Follow-Up

Yesterday I posted an item about The View co-host Joy Behar saying something dumb about Miss Colorado's appearance in the talent competition of the recent Miss America pageant. Today on the show, Ms. Behar said she wasn't paying close attention to the pageant broadcast or the conversation going on around her and did not know Miss Colorado was in her work clothes to offer a monologue drawn from her experience as a nurse.

On the one hand, one can certainly sympathize with Ms. Behar not paying attention to the conversation on The View. On the other, ABC is writing her checks to do that and so she should probably come up with another defense of her remarks.
