Adults?

Maybe I'm losing my sense of humor.

There was a time when I thought Joy Behar was funny. Where have those days gone?  Last night as I was flipping through channels and stopped when I saw Tim Gunn on her show. Mr Gunn is one of those rare people who I like even though I  have no idea why I like him. Maybe its because he reminds me a little bit my Dad.

Before last night I thought name calling and mocking people was beneath him. Apparently, I was wrong.

As I started listening to Ms. Behar and Mr Gunn I was quickly disturbed by the tone of the conversation. Maybe I imagined some of this but I could swear that they were actually giggling and tee-heeing about how much Michele Bachman (R Mn) reminded them of Sarah Palin.

Another question, why do liberals focus all their dislike on Ms  Palin? Technically right now she is just a lecturer with no real power; as far as I know. Shouldn't democratic dislike be focused on someone who is able to influence changes.

Back to the subject at hand; I don't get how Ms Palin and Ms Bachman could be linked other than political belief. Physically they are both attractive brunettes; but the similarities end there.  Ms Behar and Mr Gunn were also tickled that Ms Bachman used graphics in her rebuttal speech to the State of the Union speech as  Ms Palin has done in the past. How does that make them alike? Many politicians have used graphics to ake points. So I don't see the relevancy of that.

I get that Ms Bear and Mr Gunn don't like Ms Palin but is mocking really necessary? Is that how adults are supposed to behave? I don't think so.

Let's grow up America.
