NEW YORK - Whoopi Goldberg has now lost her endorsement deal with Slim-Fast weight loss products. The reason given is that the executives at Slim-Fast were unhappy at the comic for remarks made at a John Kerry fundraiser last week.
The comments, according to those who attended, unfavorably compared President Bush to Goldberg's own sexual organ.
"We were offended by the manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express herself and sincerely regret that her recent remarks offended some of our consumers. Ads featuring Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on the air," said Slim-Fast general manager Terry Olson.
Following Goldberg's comparison of her sexual organ to the President of the United States, John Kerry took to the stage and told the audience that Goldberg's performance, "in her words" were exemplary of the "heart and soul of our country."
Kerry raised 7.5 million in campaign dollars at the event.

Eff'n is still into his American Values thing, aka class vs trash, aka show me the money.
That this unspeakable grotesque dog-whooper should represent his values can only be characterized as "apropos".
this is the company that is owned by AlGore's big supporter - cannot remember his name - freepers?? I suppose it would be embarrassing to host those big spending parties down in West Palm/Ft Lauderdale with Slim
Fast money if the public still associates them with Whoopi's foul mouth..politics -not good taste.
It's actually a Unilever Co.
The President of Slimfast, Daniel Abraham of Palm Beach FL has donated 1.2 million to various democrat causes.
His donations were posted on another thread yesterday:

According to the Unilever Conflict of Issue statement:
"Unilever neither supports political parties nor contributes to the funds of groups whose activities are calculated to promote party interests."
Yea, right.
Play with fire and get burned. Good.
"When is Whoops going to respond?"
When is _Kerry_ going to respond the Ms Goldberg's firing?
Whoopi was never funny, is never funny, and idiots who think that she is funny are simply that IDIOTS!
Whoopi and her ilk (Michael Moore) are indeed the "heart and soul" of the Demcrat Party.
This Is the most thoroughly deserved public spanking that I can remember.
OUCH !!!, Thats gonna leave a mark.
Apparently NOT everyone thought her performance was "exemplary of the heart and soul of our country."
This just shows what John Kerry's values are. I hope that President Bush rolls this statement into a scathing advertisement against Kerry. It's been reported in all the news media across the country. It could REALLY hurt Kerry!
can we say DUMB mistake! Poor whoopie-maybe they'll knock her up for a radio shack commercial;)
Please use original title.
I only wish there was an address so we could really tell HER what we think of her, she loves her freedom of speach; well I have a few things I'd like her to hear also.
