Sweets for the Sweet

Whoopie Goldberg is obviously irritated over those billboards thanking Hollywood personalities for helping elect George Bush to a second term:

Funnywoman WHOOPIE GOLDBERG has hit back at Republicans gloating about President GEORGE W BUSH's election victory - by sending them a box of chocolates accompanied by
cutting letter.

Right-wing group CITIZENS UNITED has been renting billboards all over Hollywood to poke fun at high-profile celebrities who opposed Bush's re-election campaign.

A poster bearing images of Goldberg, MICHAEL MOORE, BARBRA STREISAND, as well as other ardent Democrat celebrities, features the jibe, "Four more years. Thank you, Hollywood!"
Goldberg responded by sending the confectionary with a note to Citizen United's Washington headquarters which reads, "Gentlemen: I didn't realise how little faith you had in your candidate. To give so much power to folks like myself is amazing.

"I thought you all said that the President won because of what he stood for, and now I come to find out that the only reason he got elected was because of people like me. This doesn't say much for your candidate. Enjoy the chocolate."

When staff members confirmed the chocolates had definitely come from Goldberg they immediately ate them with glee.

A cutting letter? A pretty lame and sophmoric letter would be more accurate. If the billboards hadn't gotten under her skin, she wouldn't have bothered. At least in one instance, mission accomplished.
