Now the left is starting to boycott SlimFast because they dropped her...

Send thank you note here support@slimfast.com to say you appreciate SlimFast's decision!

Moral people are finally being heard.

Sqeaking wheels do get greased, and the potty mouthed hate Bush crowd is a tiny market compared to churchgoing America, the America that is sick of vile bile on public stages.

I will never get tired of seeing this story posted.
Every time this crossed my mind today...I just smiled!
So much for Kerry's idiotic theory that Hollywood represents the heart and sole of America...
Guess ole Whoopi will just have to settle for Oprah's rotating weight diet.

I have to say, I loved Sister Act, Sister Act 2, the Associate, and Eddie, but I am so glad to see Whoopi get fired from Slim Fast. I will never pay to see one of her movies again, assuming she makes more, which is a huge assumption seeing how her television show, Whoopi, was an incredible failure. It was almost as big as a failure as Air America (the liberal radio talk show stations), but not quite.

Speaking of which, here's the latest RNC message--  a bold proposal in the form of an open letter from BushCheney04's campaign manager!

July 12, 2004

Mary Beth Cahill
Campaign Manager
John Kerry for President
P.O. Box 34640
Washington, DC 20043

Dear Ms. Cahill:

On Thursday your campaign hosted a fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall at which Sen. Kerry said, "Every performer tonight in their own way either verbally through their music through their lyrics have conveyed to you the heart and soul of our country." 

I called on your campaign to release the performance that Sen. Kerry said represented the "heart and soul" of America so that all Americans could see for themselves what John Kerry thinks represents the "heart and soul" of our country. 

Do most Americans in their hearts, think that calling the President a "thug" and a "killer" represents the "heart and soul" of our nation? We don't think so, but we think voters should decide for themselves by watching the celebrities John Kerry said captured the "heart and soul" of America.

Your Senior Advisor Tad Devine said that you believed that releasing musical performances "might violate copyrights and licensing agreements for the entertainers who performed and allow the Bush campaign to use the tape in commercials against Kerry and Edwards" 

I have been assured that "fair use" rules of copyright would allow you to release the tapes of these musical performances to the news media under 2 U.S.C. 107. To allay the other concern you relayed to the news media, Bush-Cheney '04 pledges to refrain from using audio, video or transcripts of the event for any television, cable, satellite or radio advertising. We look forward to seeing this spirited display.

Sincerely,

Ken Mehlman
Campaign Manager

Bush-Cheney Ticket Leads in Edwards' Home State Likely voters in North Carolina suggest little change in voting pattern from 2000

by David W. Moore

GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- A CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey of likely voters in North Carolina shows President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney with a healthy lead over Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and his running mate, North Carolina Sen. John Edwards in the race for the White House. While Edwards is personally quite popular among North Carolina voters, the addition of his name does not appear to give the Democratic ticket any greater appeal to the state's electorate than the Democratic candidates in 2000, when Vice President Al Gore and his running mate, Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, lost to Bush and Cheney in that state by 13 points.

The poll, conducted July 9-11, three days after Kerry chose Edwards as the Democratic vice presidential candidate, shows Bush beating Kerry by six points among all registered voters in the state (49% to 43%), and by an even larger margin of 15 points among the most likely voters (54% to 39%). In both cases, independent candidate Ralph Nader and his running mate, Peter Camejo, receive 4% of the vote. In 2000, Bush won the state by a 56% to 43% margin.

I'll comment in a way that Whoopi might understand:

This news gives me an erection.

Hahahahaha! Looks like Kerry's "heart and soul" doesn't pass the American consumer's smell test.

Whoopi Goldberg (news) will no longer appear in ads for diet aid maker Slim-Fast following her lewd riff on President Bush

There Whoopi, now what do you think of your class act? You are one evil person.

Whoopie is gone and forgotten! Lets not respond by "who can we go after next?". Sounds like a witch hunt. Time to move on.

I received this today:

"
Dear xxxxxxxxxxxx ,

Thank you for contacting us recently about our use of Whoopi Goldberg, specifically regarding
her remarks made at the recent fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall. The manner in which Ms.
Goldberg chose to express her personal beliefs at this event do not reflect the views and values
of Slim·Fast Foods Company.

Slim·Fast selected Whoopi Goldberg as its spokesperson because of her commitment to losing
weight, which we applaud.

We are disappointed by the manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express herself and
sincerely regret that her recent remarks offended you. Advertisements featuring Ms. Goldberg
will no longer be on air.

We appreciate you sharing your views with us and we hope you will continue to use Slim·Fast
as your partner in healthy weight management.

Sincerely,

Kathi Eckler
Consumer Services Manager "
