Rosie, we hardly knew ye.Whoopi Goldberg used her first day on the daytime chat show to defend Michael Vick in his dogfighting case, which is brilliant. Goldberg, the paradoxical black woman with a jewy stage name and a preference towards white men, said that "from where he comes from" in the South, dogfighting isn't that unusual.
"It's like cockfighting in Puerto Rico," she said. "There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country." Many were waiting to hear her condone Appalachian inbreeding, the child sex trade in the Orient, and genital mutilation in Africa, but hey, she's no expert on those things. But she will
When questioned by co-host Joy Behar about canine torture and dog murdering, Goldberg replied that for many people, dogs are sport, and it appeared it took awhile for Vick to realize that he was up against serious charges. Pol Pot had that problem as well. Where is that fine line between sport and genocide?
"I just thought it was interesting, because it seemed like a light went off in his head when he realized this was something that the entire country didn't appreciate," she said. I think she said that after the Ted Danson blackface incident too. Well Ted, I appreciated it.
