Barbara Walters on Slavery: “Us White Folk, We’ll Take Care of You!”
John McCain bravely ventured onto “The View” today, where he was hen-pecked by the ladies about his view of the Constitution, which he said he’d uphold it “as our Founding Fathers intended” — which, as we all know, means guaranteeing certain fundamental rights, such as congressmen’s Right to Get Subsidized Haircuts.

The Emmys: Also, How the Hell Did Brian Cranston Beat James Spader?
Photo: Getty ImagesSpeaking of semi-baffling victories, the other big upset last night was Breaking Bad's Brian Cranston's win over Boston Legal's James Spader for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Emmy.
