News Flash - Whoopi Slams Republicans
Looks like she missed a good opportunity to shut up...Whoopi slams GOP Calls outrage over Prez bashing 'a little fake' A Hollywood actress complaining about fakeness, that's rich. Whoopi Goldberg lashed out at Republicans again yesterday, branding them hypocrites for trying to "punish" her for joking about the President. Who's doing the 'punishing', I wonder? Fired from her gig as SlimFast spokeswoman, the Since they shitcanned her, there's no need for that now, is there? "America's heart and soul is freedom of expression without fear of reprisal," she said in a statement. Standard Martyr ComplexTM defence. Nice try... "I find all this feigned indignation about 'Bush bashing' quite disingenuous," she said, noting the Bush administration has savagely gone after critics like former Sen. Max Cleland, Iraq whistleblower Joseph Wilson and ex-terrorism chief Richard Clarke. All three of which have also used the same defence and have, to put it bluntly, 'veracity issues'... "For the Republican Party to pretend this is new to them seems a little fake," she said. "The fact that I am no longer the spokesman for SlimFast makes me sad, but not as sad as someone trying to punish me for exercising my right as an American to speak my mind." How much does that Hollywood Squares gig pay, again? Posted by: Raj 2004-07-16 |
