On Larry King last night, the host asked Paris Hilton if she were strip-searched. (In the cheesiest possible way, that is a brilliant question.)

His follow-up: “Is it as gross as we think it is?”

And with that, a line was crossed….

Hilton’s response included the assertion that it was “the most humiliating experience of my life,” which begs the question: Really? Worse than, say, having a video of yourself performing oral sex distributed over the Internet?

Hilton also denies ever having used drugs, any kind of drug, other than a prescription for attention deficit disorder. But then, she also said that she read the Bible in jail.

All told, though, a typical softball interview from Larry King.
