Hopewood Gets Degeneres

Candidate Appears On 'Ellen' Looking Supportive

Software mogul and presidential hopeful Ray Hopewood made a brief appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday. Famous for verbal faux pas, the billionaire demonstrated yet again how he slips through the fingers of controversy. He quipped "DeGeneres might be your last name, Ellen, but generous is my MIDDLE name" just before he invited the entire audience to his campaign plane for a flying champagne cruise around Burbank International Airport.
