Whoopi calls it as she sees it.. NBC hasn't blinked yet

[SoCalDem]

In her new NBC sitcom, Whoopi Goldberg smokes like a chimney and pokes fun at terror alerts, how President Bush (news - web sites) mispronounces 'nuclear' and at black people acting white, not to mention white people acting black. So far, NBC hasn't blinked. In fact, says the Oscar-winning actress, executives at the General Electric Co.-owned network think she could even be 'a little riskier.'

1. Got a time/day for this one?

My television mainly serves as a horizontal surface when the dining room and coffee tables fill with the kids junk, maybe I could warm it up for this one.

The best line I've seen so far in the previews (said to her Iranian handyman): "Will you stop it? You're scarin' all the white people!"

5. She is SO AWESOME.

I'll just leave it at that, I've liked her for a long time--I'll be checking out her show as well.

6. If it's the old Whoopi (kinda sounds like it) as in her Broadway act--

then it'll be great. I'll give it a chance; I doubt it will last long.

8. GO WHOOPI!

I've always liked Whoopi Goldberg. Let's hope she really sticks it to the system in this show.

9. Whoopi is my hero

She actually helped get clean , her fauntane character that is .

10. From what I've seen, it's very un-PC.

For example: calling Iranians 'Arab.' Iranians are a different ethnic group from the Arabs. They are Farsi, or Persian.

I just hope the show is funny. I love Whoopi Goldberg.

11. Actually I think that is her POINT

"some" people make no distinction between ANY middleastern nationality.. "If yer from "there" yer an A-Rab".. I think that's the point she's making:)
