Joy Behar Dismayed To Discover That Paris Hilton Is Still Allowed to Vote

7:20AM Kyle Buchanan | Though John McCain suspended his presidential campaign yesterday, third party candidate Paris Hilton is still busy courting voters. The heiress dropped in on The View today to replay her famous video rebuking McCain, and the clip prompted an inquisitive Joy Behar to ask, “You’re not really going to be able to vote, are you?” After citing a friend who lost his right to vote after spending time in the “slammer,” Behar was informed that Hilton did, indeed, still retain the ability.

After ‘View’ Appearance Gone Awry, Meghan McCain Sells Out a Chilly Barbara Walters

First, wife Cindy complained at a fundraiser that Whoopi & Co. had “picked our bones clean,” and now potential First Daughter Meghan McCain has waded into the fray, spilling to Jay Leno the dirt she gathered on the View hostesses from her own, separate appearance. Surprised to find she liked Joy Behar, she instead targeted Barbara Walters, whose cruel, passive-aggressive rules about hugging left Meghan very confused. Not as confused as we were, though, when Meghan was asked what problem her mother had with The View, and she enigmatically answered, “I just think there’s a lot of estrogen on that show.” Meow?

Now, hot on the heels of stars like Matt Damon, Lindsay Lohan, and Brooke Hogan, it’s Margaret Cho’s turn to opine on the veep choice, and though she’s spilled copious amount of e-ink on her Myspace blog to lobby against the Republican ticket, today found the comedienne in a state of confused ardor: Even though I would never, ever vote for Palin, I am kind of obsessed with fucking her. Elaborate erotic fantasies, after the jump: More »
