GOLDBERG'S REPUBLICAN SWIPE

Funnywoman WHOOPIE GOLDBERG has hit back at Republicans gloating about President GEORGE W BUSH's election victory - by sending them a box of chocolates accompanied by cutting letter.

Right-wing group CITIZENS UNITED has been renting billboards all over Hollywood to poke fun at high-profile celebrities who opposed Bush's re-election campaign.

A poster bearing images of Goldberg, MICHAEL MOORE, BARBRA STREISAND, as well as other ardent Democrat celebrities, features the jibe, "Four more years. Thank you, Hollywood!"

Goldberg responded by sending the confectionary with a note to Citizen United's Washington headquarters which reads, "Gentlemen: I didn't realise how little faith you had in your candidate. To give so much power to folks like myself is amazing.

"I thought you all said that the President won because of what he stood for, and now I come to find out that the only reason he got elected was because of people like me. This doesn't say much for your candidate. Enjoy the chocolate."

When staff members confirmed the chocolates had definitely come from Goldbery they immediately ate them with glee.

Exactly right Whoopi, he stands for everything you stand against. You just helped point that out to America and we voted accordingly.

She's still not getting it.

People decided what George Bush stands for is far better than what she and her ilk stand for.

Fisking Whoopie: (wow, what a weird phrase)

I thought you all said that the President won because of what he stood for,

He did.

and now I come to find out that the only reason he got elected was because of people like me.

One and the same thing, because you and your ilk did such a good job of clarifying what what the moonbat left stood for, that it provided wonderfully clarifying contrast with which to evaluate GWB.

This doesn't say much for your candidate.

Well, it says, "He's not like you", which is quite a comfort, actually.

Enjoy the chocolate.

It seems they did.

Indeed, Ms. Goldberg, and we thank you for doing such a good job of magnifying it.

Not the only reason, but every little bit helps!

I'm offended that a black woman would send out a bunch of chockys without any white chocolate...obviously a racial slur...

Not only that, but there were no light browns, yellows, etc. We expect diversity...quotas even.

If she really wanted to make them sick she should have sent them a blown up picture of her face.
