Joan Rivers Jokes That Sarah Palin ‘Is A Nazi’ And Bristol ‘Couldn’t Dance At All’

(By Matt Schneider, Mediaite) - Comedian Joan Rivers appeared with her daughter Melissa on 'The Joy Behar Show' last night to promote her new show 'Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?' on the WE Network. Besides defending comedian Ricky Gervais, Joan really wanted to discuss her current “feud” with Sarah Palin.

Joan said she was “uninvited” for an appearance on 'Fox and Friends', which she now lovingly calls “Fox and Former Friends.” Melissa claimed the reason was because Joan commented “I don’t think Sarah Palin is very smart.” However, as reported yesterday, Joan’s comments were just a bit more colorful than that, and also Fox’s response was that Rivers is 'not' banned, but was meant to be rescheduled. When Behar asked why this occurred and is it just because Palin is a Fox contributor, Rivers jokingly offered her theory, “I guess – she’s a Nazi, I don’t know.”
