What a joke. What a hypocritical joke. She goes on a vulgar rant at a DNC Kerry/Edwards love fest/fund raiser.

Then she wraps herself idignantly in her right to freedom of expression when the people who were offended by her comments decided not to purchase the product she sponsors.

Since when does the right to express yourself exempt you from the consequences of what you say? And so when people get upset and express it, that is sad??? Well, ain't consequences a bitch.

Then this:

" Diversity promoter Asa Khalif, who has made headlines for accusing celebrities of insensitivity, cried foul in the Goldberg firing. "I smell racism from beginning to end," said Khalif, head of Racial Unity USA in Pennsylvania. "SlimFast must realize that black women have every right to voice their views.""

I'll tell you what sad is. Sad is trying to turn this into a race issue. So Asa, what do you say to a black woman who was offended by Whoopi's comments? Is she a racist too? Or maybe she's an Auntee Tom? Or better yet, maybe she should just learn her place and shut up and take it with a smile like the white people are supposed to do.

Apparently, as soon as your voter registration reads "democRAT."
