Joy Behar Asks Dan Abrams If He Wrote Man Down To ‘Get Laid’

video
» 39 comments

Mediaite founder Dan Abrams continued his welcome-wagon tour around the ABC family today and continued to win the favor of the female contingent by promoting his book, Man Down, on The View. The interview started off with a bang as Joy Behar asked the question everyone (excluding us*) has been thinking: Did he just write the book to get laid?

While ABC censors cut the audio during the offensive question, a “source” in attendance confirms to Mediaite that Behar indeed question Abram’s intentions to “get laid.” Abrams quickly responded that it was a book he wrote “as a lawyer,” but the ladies kept needling him (“You’re getting so red!”) until he had to explain that he’s currently dating someone who “appreciates the book.”

With that out of the way, the hosts began questioning Abrams on the various claims in the book. Of particular interest was the section that claimed women were better broadcasters (a chapter that mentions Barbara Walters, incidentally) and the one that said they were better politicians. Abrams was asked why, if that were true, there weren’t more opportunities for women in both fields. He responded that, sadly, a reoccurring theme in the book was that, while women better fit all the qualities that people want in a specific job, when asked, those same people would claim they’d prefer a man.

While there, Abrams also fulfilled his duties as ABC’s legal analyst, answering questions on Charlie Sheen’s child custody issues.

*We know that he actually wrote the book to fill it with subliminal messages commanding readers to buy ad space on Geekosystem.

    It appears the book is a joke. If Behar likes it, it must be written for teenage girls. What is Dan trying to do, gain favor with Pelosi and Boxer? These two women take female politicians lower than any man could go. Even Bill Clinton.

    Has Amazon begun Pre-Release Sales? Actually, I think I’ll wait until it hits the shelves. WalMart will probably be 80% off by Noon. Probably free if you buy a 25 pound bag of cat litter.

    I don’t know about banning, but they should certainly limit the number of accounts per person.

    his thesis doesn’t make much sense to me considering for the past thousand something years of human existence men have been the creators of science technology and medicine. This could easily be explained by the oppression of women during that time, but now they are advancing so I say I’ll believe it when I see it.

    When is your crayon coloring book coming out? I hear Sarah Palin is eagerly awaiting it’s arrival so she can brush up on her sentence composition…..in pictures of course — since she’s semi-illiterate.

    Sorry *most of the technology medicine, etc. Again, that could all be do to a problem with society, if so it should be corrected as women are gaining similar status as men and if women are able to step up to the plate in that instance they’ll overtake us. If not, then I’d say we’re pretty much equal in value to society.

    Not really. One gender has a uterus and bears/raises children. And multi-tasks. And lives longer. Is catching up in math/science testing scores. And is deemed more mature in terms of when they begin their primary education.

    Now, how society works is a whole other ball of wax. Depends on how fundamentalist one is in their religion that will shape their view of women and what they are perceived to be capable of.

    So far, the value to society seems to be to start wars, crash the economy, take away the rights of the other gender, drive poorly, etc.

  • Harry Flashman

    Dignity. Class. Style. Character.

    All very descriptive words, and none of them have a damn thing to do with Joy Behar.

    What a parasite.

    totally olby.

    how’s tricks at current, and FOK news? kinda slow, i take it.

    so we’re going this route then fine. Men have been the driving force behind 90% of every scientific in human history and as for the oppression bit, I think if you had your way you’d oppress our gender and perhaps. And lets not forget about how many great women leaders who have delved into starting wars and ruining their own civilizations. Queen Boudica warrior queen of the celts murdering and slaughtering romans and ultimately allowing her people to be subjected under roman authority. Queen Elizabeth I executed her rivals such as mary queen of scots. Margret Thatcher starting a pointless war in argentina. Indira Gandhi prime minister of India engaged in an idiotic war with pakistan and was the one that started the nuclear missile program in India. Isabel Martínez de Perón President of Argentina used the military to arrest so called subversives and spies. Queen Cleopatra let her entire kingdom to ruin at the hands of the Romans. Catherine the Great of Russia led her country into several wars and put down her own people with brutal oppression.
    You are not a feminist, a feminist believes in equality of the sexes. You’re an idiot who’s been so indoctrinated and fed so many lies about how great you are that you can’t see the facts in front of you. I’m sympathetic to the values of feminism, you are only sympthatic to them because you are a woman. I doubt you would have any sympathy for a community that you aren’t apart of you selfish pretentious bigot.

    Re: Joy Behar:
    She enjoys telling others what her opinion is and insulting everything that is not in her
    direct thinking. (Which is OK)-”But” She had some nerve to walk off the set when she and Whoppi,
    (who at one time did some questionable material on whites) didn’t agree with their guest.
    You have to give and take. The American public usually will not remember what these personalities
    say or do, no matter how insulting or degrading it is..ex-Charles Barklee was interview while he was
    playing for Phoenix at Phila.. The announcer asked him why he said or did something. His retort was,
    “BECAUSE I HATE WHITE PEOPLE”. Nothing was ever said regarding this comment at anytime.
    He was rewarded with a big job on ESPN. (+ the arrest with the hooker) Very good example for our youth. Let us level the playing field.??
