Slim-Fast Sheds Whoopi Goldberg After Bush Riff
2004-07-14
Shill for the looney-left Comedian Whoopi Goldberg will no longer appear in ads for diet aid maker Slim-Fast following her lewd riff on President Bush’s name at a fund-raiser last week, the company said on Wednesday.
Did someone say accountability for one’s action?
Florida-based Slim-Fast said it was "disappointed" pissed off in Goldberg’s remarks at last Thursday’s $7.5 million anti-American star-studded fund-raiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York. "Ads featuring the idiot who caused the deluge of e-mails and irate phone calls Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on the air," Slim-Fast General Manager Terry Olson said in a statement, adding that the company regrets that Goldberg’s remarks offended some customers.
Money talks. Liars walk.
Republicans have expressed outrage over the fund-raiser for presumptive Democratic nomineethe very French looking John F’n. Kerry and his vice presidential running mate, the very young looking, but has great hair John Edwards, in which entertainers lined up to crap all over and ridicule skewer the president. The New York Post said of Goldberg’s appearance at the event: "Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush’s name in a riff about female genitalia."
Yeah, Whoopi-cushion, that’s just the kind of spokesman we want.
A spokesperson for Goldberg declined immediate comment.
Uh...hello? Yes, this is Whoopie’s agent. No we have no comment regarding a display of lunacy and vulgarity only a 2-bit whore in Tijuana could appreciate. Thank you. Have a nice day! click.

#7  I used to actually like her, too. She's a good actress - when she's reading someone else's lines. When she writes her own lines, however....

I'll still watch Ghost when it comes on TV, if I have nothing better to do, but from now on I'll go out of my way to not watch anything she's in.

What a waste of talent.

#6  the Drudge headline shows Whoopi doing an ad saying: "I'm a Big Loser"....so at least there won't be any false advertising claims :-)~
