Despite her many successes, Kathy Griffin is still on my “D” list. She’s Delightful, Delicious and Da-funny. (I know. I know. But I couldn’t come up with another appropriate “D” word and I needed three. It’s the law of comedy.)
Griffin’s seventh stand-up special, the appropriately titled Balls of Steel filmed in San Diego, gives her another opportunity to mock the famous, the near famous and the wannabes: Britney, Whitney and Babwa among them.

Glenn knew this wasn't going to be pretty -- but Glenn's interview on The View was even worse than anticipated, mostly because of the childish accusations (which they wasted an entire segment of TV on) that Glenn 'lied' about his chance encounter with Barbara and Whoopi on an Amtrak train down to the Correspondents dinner in Washington DC.

I watched a Barbara Walters Special about a guy out in Kansas named Terry who can only stay awake on Thursdays. Apparently he just sleeps the rest of the week. It’s the weirdest thing, and sad as a devil to boot. He is missing 85.7% of his life because he can’t stay awake! This is the kind of guy who needs to be on Extreme Makeover Home Edition!
Well, while I was watching Barbara, I thought of a brilliant idea that could help Terry. I was thinking I could partner with Ty Pennington to build Terry a house that travels around the world on a predetermined path at a preset speed so that no matter where Terry is, he is always living in Thursday. This way he could always be awake!

I never thought I'd say this--but thank God for Barbara Walters. I have been waiting patiently for the election's narrative to shift from pigs wearing lipstick to the issues, but I never thought that the usually grating hosts of The View would help supply it. On a day when Obama launched fresh, stronger ads taking on McCain, Sarah Palin's husband was subpoenaed because of "Trooper-gate" and Palin finally admitted that she had indeed once supported the "Bridge to Nowhere"--The View made the front page of the New York Times website. Why? Because unlike so many other mainstream journalists right now, Barbara Walters actually did her job yesterday.
John McCain appeared on her show Friday morning in an obvious atempt to pander to its audience of mostly middle aged, white women. According to recent polls, the choice of Palin as a running mate has helped McCain make serious inroads with that demographic and he must have assumed an easy, softball interview on The View would only improve continue to improve his fortunes. Especially since the show features once of his most unambiguously eager beaver supporters, right-winger Elisabeth Hasselbeck. But instead the show's only experienced journalist, Barbara Walters, flanked by entertainers Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg took John McCain to task on a host of real issues like Palin's experience (or lack thereof), abortion and earmarks. To say that McCain was floundering would be a tremendous understatement. Take this exchange and analysis from the New York Times for instance:
Ms. Walters also noted that Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin have said that her job will be to reform Washington. But, she pointed out, Mr. McCain has been in Congress for 22 years, the Republicans have been in the White House for eight years, so who, exactly, is Ms. Palin going to reform?
"The Democrats have been in charge of both houses for the last two years," Mr. McCain replied.
Pressed, he added: "The Republicans, the Democrat party, even the independents. She'll reform all of Washington."
How?
"By doing what she did in Alaska."
What, exactly?
Ah, the art of the follow up question! Charlie Gibson, are you taking notes?
Continues..I never thought I'd say this--but thank God for Barbara Walters. I have been waiting... more

NEW YORK (AP) -- After three decades of keeping mum, Barbara Walters is disclosing a past affair with married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke, whom she remembers as "exciting" and "brilliant."
A moderate Republican from Massachusetts who took office in 1967, Brooke was the first African-American to be popularly elected to the Senate. Both he and Walters knew that public knowledge of their affair could have ruined his career as well as hers, Walters says.
At the time, the twice-divorced Walters was a rising star in TV news and co-host of NBC's "Today" show, but would soon jump to ABC News, where she has enjoyed unrivaled success. Her affair with Brooke, which never before came to light, had ended before he lost his bid for a third term in 1978.
