Whoopi and the Democrats
As reported in the Boston Herald:

<snip

WHOOPI GOLDBERG is still miffed at the Demmies - and John Kerry - for abandoning her after she made a naughty joke about President George W. Bush and female anatomy during last year's presidential campaign. ``My party abandoned me. There's no other way to say it: They put their tails between their legs and they ran,'' the Whoopster told Air America's ``Politically Correct'' host David Bender. ``I've closed my eyes to the party. I haven't turned my back on them, but I no longer feel comfortable saying that I feel like I'm represented by them.''

<end snip

I agree with Whoopi on this. Laura Bush tells a bit about her husband jackin' off a horse, and she launches a new career as a standup comic. Whoopi makes comments about the obvious connect between the current President's surname and a certain part of female anatomy. The Kerry can't put enough distance between themselves and Whoopi.

2. It was all about Kerry's advisors telling him, over and over,
that he didn't dare fight Bush with the same fire the Bushies fought him with.

An approach that was just as stupid as Kerry's obsession with keeping his convention and his platform a liberalism-free zone, or the moronic fixation with pissing away good campaign money on legal challenges to Nader's ballot status when those funds could've been used to actually win votes FOR the Kerry/Edwards ticket.

3. Just another example of the raging hypocrisy
in this country. Whoopi makes a mildly offensive (?) joke and the Dems gasp! and run. Laura Bush makes a few offensive jokes about her husband and that's okay. She gets lots of fawning publicity and Whoopi gets vilified? Sort of like when Clinton has consensual relations, he gets impeached. Hager forcibly sodomizes his wife and gets to restrict women's access to emergency contraceptive? The hypocrisy continues.

5. Yep, it's the hypocrisy of the democracy....
someone in another thread said, "if we could harness the hypocricy of this government as energy, we would never have to import another barrel of oil" or something like that. So true!
