Happy Hour Video: Levi Johnston and Andrew Sullivan Chat Up Joy Behar

Max Fisher Dec 8, 2009

Today we faced wariness and skepticism in Iraq, interrogated Afghanistan war leaders, saw Obama's jobs speech picked apart, pondered a replacement for the public option, pardoned Mike Huckabee and more. Now it's time to rewind and unwind with a happy hour video--a visual after-work (or mid-work) cocktail. This evening's is a very special Joy Behar show, with Behar interviewing Levin Johnston and Andrew Sullivan about Sarah Palin. The title of the segment is "Levi Johnston Unwrapped: The Naked Truth."

At one point, Behar declares Johnston a "gay icon."

Behar: You realize that you're a gay icon now.
Johnston: I do
Johnston: I haven't ever seen a gay guy in Wasilla, I don't think.
Behar: You've never seen a gay guy? Look around they're all over here.
Johnston: Once I started doing all these tours and everything. You know I just--they're people too. It doesn't matter to me. More fans, that's great.

Here's Andrew Sullivan's appearance, after Johnston's. At the end, Behar gives him a "lefty gift basket." Andrew recounts the experience here.
