Fundraiser Quotes

(when asked by Chris Matthews if what thought about Whoopi Goldberg`s remarks at a John Kerry fundraiser that resulted in her being fired as a spokesman for SlimFast) I wasn`t there. I went to the Los Angeles fundraiser. I wasn`t in the one in New York. I think when you have somebody -- you know, if you did a rock concert that was a benefit and The Who played their music or The Rolling Stones, you`d expect to get, you know, "Satisfaction" or "My Generation." When you hire Whoopi Goldberg, you`re going to get her brand of humor. And I think there is a fine line, and you have to be a little bit mindful. And I, for one, am not going to do any scatological jokes or puns about the president`s last name on your show, mostly for that reason.

Patrick Leahy to "Go fuck yourself" on the floor of the Senate), who used this vulgar language, you know, to a senator and was sort of unapologetic about it. So I think the Republicans hitting her (Whoopi) too hard for that is a little bit hypocritical.
