Whoopi Sounds Off on Palin
The Daily Beasf ^ | August 5, 2009 | The Daily Beast

Posted on 08/05/2009 8:39:26 AM PDT by Lou Budvis

Whoopi Goldberg on what it was about Sarah Palin that bugged Whoopi the most: The suspicion Palin was pretending to be dumb. "You thought she was pretending?" Campbell asked.

Actually sort of an interesting take. Whoopi says that she doesn't think SP is dumb and because a dumb person could not get themselves elected governor of AK. Whoopi says SP played dumb to appeal to crowds. Start of a new line of attack on SP by the libs?

I think Whoppi (which isn’t her real name) is wrong. She’s jealous of Sarah because the wave of conservatism is moving in on the liberals. The libs are getting desperate.

Whoopi needs to go away, nobody cares to watch her. And she thinks we want her opinion. She’s one of the dumb ignorant ones in Hollywood

What bugs me about Obama isn’t that he pretends to be dumb — it’s that he pretends to be smart.

Pure and simple jealousy.
They look at her and can’t help putting themselves down.

For an opposition view, there could be worse. Actually, Whoopi is onto something.

Generally, Republican pols do go out of their way to show that they’re of the people—cause for so long they were supposed to be the rich aristocrats, like Poppy Bush. W’s big lesson in his failed Congressional campaign was not to let himself get tarred that way.

Democrats, on the other hand, go out of their way to appear smarter than they are. They start with the conceit that they’re already identified with and for the ‘little people’, so they’ve nothing to prove on that front, while one of their base constituencies is the insecurity-infused world of academia.

I think Alaska is an overwhelmingly working class state, and Palin probably to some degree has worked to keep that style about her.

So does this mean Whoopi has been playing dumb all these years, or is she actually as dumb as she comes across?

I had an episode of Hell’s Kitchen on DVR - they have a Whoopsie lookalike who thinks she is da bomb...absolutely gag-worthy.

That show is toxic to my brain. All five of those dumb cranks bring shame to American culture, the female sex and humanity in general.

Yet Ms. Goldberg believes (really and trully) that The One was born in Hawaii.

Celebrities, is there nothing they don’t know? (Homer Simpson).

Whoopi Goldberg judging "dumb" in others? That's rich!

Whoopi believed that John McCain's comment on The View, that he would choose Judges who, "strictly interpret and enforce the Constitution" endangered her of becoming a slave.

I suppose this little amendment to the U.S. Constitution escaped her grand intellect:

Amendment 13: Ratified 12/6/1865
1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

If every dime she ever made was spent on plastic surgery, Whoopi would still look like “ET” and I won’t tell you what “ET’s” face reminds me off.

Only in the case of self hatred.

She doesn’t want to be white, she wants to hold the guilt card over them forever.

“Whoopi” is suffering from Palin-envy.

Whoopi should not mention the Word Dumb given her performances.

While I don’t care much for Whoopi or her opinion of Gov. Palin, I have heard her give signs of a glimmer of common sense before. She has grumbled about the high taxes she pays. She may evolve into a respectable moderate one of these days and perhaps this Palin comment is a milepost along that journey.

Liberal translation: We think SP is dumb but she keeps outsmarting us so she is also a liar.
