Those Perfect Obamas

Joy Behar is thankful for the hilarious Joe Biden and the laughable Sarah Palin. They give her, and comediennes in general, targets for well directed humor.

The Obamas? Not so much, being perfect and all.

Says Behar (via Powerline) in response to a question from Larry King:

Yes. And all I can say is thank you for Joe Biden, because he is going to always give us some laughs. He'll say something crazy and out there, and it will be fun. And Sarah Palin, you know, we can always rely on her to come back and give us some material. But it is really not easy to make fun of the Obamas, because they're really -- they're kind of really perfect, aren't they?

It really is surprising to me that programmers from one of the major networks has not seen fit to counter the progressive slant of daytime television typically seen on programs such as Behar's "The View" and Oprah. If the greenback is the goal of corporate America, and if conservative viewpoints out muscle progressive ones in head to head competition (see talk radio and cable news) why are the networks so resistant to offer the programming?

Just a thought, but one plausible explanation is that television executives already have enough of their own money and they steadfastly refuse to be a conduit for dangerous conservative thought. (That Hasselbeck bimbo is easy enough to shout down!)

Continued Behar:

[...] I like John McCain very much, but I didn't want him to be president, so I had to do what I had to do.

ABC partisan entertainers trying to help decide an election? Nah, couldn't be!
