Can anyone here watch "The View" without screaming and throwing things at the TV? Yesterday I posted a bit about Baba Wawa being at some Dem dinner, now two others at a Dem fundraiser:

YOU don't get many laughs at political fund-raisers but Joy Behar of "The View" was quite irreverent when she emceed the Star Foundation benefit at the Southampton home of Anne Randolph Hearst the other night. Joy got a slightly shocked titter from the audience when she said that, after watching a presentation about the dangers of nuclear power plants, "I'd feel safer standing behind Lizzie Grubman when she's driving."

Among the committed crowd were honorees Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Star Jones, playwright Langford Wilson, Democratic National Committeeman Robert Zimmerman, NBC's Jill Rappaport and artist Chuck Close. Neal Travis

More from the Hamptons:

Christie Brinkley (l.) joins her husband, Peter Cook, and Sen. Hillary Clinton attend a weekend benefit in Bridgehampton, L.I., to promote safety at nuclear reactors.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and assorted celebs strained to find humor imagining what it would be like to escape the Hamptons if the nearby nuclear reactors ever came under attack. "You can hardly even drive here on a normal weekend, let alone if there was a terrorist attack," said the senator, who received an environmental hero award at a benefit for the Standing for Truth About Radiation (STAR) Foundation on Saturday. Joy Behar agrees. The thought of it "is scarier to me than driving with Lizzie Grubman," said "The View" co-host, who lives in Sagaponack. Christie Brinkley, Peter Cook, Star Jones, Peter Boyle, Rona Jaffe and Cynthia Rowley also showed up. Ny Daily News

Just curious, what has Hillary ever done for the environment to warrant such an award?
