Correction:
As a NY'er... I am shocked at what Spitzer did but to be honest...no all that surprised. When you put a steak in front of a corn fed lion, that lion will have the desire to have that steak. It is up to the lion to know the steak is an un-natural diet. Who am I kidding... he wanted the corn and steak. I am just thankful that he saved his dignity and did what was right as Governor. (sorry: Governor.. I was reading another document about Newly appointed Governor Paterson. He claims, as Senator and other titles he did not cheat on his wife.)

Speaking of scandal (wink) ...

My 2 friends and I all wrote in for tickets to the show when it is in Orlando on the first day the "Tickets Available" was up for those shows.

It looks like none of us have gotten tickets. From past shows, it looks like there is a pretty large audience.

So my question is -- Who the hell actually gets these tickets? Has ANYONE gotten tickets? Do you have to know someone? And if you do, why bother saying that tickets are available? Are they first come, first served? Or is the audience chosen?

Has anyone had luck???

Just curious ...

I think Eliot Spitzer and Sally Kerns should resign! I feel sorry for Spitzer's family.

Hi Ellen and All Ellen Fans,

I saw the following post on another board and was very touched. So I thought I would copy the post and add it to as many boards as I could.

My thoughts are that maybe if all of us fans get behind this - maybe, just maybe, Ellen and Crew can help make this happen for Kyle. I am sure that it will be easy enough to verify all that is said in the post.

I don't know Kyle or the family, I am just touched by the story and would really like to see this happen for him. So how about it fans....can you all help me to reach Ellen about this young man?

I am doing it myself just because it puts a smile on my face to think that maybe as a group we can give Kyle a Birthday he'll never forget. I hope you'll all read the post and help me reach out to Ellen on Kyle's behalf. Thanks in advance for reading the post and any comments you post to Ellen!

Here is the post: I am going to change it a bit to make it easier to read, but I will not change any of the words.

Ellen, PLEASE HELP!! there's this un-remarkable Kid named Klye Kickok who has pretty much spent a greater part of his life in the hosptial, Kyle is 11 going on 50, 4'11" he weighs about 70lbs, he has a BIG, round,sparkly,eyes, And an Awesome Smile that lights up the whole room,He is quit the prankster.

When Kyle was born on Mar.25th ,1996 he was 5 weeks early, An had troubles right off ,the docs tried for awile to figure him out, he had tons of tests.he first went to Childrens in Seattle when he was 8 months old they thought he had leukemia ,but he didn't, more tests and a couple years later his family found out he had a clotting disease called factor5 liden, and it had clotted off his portal vein ,so it was slowly making his liver fail,

when he was 5, he had a surgery for a twisted bowel,then when he was seven he had a 11hr operation to take out his spleen and make him a spleenal-renal shunt, it lasted only a couple years.then he had a 16 hr op..to take out his gallbladder and make a meso-caval shunt,

He has a heart murmur and his kidneys and lungs have trouble because of his liver failure, Kyle has had pneumonia more times then anyone can count and lots and lots of transfusions and tons and tons of meds..He went on the liver transplant list on Jan 29th 2007 and have been waiting since.all his life has been doc's and hospitals he don't know any different really. You would think that with all those problems he would have had his share of mountains to climb,but as fate would have it that wasn't to be.

On Dec.22nd he woke up with horrible headache and super sensitive to light and sound and started vomiting, His Mother, who I must say has been a rock through all of this. Took him to the doc and they thought he had meningitis so wanted to do a spinal tap but couldn't because of the blood thinners so they did a CT scan and found a burst brain aneurism

so they flew Kyle right away to Harborveiw in Seattle where they found that not only did the little guy have 1 but 7 aneurisms so into surgery. 3 in 4 days to do a thing called coiling, while fixing 3 of them he had two little strokes on the right side of his brain but they were very little, but all of the contrast they were using caused him to go into full renal failure and congestive heartfailure, but true to his tough, superhero, nature and all of the prayers, He is still fighting.

they moved Kyle to childrens on Jan2nd so he could start dialysis to help his kidneys and get off the extra 20 pounds of fluid this little body was holding onto,He has a long way to go to get better.

