Whoopi-cushion slams GOP for pointing out the truth
2004-07-16
Whoopi-cushion Goldberg lashed out at Republicans again yesterday, branding them hypocrites for trying to "punish" her for making remarks that would make a 2-bit Tijuana whore blush joking about the President. Fired from her gig as SlimFast spokeswoman, the salty obscene and unfunny, over-the-hill loser entertainer hit back at Republicans who threatened a SlimFast boycott over lewd, X-rated, trailer-trash sexual puns she made about President Bush's name at a left-wing-looney anti-Bush love-fest Democratic fund-raiser.
It's called accountability, sweetcakes.
"America's heart and soul is freedom of expression without fear of reprisal," she said in a statement.
OK, Whoopie-cushion...yell "FIRE" in a theatre, or "HIJACK" at an airport...or use a racial epitath in public.
"I lost my gravey train, so to speak because I used no common sense find all this feigned indignation about 'Bush bashing' quite disingenuous actually since I have no morals I am always surprised," she said, noting the Bush administration has savagely gone after critics like former Sen. Max Cleland on a political, not personal basis, Iraq whistleblower Joseph Wilson He's a flippin liar, Whoopie-cushion and ex-terrorism chief Richard Clarke politics, not lewd personal attacks.
It is hysterical to see the moral outrage of the elites when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
"For the Republican Party to pretend this is new to them seems a little fake," she said.
You are correct, Whoopie-cushion...there is nothing new under the Sun. Immoral, classless, licentious, stupid, corrupt humans have been around for a long time.
"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."
I say again, Whoopie-cushion...Not everyone appreciates your so-called humor. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY is keeping you from saying whatever you want about Bush. But you are accountable for your actions and your foul-mouth. Shut-up, or deal with the consequences.
The Bush-Cheney campaign has been making a lot of hay out of Goldberg's set at last week's celebrity gala at Radio City Music Hall, professing shock at her blue jokes.
The only thing the Bush-Cheney campaign was shocked at was the sheer stupidity of your remarks at a looney-left campaign rally, available as campaign fodder.
Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman called the event a "hatefest" that proves John Kerry doesn't "share the same values" as the rest of America.
Ya think??
The very french-looking, Vietnam War hero, John F'n Kerry, who is trying to nuance woo swingswingers voters, did not stand by his celeb supporters he stood behind them to take the $7.5 mill. On the defensive, he distanced nuanced himself from Goldberg and said nuanced through spokesmen that he thought her comments were inappropriate. Running mate John Edwards was asked about the debacle flap yesterday by Fox News. "They weren't speaking for me and Whoopie's hair ain't nearly as nice as mine, and they weren't speaking for John F'n Kerry," he said, adding the ticket is "focused on our positive, optimistic vision of hope that everyone in America is as stupid as we think and this will blow over by the next episode of Survivor." Mehlman has repeatedly demanded that Kerry's camp release a video of the event, even going so far as to promise not to use the footage in ads.
Uh, yeah. And there's something about a snowball's chance somewhere...I forget.
J F'n Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said tartly that he could have the video after Bush releases his military records and details of Vice President Cheney's secret energy task force.
Puh-lease, Mary Beth. That was an extremely weak forehand volley. If the best you can come up with as a rejoinder is that, just say "No comment".
Diversity promoter lawsuit-chaser and money-grubber without a real job Asa Khalif, who has made headlines for accusing celebrities of insensitivity, cried foul in the Goldberg firing. "I smell a lawsuit, bling-bling, and free publicity for ME racism from beginning to end," said Khalif, head of Racial Unity USA in Pennsylvania. "SlimFast must realize that black women have every right to voice their views."
AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS GOING CROSS-EYED OVER THIS IDIOT PLAYING THE RACE CARD LIKE THE RIGHT REVERAND JESSE OR AL?? What in the heck does race have to do with it?

#3  Um, Whoopie, you DO have the right to say anything you want. However, no one ever said you wouldn't get your ass kicked if your audience doesn't like the message.

Good manners - they're what keep you alive when you deal with strangers.

#1  Huh. Whoopi Goldberg. Last anyone actually saw her she wore a goofy hat on a Star Trek TV series. And since? Well, I'm sure someone's seen it.
