Sister Act
Clinton, Kate
Unplugged Kate Clinton Sister Act By press time, I was unable to obtain a copy of the tape of Whoopi Goldberg at the Madison Square Garden Concert for Kerry in which she donned blackface with Ted...
...Lesbians wearing "Good Bush, Bad Bush" T shirts were sent to Guant??namo...
...Also drinks and coasters...
...Speaking of shoving things down people's throats, after many customer complaints, the Slim-Fast people "shed," "trimmed," or "dropped" Whoopi as spokesperson for their product...
...It was returned...
...In solidarity with my sister comic, I tried to organize a protest to dump Slim-Fast into the Provincetown Harbor...
...And the LGBT community can beat itself up just fine, thank you very much...
...That's when I found that there are rules about dumping Democrats into the harbor...
...Still no word if the cushion people will drop Whoopi, but who knew so many Republicans were on Slim-Fast...
...Janet Jackson sent Whoopi a thank you note...
...It seems that UPS is not the only group wearing brown shirts these days...
...The chips fell where they may...
...Bill Cosby dissed her just on principle...
...In their support of Whoopi, the Democrats announced that the humor of the Whoopster did not reflect the opinions of the Kerry campaign...
...In addition to bailing on Whoopi, the Kerry "support" has had a chilling trickle-down effect on other groups...
...That orange alert adds ten pounds...
...There are double entendres and there are double standards, so I sent them my personal forty-three-hour tape from the Clinton years with footage of their own hysterical jokes about Bill and his Willy...
...While I was waiting for my taped evidence to arrive, Linda Ronstadt was booed off the stage at the Aladdin in Las Vegas for dedicating her encore song "Desperado" to Michael Moore...
...The Aladdin management said that they had cancelled Ronstadt's engagement because she was there to entertain guests, not to impose her political views...
...No wait, that was 1993...
...Yellow is the new rainbow...
...I just want to lose ten pounds in case we have to cancel the elections...
...Kate (I loved seeing Barbara Ehrenreich in The New York Times) Clinton is a humorist...
...From Tom DeLay's chad thugs storming offices in Florida to the casino goons to the values hoods on Fox, Bush can be a lightweight because his heavies do his work...
...At the Kerry fest, she carried a liquor bottle and did a twenty-minute riff on that double entendre gift bag of a word: "bush...
...As if they weren't at the Kerry event...
...Somebody was there with a camera, because the next Sunday, people who had laughed or chuckled mildly during Whoopi's set were not allowed to receive communion in their churches...
...For the Democrat desperados, the beige of Kerry is the new brown...
...The Foxes were characteristically outraged and demanded a tape of the event...
...Better to talk about his Dick Cheney and his potty mouth...
...My permit was denied by the harbormaster who said the goo was too environmentally toxic...
...The DNC denied putting any pressure, but the Human Rights Campaign said they pulled Cho after they previewed her material and found it "brutal" on Bush...
...Perhaps they were angry that it was too female...
...She was "escorted" out of the hotel, with her luggage flying out the door after her...
...Unity 2004, a coalition of ten LGBT groups, disinvited comedian Margaret Cho from entertaining at their convention bash near the aptly named FleetCenter...
...Do these jackboots make me look fat...
