I just read this and I am just wonding how stupid can she be and what is the over/under gonna be on how long she lasts on the show.

I guess it'd be more controversial if people watched The View, but still.

Certain people try to be controversial on purpose in order to increase their fame. She is definitely one of them. The argument is ridiculous: some people grow up where theft, drug dealing and murder are common, are we supposed to excuse them?

Here's what the headline should be:

Washed-Up Comedienne Tries to Revive Career With Controversy.

As a noob myself, I was wondering if I need to wait until the thread is moved before I reply to a thread that is obviously in the wrong forum, or should I just pretend it is in the correct forum and count on our excellent moderators to move it eventually?

Oh, that reminds me, I meant to add a disclaimer that I've never watched The View. I once saw about 20 seconds of it when I was flipping channels, and it caused serious retina and brain damage, so I've been careful to avoid it since.

I've never seen it either and technically, this thread is about what a moron Whoopi Goldberg is, and not about The View at all.

The one thing about this whole thing that is the most disgusting- and the one thing that hasn't been mentioned a single time- is that Federal authority has gotten so encompassing that they now have jurisdiction over ****ing dogfighting.

The goddamn commerce clause needs to be taken control of, fast.
The entire point of a Federalist republic is terribly undermined whenever Federal law is applied to pissant local matters.
It's gotten do damn bad that we actually have two entirely separate legal systems that can convict and sentence a man twice for the exact same crime.

The founders would roll over in their ****ing graves if they knew that in the year 2007, Federal authority would be extended to dogfighting.

There's so many ways to go with this.

I was reading her wikipedia page sheet and I am very jealous of her.

She has an Oscar, Tony, Grammy and an Emmy and was the center square.

That is a good career.

Goldberg said that "from where he comes from" in the South, dogfighting isn't that unusual.

"It's like cockfighting in Puerto Rico," she said. "There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country."


Yeah, just like slavery and lynching coloreds used to be indicative of the south, it should be okay, according to WGs idiotic logic.

I also love how the NAACP urged the media to 'exercise restraint' relating to a black Vick, but a white radio announcer makes a joke about bad hair, the NAACP wants him crucified.

You have to love Big Media these days.

I saw the comments on sportscenter, so I am guessing I watched an edited version. But I don't recall her saying it was ok he was into it, just that he was more likely to be involved with it based on where he grew up.

I think the problem with her comment is saying that it is expected and how should he have known killing dogs was not an illegal act which in her defense is not stating that he should not be punished but it still plays this "the poor guy didn't know it wasn't ok" act which is a pretty useless argument. People need to stop making excuses for the guy, in my opinion.
