I personally like Ellen D. although I don't get to watch her show a lot. Unlike many of the other talk show hosts, she is actually funny, and I have never heard her make political statements one way or another. She stays out of politics, even as others openly banged the drum for Kerry. My wife loves her.
My husband loves her. Thinks she's very sweet. Her sexuality is her business and she seems to have calmed down with the in your face stuff.
