WHOOPI GETS CANNED: BUSH RANT COSTS HER
NY POST ^ | July 17, 2004 | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Posted on 07/17/2004 4:07:08 AM PDT by Liz

Although they should have acted more quickly, Slim-Fast did the honorable thing by firing Whoopi Goldberg as spokesperson after her reported filthy rant against President Bush ("Shaking Whoopi — Slim-Fast dumps Bush-bash star," July 15). Should the career of this has-been "entertainer" ever be resuscitated, her second-rate performances should be boycotted by all of us with consciences. Maybe she'll get the message that candidate John Kerry's idea of "the heart and soul of our country" — and his idea of what passes for entertainment — is not our idea. Maureen Abato Brooklyn

--SNIP--

Whoopi should be ashamed of herself. I had always been a fan. Obviously, she does not know anything about boundaries. She used to be a figure that young African Americans could look up to, but name-calling and tacky, tasteless innuendoes do not make her look very bright now. The Democrats should be worried, if this is the kind of campaign that they are running. My mother was right, you cannot buy class. Joline Smith San Diego, Calif.

Whoopi Goldberg's comments at the fundraising at Radio City Music Hall were disgusting. I am a moderate with no particular interest in either party. But I support the president in a time of war. Goldberg showed that she doesn't have the intelligence to debate on the issues. Instead, all she could do was throw out cheap, crass talk. Shame on Kerry for not standing up for the honor and respect of the office that he wants to hold. Dave Thomas New Hyde Park

The rep and I had a short discussion regarding Her Raunchiness' interpretation of free speech ... this young lady said she kept an e-mail in front of her that clearly defined Miss Vulgarity's right to free speech (I'm sure it was written by a FReeper) but that WG didn't understand she was responsible for the consequences of that speech. The rep went on to say that Woopi's been fired ~ by Slim-Fast and not by Republicans ~ and they're glad they took that action ... they'd do so again.

Perfect! She may she educate a few....bless her heart!

It still amzes me that a woman who legally changed her name to "Whoopi" and who named her production company "One Ho Productions" could make fun of a guy who was BORN into the name Bush. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Great response from Slimfast. The opposition ALWAYS turns nasty. It's their nature. Thanks for the update.
