Slim-Fast Sheds Whoopi Goldberg After Bush Riff
NEW YORK (Reuters) - 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.
Florida-based Slim-Fast said it was "disappointed" in Goldberg's remarks at last Thursday's $7.5 million star-studded fund-raiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
"Ads featuring 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.
Republicans have expressed outrage over the fund-raiser for presumptive Democratic nominee John F. Kerry and his vice presidential running mate, John Edwards, in which entertainers lined up to 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."
A spokesperson for Goldberg declined immediate comment.
Slim-Fast is a unit of Anglo-Dutch food-to-detergent group Unilever Plc .

I think your selective memory forgot that if my fake Russian accent hadn't gone over as well as it did with the Sheriff, we'd probably still be trying to raise bail! LOL!
BTW, only $10 for that thing? I thought the going rate was much higher. You must have talked the guy down, huh?
I do admit being glad that they finally threw us out - otherwise we would have missed that gorgeous sunrise. :o)
However, I wonder if you remember that *I* was the one who walked out on my own two feet, and YOU were the one who had to be dragged. I got the biggest kick out of the way you were yelling the Declaration of Independence at them! LOL!
Strangely, I don't recall Thomas Jefferson's having written the Declaration *quite* that way...I mean with words like...well, you know....
(Call in a master plumber someone, this will take days to clean up.)
This kind of BIG POOPI doesn't go down in one flush!!! LOL!
Look! She's saying, "Help me, help me!" HaHa!
No way, Poopi! Pay a visit to the sewer where your friends, the RATS, live! HaHa!
LOL! Another thread at another time, huh? Too bad! I just opened a beer, and I'm in the mood for a good story! :oD
For me, it's all about the mayo! I'm very happy for both of us. :o)
(curtsy) :oD
:^)
LOL, Whoopie doesn't know the right way to ride the rapids!!
If a man was thinking about needing Viagra, Whoopi could make him forget what he wanted it for.
I thought that WAS the other side of their mouths.
Dear sweetliberty, it was a joke! You see, Viagra and Whoopie null each other out and become a total waste of time:)
I know.
WooHoo! good news!
Luckily now, I won't have to give up my Hellman's
But I don't get it. Having preservatives is a GOOD thing?
