Federal Review ^ | Monday, October 31, 2005
ITHACA—Outspoken liberal actor Whoopi Goldberg delivered an obscenity laden tirade to students and parents, bashing Republicans and joking about drugs and menopause, at Cornell University’s “family weekend” comedy show on Friday (October 28).
“Tom DeLay in handcuffs made my week,”Goldberg reportedly said, referring to the arrest of the former House majority leader. “When they took his mug shot and fingerprints, I thought I’d died and went to heaven.”
In addition to attacks on the Bush adminstration and FEMA, Goldberg also “shocked audience members with frank talk about bathroom humor, her marijuana use and aging,” the Cornell Daily Sun reported.
“If you thought you were coming to see Sister Act, you were f**king wrong,” Goldberg said.
As a “family weekend” comedy show, Goldberg’s performance attracted an “all ages” crowd, including college students, their parents and even some elementary school aged children, the Sun reported.
In addition to the “Sister Act” movies, Goldberg is known for such films as Rat Race, Monkeybone and Theodore Rex. She also starred in the short-lived NBC series “Whoopi.” |
