Weight loss product manufacturer Slim-Fast announced Wednesday it had dropped Whoopi Goldberg as its spokeswoman, following a controversy over sexually explicit comments she made last week at a fund-raiser in New York for presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry.

Other entertainers also made disparaging remarks about Bush at the event, but what has Republicans particularly critical of Kerry were his closing remarks in which he thanked them and said they "conveyed the heart and soul of our country."

That prompted the Bush-Cheney campaign to demand that the Kerry-Edwards campaign release video or film footage of the event, saying Americans deserved to decide for themselves about it.

Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt responded, "It is a great example of John Kerry's priorities that on the day he said he did not have time to receive his intelligence briefing on threats to America, he found time to attend a Hollywood fund-raiser, filled with enough hate and vitriol to make Michael Moore blush."

In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live" aired Thursday night, Kerry said he had been offered a briefing from the Bush administration about new terror warnings but "I just haven't had time." Kerry, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told King he would be briefed later this week.

Yah, sKerry never has time...

"Democratic candidate John Kerry, whose campaign demanded to know on Wednesday whether President Bush read a key Iraq intelligence assessment, did not read the document himself before voting to give Bush the authority to go to war, aides acknowledged."

None of the stories I read would specify, only to say it was sexual.
It was probably something along the lines of "Lick Bush"

That does it, I'm not drinking slim-fast anymore.https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

P.S. I'm sure the Democrats will trade Bush, the celebrity film, for the report that the 9/11 commission asked for, and was turned down by he White House. Which do you really think is more important ? https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Well lets see, Whoopi is allegedly a "celebrity" so 99% of the public will think she's more important. However, did you know it's less than a month til the English football season kicks off - now THAT'S really important :thumbs: :D

No college Football is more important

Fair enough. As long as Bush releases the video from the correspondents lunch where he was looking all over the White House while he made humoruous comments like "Has anyone seen the WMD'S" "They have to be somewhere, I started a war over them".
It was the most tasteless thing I ever saw a President do while troops were dying.

Did he actually do that... :o What a turd!

I happened to catch it one afternoon on tv. Seems every year Presidents make a humorous speech at the correspondents lucheon. I laughed a lot. Looked like he was pretty good natured making fun of himself but when I thought about I was pretty ticked off. Since the White House gets the tape of it they have been able to keep it from being released. it was reported on the news but the indignation passed quickly. At the time it still looked like the casualties would end shortly after the war ended.

Well, I don't have to like what he did (if this actually happened), but it doesn't change my stance on my vote yet...so keep trying... :wave:

It really happened. I saw it.
I'll try and find a link.

Here's a link:

At a black-tie dinner for Radio and Television Correspondents' Association on Wednesday, Bush poked fun at himself and his administration for among other things not finding weapons in Iraq.

At one point Bush showed a photo of himself looking for something out a window in the Oval Office. He said: "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere."

After a few more slides,(each one shoed him looking in another place, accompanied by some comment like, Condi said they may be here) (the previous was added by me) there was a shot of Bush looking under furniture in the Oval Office. Bush said "Nope. No weapons over there." Then another picture of Bush searching in his office. He said "Maybe under here."

According to the Nation's David Corn many of the journalists at the dinner laughed throughout the skit.

But the Daily News is reporting that the families of soldiers killed in Iraq are not laughing.

George Medina who lost his son in Iraq said, "This is disgraceful. He doesn't think of all the families that are suffering. It's unbelievable, how this guy runs the country."
