Whoopi Goldberg used to be in Star Trek: Next Generation playing the Enterprise’s wise old sage, Guinan. She is certainly proving that life doesn’t imitate art.

First she provided a nice bit of support for Roman Polanski when he was held in  Switzerland, saying “I know it wasn’t rape rape”.

This week she was on television showing love for another fellow celebrity, Mel Gibson.

“He may be a bonehead. I can’t sit and say that he is a racist”. (By bonehead one can guess she means someone threatening to harm his girlfriend and burn down her house because she once went to sleep before giving him oral sex.)

In case one needs reminding why people obviously unreasonably, whoopi thought he might be racist, this is what he said to the mother of his youngest child:

“You are an embarrassment to me. You look like a f**king pig in heat and if you get raped by a pack of n**gers, it will be your fault. (Pop Bitch)

A pox on Martin Riggs for threatening to set his girlfriend’s house on fire. Evidently his girlfriend lives in a cross.
