Whoopi Goldberg has pulled out of appearing on American TV show The View - in a bid to avoid further political controversy. The comedienne, who was scheduled to appear on network ABC's talk show yesterday, canceled her appearance as she is concerned her comments could detract from the Democratic convention. Goldberg was recently dropped as a spokesperson for diet aid company Slim-Fast after she mocked US President George W Bush at a Democratic fundraiser. A source says, "Those comments she made last time made headlines. It's inevitable that whole thing would have been a topic of conversation on The View and either that or something else Whoopi says - and of course, she's going to say what she thinks about Bush and it ain't pretty - would make headlines again. The Democrats just don't need that right now." Goldberg's spokesman comments, "Whoopi and only Whoopi decided that she would prefer not to appear on television during the convention."
Save face?? Hide face, maybe..
BINGO! Back to the gutter from whence she came. So deserving!
Stop the censorship! Let Whoopi be Whoopi!
Now we need to get rid of that other sow, Moore..
And she is?
Good for Whoopi. Grabbing your crotch and being drunk in public can be slightly degrading, but appearing on The View is just downright humiliating.
Whoopi Goldberg and Star Jones on the same show? Finally, a cure for sex addicts.
Yeah.....freedom of speech and all that stuff!!! Come on Whoopi.....open your mouth!!! LOL!
I'm pretty sure he'd be fired as a Slim-Fast spokesperson as well.
What do you want to bet that Terrazo Wheinz-sKerry made a few phone calls?
Exactly.
[This message paid for by the Republican National Committee]
Where is the tape? Why are they censoring that tape?
This a a loud and clear message for all liberal actors. Looks like the hate Bush fest is trying to be hidden. Lots of luck.
No, we need them both to be up front an center stage.
Goldberg's father (whoever he was) should have pulled out.

Though it is now a rhetorical question, what word is missing from each of these phrases, which best describes the above stated antagonist's decision?
Voluntarily? I don't believe it ...
And, this is from the woman who was bragging about faxing the Kerry camp a photo of her rear end, for trying to tone her down!
I doubt if the Cleveland Plain Dealer would have noted her on the The View.
Isn't that the show for the folks who can't get on Regis and Kelly?
Nothing like having Whoopie on a women's show and her claim to fame is comparing the president to her genitals. I suppose she hates her genitals. Some men I know refer to theirs as the "family jewels" ... but Whoopi hates hers so much she compares someone she hates to them. Not exactly the pure feminist message. She's sick!

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
Let Whoopi Whoop.
"Whoopi Goldberg and Star Jones on the same show? Finally, a cure for sex addicts."
No kidding! Jones is very outspokenly liberal. Of course, all of the others are, too...with the exception of the newcomer, Elizabeth (?). The one married to the pro football player. She is apparently pretty conservative, but the others usually talk her down.
Too bad, so sad.
If her face was on fire at a PGA event and was stomped out by the golfers she would look better.
So you are probably right!!!
Please don't say anything that would affect Whoopi's self-esteem. That would be politically incorrect.
Anyway, she could always apply to one of the billion-dollar tax-sucking federal programs to enhance self-esteem.
I bet she looks as if she has a tarantula between her legs.
My thoughts exactly. She didn't "pull out". She was probably "pulled out".
She is disgusting. She talks about being on Welfare at one time. Yet, when she opens that gutter mouth of hers, she shows she didn't get far away from the practices of those floks.

She wasn't worried before this show; and I'll bet she was nudged out too.
Blockheads like her don't learn.

Ghost star Whoopi Goldberg has defended her choice to attack American President George W. Bush, which led to her being dropped as a spokesperson for diet aid company Slim-fast. Bosses at Slim-Fast dropped the Oscar-winning star from their ad campaign, after admitting they were "disappointed" in her remarks at last Thursday's $7.5 million star-studded fundraiser for presidential hopeful John Kerry at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Goldberg caused offence at the event, when, according to the New York Post, "She fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia." But an unrepentant Goldberg hits back in a written statement, "Just because I'm no longer in those (commercial) spots, it doesn't mean I will stop talking. 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. I only wish that the Republican re-election committee would spend as much time working on the economy as they seem to be spending trying to harm my pocketbook."

Methinks thou doth protest too much.

I agree with YOU! Gutter practices of welfare folks, I hate them too.
Whoopie go back to the welfare gutter!
Yep..."don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."
"Stop the censorship! Let Whoopi be Whoopi!"
I agree, Whoopi STOP denigrating females and their genitalia. You're no crotch grabbin Soprano character.
Whoopi, "I only wish that the Republican re-election committee would spend as much time working on the economy as they seem to be spending trying to harm my pocketbook."
Pot meet Kettle whoopi.
I wish the liberals gross double standards would spend as much time working on practicing what they preach as they seem to be spending trying to harm HARD WORKING middle America and their family/religious values!
Wrong there. Barbara Walters would love to have Whoopi go apesh*t on the Republicans. She'd do it herself but her rep as a "journalist" couldn't take it.

Her daddy should'a pulled out ....
what's the difference between whoopi's "bush" (the comment that got her in trouble) and a bowling ball?
You could eat a bowling ball, if you absolutely had to.
I'm probably in trouble now, but she started it.
And ABC is doing everything they can to protect them.
