I hope Joy Behar will stick a fork in this annoying cretin.

Tonight’s show

Orly Taitz, queen of the “birther movement,” squares off with Joy. Taitz is one of the leaders of a movement that questions whether President Obama was born a citizen of the United States. Also, actress Alicia Silverstone, and in our political roundtable, “Wonder Woman” Lynda Carter and Republican strategist Leslie Sanchez. Tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HLN.

(Alicia Silverstone wrote a vegan cookbook. And, yes, it sounds kooky to have Wonder Woman in the political roundtable ... but listen to what Lynda Carter said about Sarah Palin last year:

http://www.afterellen.com/blog/dorothysnarker/wonder-woman-speaks-her-mind

Last week, when asked offhandedly by Philadelphia Magazine what she thought of Palin being compared to her most-recognized character, Wonder Woman, the 57-year-old star pulled no punches:

"Don’t get me started. She’s the anti-Wonder Woman. She’s judgmental and dictatorial, telling people how they’ve got to live their lives. And a superior religious self-righteousness … that’s just not what Wonder Woman is about. Hilary Clinton is a lot more like Wonder Woman than Mrs. Palin. She did it all, didn’t she?"

But the daughter of Hippolyta wasn't done yet — not by a long shot.

"No one has the right to dictate, particularly in this country, to force your own personal views upon the populace — religious views. I think that is suppressive, oppressive, and anti-American. We are the loyal opposition. That’s the whole point of this country: freedom of speech, personal rights, personal freedom. Nor would Wonder Woman be the person to tell people how to live their lives. Worry about your own life! Worry about your own family! Don’t be telling me what I want to do with mine.

"I like John McCain. But this woman — it’s anathema to me what stands for. I think America should be very afraid. Very afraid. Separation of church and state is the one thing the creators of the Constitution did agree on — that it wasn’t to be a religious government. People should feel free to speak their minds about religion but not dictate it or put it into law.

"What I don’t understand, honestly, is how anyone can even begin to say they know the mind of God. Who do they think they are? I think that’s ridiculous. I know what God is in my life. Now I am sure that she’s not all just that. But it’s enough to me. It’s enough for me to have a visceral reaction. And it makes me mad.

"People need to speak up. Doesn’t mean that I’m godless. Doesn’t mean that I am a murderer. What I hate is this demonization of everybody but one position. You’re un-American because you’re against the war. It’s such bullshit. Fear. It’s really such a finite way of thinking about God to think that your measly little mind can know the mind of God. It’s a very little God that way. I think that God’s bigger. I don’t presume to know his mind. Or her mind."

8. "... so what ... who cares?"
YES ... if clips from the show make it onto other shows, it SHOULD be an SNL skit.

11. LOL!
I hope Orly isn't in the studio with her - they'll have to drag her out kicking and screaming.

2. Orly is the Energizer Bunny
There's no stopping her or containing her. The 20 grand she just got assessed by Judge Land won't matter anymore to her than a fart in a frying pan. She will, however, eventually spin herself into oblivion, but it will take a little time. Enjoy the spectacle, don't take her too seriously, and remember to point and laugh whenever possible.

3. Joy doesn't need to say a word. Let the Queen of Crazy run like the energizer bunny.

12. I record Joy's show every night
Zip through the commercials and the Kate +8 bullshit. Guests like Larry David are priceless as Orly surely will be in her own way.

Joy is a winner for CNN and the perfect replacement for Beck. Sweet justice.
