    I think Karl Marx would have made a better vodka spokesman.

    He had that crazed drunk look to him. Let's the masses know that it'll get the job done.

      What really has me upset about this Whoopi situation, that no one mentions is corporate america and how companies pick outrageous personalities for their products and then fire them for doing what they are famous for.
      In the case of Whoopi, what did Slimfast expect from someone that went to a roast with her then boyfriend, Ted Danson, dressed in black-face. Her comedy has always been "dirty". Why is this company firing her for doing what they hired her for.
      Another examples of this includes Rush Limbaugh being hired as a football analyst because of the controversy he might bring to the table and then being fired for being controversial. I chose to highlight this incident because it shows that the Corporate hypocrasy works against both liberals and democrats.
      The worst case of this recently was ABC using Jimmy Kimmel at an NBA game and then suspending him because he made an inappropriate joke.
      I hate this corporate BS more than the Democrats and Republicans combined.

        Rush was an asset to the group of boring sports analysts...

          Rush would have been fired two days later anyway, even if he hadn't made the racist comment about McNabb, because the story broke about his oxycontin addiction.

              To say that a quarterback only got media attention because he was black. Hell, the guy's no Joe Montana, but he won enough games to get the Eagles to the playoffs.

                Rush was right but everyone else is afraid to say it. McNabb is an above-average QB. Nothing more. He can't close the deal.

                  Yeah, that's definitely a racist comment, FORD.

                  Give me a fucking break.

                    I've actually tried a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich...it is pretty good. The bad thing about it is I could feel my arteries close after two bites, and there ain't no way in hell I'm going to die on the shitter. :D

                        And yet somehow, the term "White ******" is just fine and dandy with you on the left...
