Evan Bayh Grilled on "The View"

Politics Daily reported earlier on the grilling Evan Bayh took during his appearance on "The View." Joy Behar starts the ball rolling when she compares Bayh's retirement to Sarah Palin.

"I hate to say it, but you sound like Sarah Palin right now," Joy Behar said, accusing the senator of quitting his job before his work was done.

"Do you want to look at my hand?" he joked, referring to the talking points Palin wrote on the palm of her hand when she appeared before the National Tea Party Convention earlier this month.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck, the conservative in the group, pounced on Bayh's remark about Palin. "You sit here and say, 'I'm sick of the partisanship,' yet you throw a cheap Sarah Palin joke in, so I don't really understand or believe you," Hasselbeck said. "I just think if you're going to participate in that, you can't be saying the other things. So I want to hold you accountable."

Of course, as you will see in the video Behar can't stand to pass up the opportunity to join in on a good Palin joke:



Barbara Walters didn't seem to buy Bayh's fed up with politics routine and ended the interview with the following:

"Come back and see us, especially when you run again in 2016."
