Embattled Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli‘s policies and positions have fully succeeded in making him the butt of practically everyone’s jokes recently, and the women of ABC-TV’s “The View” this morning were no exception. Cuccinelli — who is running for governor of Virginia — made headlines this weekend when, during a debate against Democrat Terry McAuliffe, he said his “personal beliefs about the personal challenge of homosexuality haven’t changed.â€
The Interwebs went wild over that comment, because, what does that even mean?
But today “The View” took on Cuccinelli for his attempts to bring Virginia’s antiquated “Crimes Against Nature” law — which would ban, among other acts, oral and anal sex — back to life.
Joy Behar got the best line, saying Cuccinelli “wants the government on my back and my husband off of it,” and quipped, “Michael Douglas better stay out of Virginia.”
Barbara Walters cut to the chase. “What he does,” speaking of the embattled Cuccinelli, “is he equates oral sex with homosexuality.”
“Well then I’m gay as a gay two-dollar bill,” Sherri Shepherd announced. “I mean, I’m just saying.”
Walters also quoted Cuccinelli’s 2008 comment, “when you look at the homosexual agenda, I cannot support something that I believe brings nothing but self-destruction, not only physically but of their soul.â€
Whoopi Goldberg, who introduced the segment honoring the recent marriage of Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita, demanded to know of Cuccunelli, “How do I know you haven’t indulged?,” and asked, “Why [are] you in my bedroom?”
Goldberg promised to make certain Cuccinelli would not win the election for governor.
