Reply #28: Has it occurred to anyone that perhaps Whoopi should apologize [View All]

to Kerry for screwing up his event with language and comments she should have known would have done nothing but draw controversy to him? Is her ego so huge that she thought this was all about her and that she need not consider the negative impact she could have on Kerry and his campaign? Whether it's fair and reasonable or not, she should have known that her comments would be used as a club with which to bludgeon Kerry and to distract attention from real issues.

She should have had the sense to realize that this was not about her - that she was not just performing to a group of her fans who think everything she says is a hoot, but to a larger audience whom Kerry desperately needs to win this election. She did him no good that night.

So, I don't think he owes her an apology at all nor should he feel any obligation to "stand behind her." She should have thought of that before she shot off her mouth.
