LARRY KING: We're in the studio live with Arianna Huffington and Donald Trump.
Tonight's topic, Barack Obama or John McCain; Who would Princess Diana have supported?
Arianna, who do you think she would have backed?
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: Well, Larry, setting aside that she's dead and was British and couldn't vote in the U.S., I think she would have leaned toward...
LARRY KING: How about Anna Nicole Smith?
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: What about her?
LARRY KING: She was American, wasn't she? Who would she support?
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: Eh, she's kind of dead, too...
LARRY KING: Donald Trump, your thoughts?
DONALD TRUMP: You know, Larry, beautiful women are attracted to powerful men — especially rich and powerful men, let me tell you — whether we're running for office or not. They just can't get enough of me. As I write in my latest book...
LARRY KING: First caller, you're on the air.
FEMALE CALLER: Hi, Larry. It's Hilla... I mean Valerie, first-time caller from, eh, not Chappaqua, from, oh, what's the name of that town just north... Mount something, Kisco, yeah, Valerie from Mt. Kisco.
LARRY KING: Okay, Valerie from Not-Chappaqua, who would Princess Di have supported?
VALERIE: She would definitely have backed me — damn — I mean, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, as should most intelligent, ambitious women — especially those whose aspirations and accomplishments have been overshadowed and undermined by their husbands reckless personal behavior; to say nothing of the pain and humiliation I've suffered because of it.
LARRY KING: Next caller, you're on the air.
MALE CALLER: Eh, yeah, Larry this is Bi, uh, Biff, yeah, Biff, also from Not-Chappaqua, and I think Diana would support Obama, but only after being denied the chance to vigorously and enthusiastically campaign for my wi — I mean, Hillary Clinton; and, of course, depending on what the meaning of the word 'support' is.
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: McCain, definitely.
LARRY KING: Which?
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: Anna Nicole. I mean, her modus operandi was to latch onto a rich older man in poor health then outlive him; she would almost certainly view Sarah Palin as her surrogate and, therefore, naturally back McCain.
ALL: [Murmurs of agreement, 'Sounds about right,' etc.]
LARRY KING: Up next: The Chinese Olympians who failed to win medals at the Beijing games and were shot out of cannons at the closing ceremonies. A heckuva show, yes, but, did they have it coming? Your thoughts after the break.
