A children’s book I will not buy for my kids

Joy Behar has written a children’s book. I’m trying to wrap my head around that concept because Joy is such a shrew (my apologies to shrews everywhere). The book she’s written is exactly the kind of book you’d expect,too. It heaps praise on Barack Obama while insulting all Republicans. Here are the details from NewsBusters:

Liberal “View” co-host Joy Behar appeared on Thursday’s edition of “Good Morning America” to promote her new children’s book “SheetzuCacaPoopoo,” an allegory for Barack Obama’s rise to power. According to Behar, the illustrated tale the book is really about the new President. She explained to GMA co-anchor Robin Roberts, “The dog- Max is in trouble. They send him to obedience school, okay? When he’s in obedience school is when he becomes Barack. He becomes a community organizer.”

As a somewhat incredulous Roberts watched, Behar continued, “And he organizes the big dogs around the little dogs. ‘Cause at first, the big dogs, also known as the Republicans, don’t like him. See?” With no spoiler alerts, Behar concluded, “And so, he finds ways, pragmatically, to help the big dogs…And so, he becomes popular. And everybody loves each other. “

Describing the complex, layered themes in her book, Behar asserted, “It’s all about pragmatism and change, and trying to find a solution in your situation, which is Barack Obama.”

Wow. This woman is a walking cliche.

Now, I do have a children’s book that has a little political spin to it, but it’s also based in reality, whereas Behar’s is based up on liberalism’s stereotypes and cliches. I bough my kids the book called Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under my Bed. It’s about a siblings who want to buy bikes, so they decide to earn the  money with a lemonade stand and what ensues when Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and other liberals stop by.
