The View

Exhibit A as to why pop-culture is the repository for all stupidity in America:

Joy Behar, on ABC's The View, said the following yesterday:

"I have a theory that you can’t find any saints anymore because of psychotropic medication. I think that [in] the old days, the saints were hearing voices and they didn’t have any Thorazine to calm them down. Now that we have all of this medication available to us, you can’t find a saint anymore."

When co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck, the show's solitary reasonable voice, pressed Behar to explain the example of Mother Teresa, Behar topped of her already insane rant with the following:

"That’s why Mother Teresa had issues. Let’s not forget, she didn’t really believe 100 percent like those saints who were hearing voices. She didn’t hear voices, So the church said ‘OK, she does good deeds. Let’s make her a saint.’ In the old days it used to be you heard voices. You can’t do that anymore."

Yikes! What can I say that hasn't already been said? Behar's stupidity, arrogance and capacity for making a total fool of herself, on full display here and everyday on The View is, quite simply, astounding.
