Sports Whoopi goes Vick
Posted by Scott Freeman on Wed, Sep 5, 2007 at 2:45 PM
Whoopi Goldberg came to Michael Vick's defense on her first day as moderator of "The View."
Goldberg, who was born in New York City, says blacks in the Deep South have a "different relationship to dogs and cats and things."
Uh, Whoopi: Open mouth, insert foot.
Also, you can own the notes Michael Vick used to prompt his comments at his news conference following his guilty plea in Richmond.
The latest bid on eBay is at $2,000.

Rosie kind of set the bar high for liberal foot-in-mouth commentary. I actually feel bad for Whoopi, who perhaps was trying to place this is a more sociocultural context but screwed up royally. Hopefully she'll get into the groove with this show, cuz as much as she annoys me, she's a wee bit smarter than the average member of this group.

I can understand why Whoopi would say something like that. I only recently escaped after living 2 years in New York City, and you have to understand that "where she comes from" (NYC) that's how "they" (NYers) think, i.e. that everyone living outside the five boroughs is an ignorant hick.
