Danny DeVito -- Hammered on "The View"?

Danny DeVito says he and George Clooney had a long night out last night -- and by the look of things on "The View" this morning, it caught up with him.

DeVito, appearing as a guest on the show to plug his latest comedy, "Deck the Halls," told the View gals that he might not have gotten to sleep just yet ... before the 10 AM taping.

Then, cursing his seventh limoncello (a lemon liqueur) from the night before, DeVito went on an extended, Three Stooges-esque rant against President Bush, much of which was bleeped out by network censors. He also talked about making full use of the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House when he and wife Rhea Perlman stayed there.

Joy and Rosie laughed at DeVito's antics. Elisabeth seemed tolerably amused, despite the political slant. Barbara, however, was very much not so, glaring icily at the "limonized" DeVito.

DeVito's rep Stan Rosenfield tells TMZ that his client had asked for Barbara Walters' phone number today, and that he would say "what needed to be said privately" to her. Rosenfield also confirmed that DeVito and Clooney were out last night together, and that "they had a good time."

91. Danny the Drunk speaks about the time President Clinton let him sleep in Lincoln's Bedroom (by the way it is a piece of American history not to be disgraced) and Danny the Drunk talk's about how he shagged his short, ugly wife in every corner of it and on every piece of furniture. This seemed to excite Rosie(God knows why???) That was the problem with Bill... He'd let anybody disgrace the White House including Danny the Drunk, the communist chinese, himself and any other MF'er that would give him oral sex or some coin. Devito is a sad, sorry, little drunken midget. "The View " did America a favor by putting him on. He exposed the truth not about Bush but about Clinton. Rosie and Barbara this back fired on you. Next time; don't let your short, babbling and drunken friends come on the air because you only expose your own inner evils. Good Job To the View!!!!

92. He gets paid a lot of money to be in half-rate, d-list Christmas movies. He isn't getting paid to abuse a public platform with his idiotic political views.

94. This is a perfect example of what kind of White House and Peresident these libs want to run this country. A Clinton rental house for your sexual enjoyment. These are the kinds of morons that will destroy this country. If there is a real enemy of this country it is the hollywood elite, biased new media, and liberals in general.

95. Who cares? It made for good tv. I wish more celebrities would show up smashed.

96. Devito, Your an IDIOT! You, Clooney, Rosie and all the rest of your buddies in Hollywood!

97. Well at least Rosie didn't say he put down gays or something like that. You know she hears things differently.

98. An apology to this nation's president is necessary. Whether you like it or not, he is the president and if for no other reason, a certain level of respect should be accorded to the Office. This is an should be an insult to us all, liberal or conservative. As fas as Mr DeVito, to this point, he has been one of my very favorite actor/comedians--not any more. Drunk or sober, displays of this nature are unacceptable. Nothing remotely amusing about this idiot. I will individually protest this by making no future "contributions", i.e. theater tickets, DVD's, PPV's or even viewing Mr. DeVito on network or cable programs. (Forget "Deck the Halls" for my family me. We had planned to attend.) As far as the View, nothing hard about not watching this program. Shame on you Ms. Walters for allowing Danny to appear in this condition. You must have known about his condition from green room staff, if not, maybe you should become more aware of your guest ability to appear.

99. Danny was funny and being an actor. The View women had fun with Danny and he made everyone laugh. He went a little too far with the Lincoln Bedroom story and that is what made Barbara change the subject. But, his interview was entertaining to say the least. The View is very entertaining with the addition of Rosie. She adds a lot of spunk and fun to the show.

100. What a washed up hasbeen he is - fat, bald and no where else to go but a crummy daytime t.v. show with washed up hasbeen women hosts! Glad I work during the day...

101. I agree with you Deep in the Heart, no holiday D. Devito movies for this family. He owes the entire viewing audience a huge apology, as do the ladies of the view. This was truly disgusting morning TV. As a former DD fan, I saw absoloutely nothing adorable or endearing about this formerly funny man. I bet Rhea is letting him have it at this very moment, and I don't mean sex. She is probably the only one who has the power to make him go to AA, he needs it. Sad, Sad, Sad that this is what he does with his success.

102. Now thats it been a few days since the incident and more time has passed to see what might happen cant help but note these observations:

*at least Richards had the guts to go public,;Letterman,Jesse, Sharpton and a sit down apology with those directly offended----------not a word from Da Vino except a supposed missed apology call to Barbara Walters....what about your viewing public Sir? Many of us, even if only half, were offended

*there is a defintive split reaction to all of this---Keith Olberman leftist view of "leave him alone" to Bill O'Reilly's traditional view of "this is an outrage"

*Deck the Halls movie was 4th place last weekend and is not gaining ground so far this week

*George Clooney makes comments that only add to Da Vino image of being a hard partier but not quite as hard as George

Conclusion: Half believe it was an ok exhibition...to those I say , see his movie...the other half, me included believe his shtick was disgraceful and unprofessional at best.

Final Conclusion: There is help for such unfortuantes and when sought can rebuild career, reputation and even ones views on things like Country and Self

AA for DD

103. Entertainers are paid to do their job. Lately they seem to think they are invincible and can say or do anything they want whether it's politics, the war or homosexuality and everyone is supposed to accept it. Now with all the employment laws in place regarding Race, Relegion, Politics, Personal Opinion, etc.

Imagine the next time you show up at your Job and voice your opinion about any of these same hot topics and being drunk to boot. What do you think the results will be for you? Fired, Disciplined, Punched Out by Co-Worker, Company Sued?

Why do we have a double standard when it comes to professions? We made these stars by supporting their work made them rich on the backs of common American people looking for some diversionary relief from everyday work and this is how we get rewarded for putting them on a pedestal?
(Irony is that a lot these so called protective employment laws were put in place by liberal politicians).

How soon they forget, without a paying audience it does not matter how brilliant they have become in their own mind. Stop supporting certain entertainers and watch them crumble.
I'm not a crybaby or whiner, I've personally said and done things that are nothing in comparison to what these lightweights think they are accomplishing. (And am not proud of it)

Entertainers, Television programs are just like politicians, when enough is enough, stop your support of them.

What if they played a Movie and nobody came?

104. This show is reaaly gett ing out of hand, Did anyone think he was funny. What a jerk, they knew what condition he was in, and put him on anyway. He ws not entertaining!!!!!!

105. Barbara Walters should stay off the "View". Her career belongs to journalism. Danny is just out having fun, brought alot of laughs, and still is a great actor.Really shows the Hollywood "fame", and depression side of every celeb. It would be hard being one. Still love Danny, great guy. Wish him the best.
