Goldberg's Response: ping!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Uh, Whoopie - Carter wasn't president 20 years ago. He left office in 1981. It was in all the papers.

"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"

What you need to do as a comic is make me laugh. You failed in your duty, Ms. Goldberg.

[Hi Heels]

Using her "art" as license to degrade and act like an ass is despicable.

Hey Whoopi, how many finger am I holding up?

I loved the article--loved it so much that I wrote the reporter. Here's what I said:

I read your story about Unilever pulling the Slim-Fast ads and Goldberg's response, and feel I would like to express a few words to you.

I did not write to Slim-Fast, but after I heard about the dinner, and Kerry's response, I made up my mind not to buy any Unilever products.

Ms. Goldberg says that people from the other side are furthering their own agenda.

I say that I as an American (whose youngest child is a Marine serving in Iraq), have a right to buy products from companies I like. I don't like their company if she's part of it.

I must do what I need to do as a wife, mother, and grandmother a consumer, and a citizen of the finest country on earth. If that means I'm from the "other side" and furthering my own agenda, she's right. So be it.

As long as she's not a part of Unilever, I'll support them wholeheartedly.
