During an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, NBC News' David Shuster mocked co-host Joy Behar of ABC's The View for her criticism of MSNBC host Chris Matthews' recent comments about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in which Matthews attributed Clinton's political success to her husband's "mess around." Shuster stated, "Yeah, you know, Joy Behar is well known for her political analysis" and then rolled his eyes, before purporting to "impersonat" Behar.

1. I like Shuster, but he should know better ....

Are tweety-birds on the endangered list because MSNBC is really circling the wagons around the bird brain

2. And there was Joe talking about the 'free marketplace of ideas' in

his defense of Chris and his attack on the 'girls' at the view - and I was wondering if he did not see the absolute irony of his statement. I was beginning to soften on him a bit when he seemed to be moving a little more towards the center (his spot about Bush being a moron, etc), but now that the surge is 'working', I think he feels it is OK to swim back to that sinking ship. I almost dislike people like Joe and CHris more than the Rushes, O'Reillys, Hannitys, Coulters, because we at least know what those whack jobs are going to think and say. Joe and CHris (et al) though, tend to vacillate according to the polls and condemn the administration when it is au currant and then reverse themselves when that changes.

3. sadly

after watching Joy Behar attempt to question Ron Paul about his stance on choice, I'm pretty much in agreement with his comments about her political analysis. She made a fool of herself, and did no favors to those of us who believe in choice.
I could have done a better job - and I'm Miss Nobody from Nowhere.

4. Do you disagree with Behar because you hate Hillary?

It's the only explanation I can come up with, because Behar simply criticized the idiotic comment Matthews made, that Hillary is where she is because her husband messed around.

What is your opinion about Matthews comments?

5. are you unable to read?

I'm making a point about Joy Behar. Is that a problem for you? Why the need to be so pugnacious?
