Elisabeth Hasselbeck absolutely, positively thinks Sarah Palin's right in bringing up Barack Obama's previous associations with William Ayers, a reformed member of "domestic terrorist" group Weather Underground.

Whoopi makes a great point - if Obama's guilty of "associating with terrorists," then so has the entire population of the University of Illinois at Chicago, where Ayers teaches.

Queen Latifah may want to squash those lesbian wedding rumors, but the flames got fanned on today's The View.

The girls were having a nice chat about Latifah's Merry Christmas necessities: food, football, family and fun. Sherri Shepard - the comedienne whose world history leaves a lot to be desired - goes on to add, "A good man wouldn't help". She flubbed, of course, and meant to say, "A good man wouldn't hurt".

If you listen closely to Shepard's correction, you'll hear Whoopi Goldberg's distinct voice: "A good man wouldn't help." Is this simply an expression of Goldberg's radical feminist ideology or an indication of Latifah's long-suppressed lesbianism? You be the judge…

Radio host Michael Savage tainted the air waves with his repulsively closed mind Monday. A caller phoned in to ask why Savage refused to attend last week's Republican debates. Savage first explains the bad blood between him and the news channel - something about Whoopi Goldberg, Al Sharpton and Joy Behar plotting a character attack on Larry King Live - and how Ted Turner set up a "bear trap" for conservatives.

From there, Savage launches a verbal assault on "Anderson Blooper" and Keith Kerr, the retired brigadier who asked the presidential candidates about Don't Ask, Don't Tell. And, from what we gather, Savage isn't so keen on Kerr:

I don't care about this old queen, frankly. He disgusts me to make — my flesh crawls from the old queen. That was a general? Now you wonder why we're still in Iraq five years later. General — with General Keith Kerr, you know why we're still in Iraq five years later. That's all. He wasn't just racking up cue balls at the pool table. I'm sick of it! I'm sick of the whole country, it's like Rome! It's melting down like Rome!

Christ, won't someone feed Savage to the lions, already?

The 65-year old commentator also commented on Cooper's sexuality: "Why don't you enlist, Anderson? I'm not saying you're gay. But you certainly could enlist if you're so interested in "do ask do tell.""

Bill O'Reilly got all chatty with The View ladies yesterday. And he brought flowers for Whoopi! No, the Fox News windbag wasn't embracing his inner gay: he simply popped in to promote his children's new book, Kids Are American, Too. It's quite a shocking title, because we didn't think children were truly American until they turned 18, when they can vote, fornicate and play the lotto. Thanks, O'Reilly!

In addition to opening our eyes on children's citizenship, O'Reilly gives us a look into his "thug" childhood and his ideas on bullying. Did you know that the gays and the religious kids are the most bullied? That's what O'Reilly says. So, who's picking on these guppies? Britney Spears fans and the cool stoners. Apparently gays can't like Britney Spears fans or pot. That's news to us - and makes us question our sexuality!

Former boy bander Lance Bass appeared on The View this morning to discuss his new book, Out of Sync. Watch as the gals pick Bass' gay mind on Justin Timberlake, coming out and his mother's reaction ("Are you going to heaven?"). Whoopi Goldberg reassures him, "I think God's okay with you, baby". She's so sweet

Also, Elisabeth obviously doesn't read the news, because she asks Bass if he and Britney Spears are still friends. Poor, poor Elisabeth's dreams are totally crushed.

[Thank Petulant Rumblings for the video!]

You may have blocked it out, but yesterday we brought you the disturbing news that Whoopi Goldberg wants to "do" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her hubby, Paul.

This here's the video. Watch at your libido's risk.

Things got inappropriately - and nauseatingly - steamy on today's episode of The View. Not only did Barbara Walters tell Faith Hill she wants to "do" hubby Tim McGraw, but Whoopi Goldberg seems to have solicited Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a menage:

Even before Pelosi walked on stage to take her seat at the round table, the show's moderator, Whoopi Goldberg, and its co-hosts - with former news anchor Barbara Walters leading the pack - started flirting with the speaker's husband, Paul…
…
[Later] Barbara turned to Guest Pelosi and said she has heard Whoopi say before that she'd "do Paul Newman."

"And I think she'd like to do your husband as well," Walters deadpanned…

Yes, Whoopi implicitly acknowledged, she'd like to do Mr. Pelosi - but she might take his wife while she's at it. "I would do her as well. But we should wait on that because you're still in office, I don't want to cause a problem."

Mrs. Pelosi just smiled politely.

• We're totally in love with the animal behavior student who made this video.

• Anti-gay crackdown in Italy?

Italian police detained two gay men for kissing outside the Colosseum and accused them of "lewd conduct", sparking howls of protest on Friday from rights groups and calls for an apology from a government minister.

Coppers, meanwhile, claims the arrests have nothing to do with homophobia.

• Nicole Richie has a date with the warden.

• Happy Outiversary, Lance Bass!

Bruce Vilanch recently took time from his busy schedule to chat with Bradford Shellhammer about the blogs he reads, the Bush administration, and this year’s Oscars. He also dishes on a few of our favorite divas.

Ok. Hi Bruce. We at Queerty love you. And we are sad we missed your show Almost Famous 2005 in San Francisco. What did we miss?

Full-frontal nudity. The first three rows had to move back.

You have so many projects lined up. Tell us about Queer Duck?

I play myself. It's a stretch. But it's never gotten in Jerry Seinfeld's way. This is a feature-length version of the cartoons that used to follow Queer as Folk on Showtime. They once had me pop in as a guest joke, and we all thought that this time I should do the voice instead of Mercedes McCambridge.

And Celebrity Fit Club! This is one of our guilty pleasures. We only wish you were on the same season at Jackee. How did this come about?

I think I can lay the blame at the feet of ant. Which is better than laying ants at the feet of, oh never mind. He recommended me and when they called they said we're hoping you can add some humor to the proceedings. Losing weight is such martyrdom that people give themselves over to their own drama. Maybe it's because they're deprived of the one thing that they could count on — food. It's a pity party three times a day. So I'm trying to do it and have a few chuckles along the way.

After the jump Bruce talks about Bette, Whoopi, and Miss. Ross.
