Orly Taitz Is Kee-Razy (And Proves It To Joy Behar)

» 6 comments

Screen shot 2009-10-14 at 8.21.15 AMWhy do people keep letting crazy Birther lady Orly Taitz on their TV shows? Maybe because she’s Rod Blagojevich say-anything kee-razy with a head of hair to match?

Joy Behar‘s show is new, and everyone needs the buzz, so there you have it: Orly Taitz was on Joy Behar last night, accusing President Barack Obama of “massive fraud” and waving around some highlighted binder like Betsy McCaughey about to sing Happy Birthday to the President. Apparently Taitz has a court date? In California? Questioning Obama’s birth? Because as an Israeli that makes perfect sense. Also, she’s a dentist.

Per Taitz: “This judge stated, this is a legitimate issue, and it’s important for the whole country, important for military.” Actually, California Judge David O. Carter set a tentative court date before ruling on a motion to dismiss. Taitz and co-complainant Gary Kreep (seriously) have yet to even prove that Judge Carter has jurisdiction to hear the case. Carter also admonished them to stop having their supporters call him to leave crazy messages: “You should know I’m not accepting those phone calls. They’re going to an answering machine and a secretary is deleting them,” Carter said.

Meanwhile, Taitz was fined $20,000 yesterday by U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land for filing “frivolous” lawsuits. So those legal chances are looking good.

It’s a nice, long clip — great facetime for Taitz — but Behar does a nice job of being the reasonable foil, offering facts and logic and then sitting back and letting Taitz’s crazy do the talking. Do we need more Orly Taitz on the airwaves? Should Behar be giving this loopy-loon a platform? Will Lou Dobbs take this as a sign that he can have her on, too? Who knows — it’s cable, and this is good TV. You can’t tear your eyes away from Orly Taitz. Which is why we all know her name, despite the ludicrousness of her claim.



Also on Joy Behar last night — Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman! Also, presumably no relation to Judge David O. Carter) and Alicia Silverstone, who taught me that the word “diet” actually means “daily journey.” Hm.

    While I’m not the biggest Behar fan, I really enjoyed this interview, because Joy isn’t pandering to Taitz. She’s presenting her with contradictory facts, and actually stating that she disagrees with Taitz. She isn’t trying to come to some sort of agreement between the two of them, and I loved her snarky comments about Taitz being a busy dentist with better ways of spending her time.

    Taitz also looks a bit like Carol Channing: http://www.nndb.com/people/935/000022869/channing1.jpg

    I thought Orly made Joy look like the idiot that she is. Obots seem to hate Orly because they think it is a substitute for reason and logic. Hate is not a substitute for reason folks. All we ask is Obama prove in court he is legit. They asked McCain and he went to court and produced the docs – end of story. McCain is a jackass but he is a legal jackass.
    Obama spends millions to stay out of court. Why? Does he have something to hide? We think so.

    I think Orly is a very attractive woman. I think she is very smart and I think she refuses to back down. She may not be the best lawyer in the world but she is intelligent and can express herself logically and she made Joy look like a fool. She has refused to give up and finally it looks like Obama may finally have his day in curt in Georgia on the 26th. If he can produce the correct docs then it will be over. If he can’t then he has a lot of questions to answer in court.
