The following vignette might have taken place this week with any Mom watching The View with a 5-year-old running around the house.

The View is shown in the east at 11 AM, when most children are playing in the family room with Mother nearby.  The vignette:

Child: “Mommy, what’s a bitch?”

Mother: “Where did you hear that word?”

Child: “On the show you watch every day . . . the . . .

Mother: You mean The View?

Child: “Yes, this woman says the word ‘bitch’ all the time. What does it mean?”

Mother: “It’s not a very nice word and you shouldn’t be saying it.”

Child: “But she’s saying it, what does it mean?”

Mother: ” It’s a word for a female dog.”

Child: “Am I a female?”

Mother: “Yes, you are a lovely female child.”

Child: “Am I a dog?”

Mother: ” No, it’s just a term we use for females that produce, uh . . . dogs, or children.”

Child: “If I’m a female, I must be a bitch?  The woman on the show wasn’t talking about a dog.”

Mother: “Honey, we are not going to watch that show anymore.  That woman used a bad word and she was wrong for using it.”

This vignette is not far from the mark even with a 5-year-old.  Today they work cell phones and computers with a lot more expertise than the elderly, or for that matter the woman that uttered the word.

What they hear resonates and they ask questions that yesterday’s generation didn’t have the opportunity to ask because of today’s advanced technology.

The person that used the word ‘bitch’ two days in succession was potty mouth co-host Joy Behar, who describes herself as a TV host, comedian, actor and radio host, but doesn’t distinguish who she is when she says what she wants from her left wing position, with no concern to whom might be listening at 11 AM, EST.

It began on Tuesday when Behar condemned a political ad by Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle as causing racial divisiveness.  The View aired Angle’s latest TV ad on the talk show on Tuesday.

Behar addressed Angle, calling her a “bitch” and concluding that Angle is “going to hell, this bitch.”

Behar described the ad as “a Hitler youth commercial,” said Angle is “a moron on top of being evil” and also dared Angle to “do this ad in the South Bronx,” implying that New Yorkers wouldn’t stand for it.

I guess the child in my vignette didn’t hear enough of this bitchiness, because it continued again today when Sharron Angle had a heavy amount of donations to her campaign as a result of Behar’s comments with contributions of $150,000 on Tuesday and sent Behar flowers and thanked her civilly.

Nevertheless, Behar responded today, ” I’d like to point out that those flowers were picked by illegal immigrants, and they’re not voting for you, Bitch!”

Behar added, “Watching those ads, and watching people who work for a living made to look like villains. That’s what’s offensive. Not what I said.  Let’s get that straight, America”

Prior to these two shows co-hosts and co-potty mouths’ Whoppi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off the set when Bill O’Reilly said Muslims killed us on 9/11 and that was when Barbara Walters tried to calm down the panel in the plea for civility.

Well that little 5-year-old that heard that word ‘bitch’ is still trying to figure-out what that might mean  – I know – and someday she will know who it is, but today she is trying to comprehend ‘civility’, but she’s not going to find it on The View, because her mother shut down the show to her ears.
