"Drunk as a skunk."

That was "The View" co-host Joy Behar's take on Danny Devito's recent appearance on the daytime talk show.

On Wednesday's show, the 62-year-old actor admitted he'd had a late night out with George Clooney and said, "I knew it was the last seven limoncellos that was going to get me."

When asked if he had been to sleep, DeVito replied, "I don't know."

But the ladies of "The View" are laughing off DeVito's loopy behavior.

"Danny DeVito is not an alcoholic," co-host Rosie O'Donnell said Thursday. "He's just a guy who had one too many drinks with his friend."

SLURRED SPEECH

DeVito, who was promoting his new Christmas comedy, "Deck the Halls," slurred his speech slightly and told a long-winded story about spending an amorous night in the White House's Lincoln bedroom — circa the Clinton era — with his wife, the actress Rhea Perlman.

"We went in and made it our business to really wreck the joint," he said.

His words were bleeped out after apparently using some bad language when joking about President Bush, who he'd imitated as a monkey and one of the Three Stooges. He later sat on O'Donnell's lap, and she kissed him on the cheek.
