise him by the end of the film." Amanda Lorber is 18 years old, and certainly the only MTV reality star ever to use (or know) the phrase "monotheistic religions." We need to keep an eye on this girl, because she's defi

Again, Let's Stop Pretending Aasiya Hassan's Murder Is About Islam [Complicated Conversations]
The news that Muzzammil Hassan decapitated his wife Aasiya Hassan left far too many people dropping the words "honor killing" and intimating that his crime was somehow prompted by his religion. newVideoPlayer("/brigittegabriel_jez.flv", 506, 423,""); Take this absurd, insulting (laughing?) interview on last Friday's season premiere of Real Time with Bill Maher with Lebanese-American activist Brigitte Gabriel.

Obama's Run Documented in HBO's 'By the People'
"Running for president is like being an astronaut.

What's Hot on SlashControl: Bill O'Reilly on The View
It's always fun when Bill O'Reilly visits The View . Bob posted about it yesterday, too, talking about how weird Whoopi was acting . My first thought whenever O'Reilly visits The View is Joy Behar. She always looks like she'd rather be anywhere else but sitting next to him. But I suppose she puts up with it -- and has no choice in the matter -- because O'Reilly and Barbara Walters have been friends for a long time, and Barbara, of course, has the final say on who gets on the show and who...
