Whoopi, a trouper, turned it back to "The View," saying she spent the summer fending off calls from people wanting information about her joining the show, and wondering how much tickets cost.

"Tickets are free," Joy said.

"That's what I tell people," Whoopi replied.

Done with Whoopi, Joy returned to the "diary" thing, talking about Paula Zahn and how the former CNN anchor allegedly wrote juicy bits about her allegedly torrid affair with some guy, which her husband found, according to news reports.

"When you write something down, you've got to know maybe the potential of somebody finding it is a little risky, exciting," opined Ms. Bangsandboobs.

Babs began to whine about BlackBerries and YouTube and how nothing is sacred or private anymore. This from the woman who made her career prying the most private information from various celebs for prime-time specials.

"There is nothing that you can do that is not on YouTube, MyFace," Babs said in what was the funniest line of the whole show.

"I saw somebody in this audience doing something that they were going to [post] on YouTube. I thought, when we have station breaks and whisper and talk to you in the audience -- no more! No secrets!" Babs complained to her studio audience, sounding about 150 years old. ABC, for whom she works as a journalist when she's not being a daytime celebrity, is definitely going to give her notes on that comment.

An interminable period of time later, they tackled Idaho Sen. Larry Craig's problems -- he should have told his wife about the whole arrest for allegedly trying to pick up a guy in an airport loo, they decided. And Craig, it turns out, was also a victim of all these new technology thinggummies.

"There was a time, before cellphones with cameras, there was a time before all of those little things, when you could be private" in a public loo, Whoopi reminisced. Babs, meanwhile, ripped the cops for spending their time trying to catch unsuspecting, non-YouTube generation senators in stings in public bathrooms.

"Who are they protecting?" Babs sniffed.

"Children or young boys," Joy suggested.
