Slim Fast did not help her weight or her looks either.

Note to CNN: Gee, why don't you all play some clips from the fundraiser to allow your viewers to see and hear for themselves?
Whoops! We report, you decide is the other channel's motto, isn't it?

""And just because I'm no longer in those spots, it doesn't mean I will stop talking," the comedienne's statement said. " YEAH...Maybe Whoopie you can work in spitting on the American Flag while you talk too, I mean it is a FREE COUNTRY , after all.

Yes, I wrote one as well. Living in Massachusetts, it's nice to know that at least my consumer vote still counts. In fact...why not start replacing the word "dollar" with the term "consumer vote"?

Glad I wrote my letter too! Saw this on the Fox News ticker last night. I am amazed by her comment, though.
"But it saddens me that people who were not present at the fund-raiser, including anyone from Slim-Fast and others who have not seen the material for themselves but are only reacting to soundbites produced by the media, have opted to judge my 'conduct,' " Goldberg's statement said.
Hey S**TBERG, maybe we could see it if your RAT buddies would release it! Why don't you go condemn them?!!

Aw, she's deeply saddened. Why won't your boy Johnny release the tapes of the event? Because he doesn't want the voting public to know specifically what happened?

Pretty brilliant of them this fundraiser. They put together a clip they feel puts thier best foot forward, and all they did was put thier foot in thier collective mouths.
To: joedownthestreet
Yep.. A FREE COUNTRY...Freedom of Speech, Freedom to listen or not, and Freedom to spend the Dollar as we see fit.
IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?

"I only wish that the Republican re-election committee would spend as much time working on the economy as they seem to be spending trying to harm my pocketbook."
HAHAHAH...that's a good one whoopi, now there is some fine material. It seems to me that the government in general spends far too much time trying to figure out how to take money out of MY pocketbook. But what do I know, I'm just a dumb guy who works to pay my taxes. Surely I don't qualify as a voice for the "heart and soul of America"
