Goldberg's Response:
``While I can appreciate what the Slim-Fast people need to do in order to protect their business, I must also do what I need to do as an artist, as a writer and as an American, not to mention as a comic,'' Goldberg said in an e-mailed statement.
``I've done material on every president in the past 20 years, from Reagan to Carter, from Clinton to Bush,'' Goldberg said, adding that ``it seems now that people from the other side are using this to further their own agenda.''

If you want to see a face of the democratic party you would need a picture from Whoopie's back side.
To: buzzyboop
Unilever is right for busting Whoopi on her vulgarity and it's implications as a improper image for their product. But that should be the end of it. I'm sure Ms. Goldberg, however offensive she may now be, has done some good in her life.
Call it a day folks. You're going to end up bashing Ms. "Sister Act" and it won't play to your advantage in middle America.

Whoopi was never funny, and is never funny, and the idiots who think that she is funny or support her worthless work, are simply that - IDIOTSRIGHT ON!

With her, telling the back from the front is problematic.

Don't care what she's done in the past, she's a pig with a pig's mouth. She does not represent the heart and soul of my family.

I think she's got voice roles in two movies that are coming out pretty soon, Racing Stripes and Pinocchio 3000. Wonder if it would be a good idea to boycott the film companies that put those movies out, too? In other words, boycott not only those two movies, but anything else they release?

Why is it that every lunatic with scraggly hair and a crooked smile seem to think that he's an "artist?" God, no wonder people rate art so low these days.

I thought whoopeees carrer had "jumped the shark" some years back.
With her being fired I guess this means she missed the landing ramp?
To: superiorslots
20 years? So she is doing Carter jokes in 1984. That is the sign of a good comic, fresh material.
Have you seen Lincoln's beard lately, whats up with that?
And hey Taft, the ocean called, they're running out of shrimp.
Thank you, I'm here til Sunday. Try the veal!

I must also do what I need to do as an artist Her 'art' is on the order of "Piss Christ" and the elephant dung painting of the Virgin Mary, only not nearly as respectable.
