It’s our own Dan Savage, on the teevee with her AGAIN tonight at 6 p.m. (rebroadcast at 9) on HLN.

If you look up “behar” in Merriam-Webster’s online, this is what you will find:

Main Entry: Cooch Be·har
Pronunciation: \ˌküch-bə-ˈhär\
Function: geographical name
former state NE India W of Assam; since 1947 attached to West Bengal

Behar is a very funny name, but Cooch Behar is even funnier.

  5. The troops live under / The cannon thunder / from Cap to Cooch Behar / Moving from place to place / ’til they come face to face / with a different breed of fellow / whose face is black or yellow / and quick as lightning chop him into beefsteak tartar!

    The Cannon Song, 3penny Opera.

  10. SAVAGE: But then he — and he seemed to want of martyr of himself and he went and hid behind and — invoked the right`s big bogeyman in this administration, which is Rahm Emanuel, which is a very strange choice. It was like he was angling to become the new Dick Morris, like turncoat dam, like oh, the vicious Obama machine and the Chicago polls forced me out; very strange and erratic behavior on Massa`s part.

  12. Does she pronounce her name like Bexar County, Texas – BEAR? or BEE-Har?

    Star Jones, former co-host on The View, and Behar had well-publicized disputes. On March 27, 2006, Star Jones called in to the show to discuss a recent operation that she had undergone. After talking with the show’s co-hosts, Behar abruptly stated to Jones, “OK, Star. That’s enough about you. On to us. Bye. Keep your [breasts] perky!” Jones then responded, “Even today, you [Behar] are still a bitch.” [wiki]

    But a bitch that loves Dan – a good thing for him.