Kyle has been such a strong, fighter and it seems just when he finishs with one surgery an recovering from that something else comes along and not so much knockes him down but is thrown on his plate to deal with,

The reason Im writting Ellen is that Kyle will be turning 12 on March 25.He is such a caring and kind kid when Make A Wish Foundation wanted to give him a wish One of his original wish's was to have dinner with Emeril Legasse and Rod Stewart.

But since Kyle is the most giving, sharing kid, what he ended up asking for was a vacation that his whole family could ALL enjoy!, But that Vacation never happened due to being in the hosp.

So with ending this Im just asking if you could Please put Kyle in touch with Emeril, Rod or even someone like the Cyrus family, as he is way into Hannah Montana as well it would be amazing! Even if it was a phone call or email or letter... Just something spectacular and uplifting for this amazing Kid on his b-day. Thank you so much Ellen. Andrea Wood, Kalispell Montana

Thanks for reading, I hope you all will post to Ellen and see if we can make this happen for Kyle!

For those of you who didn't tape Ellen's response to Sally Kern, her response is on Utube, along with Wanda Sykes' comments as well.
It is just fantastic. Ellen, you are my hero.

This is my first post...I'm from Oklahoma and while I am sorry about the Spitzer scandal...it has taken the focus off Sally Kerns comments! Please accept my apology on behalf of Oklahoma and please know that she doesn't speak for the vast majority of Oklahomans. Ellen, you are beloved in Oklahoma.

DEAR eLLEN, I am asking again how to find out how I can find that 'Sally from Oklahoma' item that you aired on your show on Wednesday March 12 . I have been trying to get it for two days to show it to my two best friends who are gay. I dont know what I would do without them. If Sally were even one per cent as decent as they are she wouldnt have made such an indecent remark. Please help me with any information to find that article
via newspaper, computer etc. hazel bemis

Wasn't it Mark Spitz that was the greatest diver?

Sure is something though, to go out in History diving too deep in...

"I'm Eliot Spitzer, but I didn't swaller?"

Although I don't approve of prostitution for all the usual reasons think about this...Do you want a person who has huge influence over your life to be a sexually frustrated male?? Look at all those pseudo religious people who are so moral who are also so NASTY AND CRUEL. I think sexual frustration can make people go a bit funny in the head and they take out their anger on other people. I want someone who has power over my life to be "gettin all they can" so they are just as happy as all get out. Sad but true.

I really think it's like the saying goes. "The bigger they are the harder they fall." Sometimes people who are put up on pedestals get a BIG HEAD and they think they are untouchable. [well, not in every sense of the word.] Sometimes "I think thou doth protest too much." Maybe this Sally Kerns has some demons she is trying to stuff. Who knows, but if people have "power" in the world, they ought to be more responsible with it. Let's be careful not to hate, thats not the point.

YES!! and Only because it was illegal........

I hope it was worth it...............He is still paying for it...I feel bad for his wife and children

I live in New York
and I think it's such an embarrassment that Spitzer was governor of our state.
I met him a little over a year ago, when catering for one of his parties.
I shook his hand! [[gross!]]
Good thing they caught his dirty butt!

Hi Ellen,
How do I send you a funny picture?? I've tried to do it but something is wrong with the email I'm using for you, HELP! iT'S REALLY WORTH sending me your email address.
I love your show---
actually watch it at work!
Thanks.

Nancy

Can you imagine if this was a women senator??? The US would be in up rore and she wouldn't have a choice to step down because she would be inpeached in second! You know it is true!

I really though Clinton did nothing wrong the only thing that he did whas search for cigars

I think what Spitzer did whas real stuppid a real hypocrite
and I wait on the next one

Hai Donald Duck

you always make me laugh but you have it always right

Actually, when I first heard of the "Emperors Club" I thought it was to do with penguins. I learn something everyday..but I tell you what I felt like a right icecube when I found out the truth.

Right..have yet to comment about Sally Kern..talk about finding a f*c**king fossil from the cave days..She needs to get back under her rock and keep her trap shut. How did she get voted in? How many more twisted fossils are out there..That woman (?) needs to get her virgina stapled so she don't breed no more..Do you know what I mean?

Peace Out

When Clinton was President he didn't resign I think that would be a bit races in away I don't think he needs too that is just wrong...
