Noted Ethicist Joy Behar: Criticizing Barack Obama Before He Takes Office is "Unpatriotic"

After all, we haven't given him a chance.

I admit-- this is quite a change from the left's position when Bush was elected.

I seem to remember that back in 2000, criticizing the president elect was patriotic. The very tip-top gold-standard highest form of patriotism, in fact (easily eclipsing just plain old "real patriotism" as far as patrioticitude).

Now it's the opposite.

Remarkable. I never thought I'd live to see the day.

Oh wait -- yes I did. It was utterly predictable.

Oh, this buffoon, who thinks global warming causes earthquakes (for real, yo), also says that Sarah Palin is an airhead.
