Bush blasts Kerry over fund-raiser





Wednesday, July 14, 2004 Posted: 9:05 AM EDT (1305 GMT)



MARQUETTE, Michigan (CNN) -- President Bush criticized Democrats on Tuesday over a fund-raiser last week where celebrities used off-color language and called him a "thug" and a "liar."



His campaign demanded that the Kerry-Edwards campaign release footage of the event.



Speaking at a campaign stop in Michigan, Bush told supporters that "the other day, my opponent said, when he was with some entertainers from Hollywood, that they were the heart and soul of America.



"I believe the heart and soul of America is found in places right here, in Marquette, Michigan," he said, to applause from the crowd.



During the event, comedian Whoopi Goldberg made sexually explicit comments that were puns on Bush's name and singer John Mellencamp referred to the president as a "thug." Comedian Chevy Chase called Bush a "liar" and "bright as an egg timer," while actor Paul Newman called the Bush administration's tax cuts "borderline criminal."



However, Republicans have been particularly critical of Kerry's remarks at the end of the evening, when he thanked the entertainers and said they "conveyed the heart and soul of our country."

Slim-Fast Sheds Whoopi Goldberg After Bush Riff



Comedian Whoopi Goldberg will no longer appear in ads for diet aid maker Slim-Fast following her lewd riff on President Bush's name at a fund-raiser last week, the company said on Wednesday.



"Ads featuring Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on the air," Slim-Fast General Manager Terry Olson said.



The New York Post said of Goldberg's appearance at the event: "Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia."



A spokesperson for Goldberg declined immediate comment.

Yes, this turned out to a big minus for John in several ways.



Americans like celebs for their talent, but hate Hollywood elitism. That's not a plus for any candidate.



It was a dumb move by Kerry, especially since he skipped an urgent national security briefing re: terrorist threats to attend a Hollywood party. He told Larry King that he "Didn't have the time" for the briefing, so he went to the party instead.



This episode provided the President with great fodder in the portrayal of "the average Jane & John Does versus the wealthy, elite celebs".

DUBYA FIRES WHOOPI WEAPON AT FOE



By DEBORAH ORIN

July 14, 2004 -- DULUTH, Minn. — President Bush yesterday tagged rival John Kerry as an "out-of-the-mainstream" Hollywood liberal by pointing to last week's New York fund-raiser in which Whoopi Goldberg reeled off an X-rated Bush-bashing rant.



"The other day my opponent said, when he was with some entertainers from Hollywood, that they were the heart and soul of America," Bush told crowds in the Democratic but socially conservative towns of Marquette, Mich., and Duluth.



"I believe the heart and soul of America is found in places right here," Bush added to cheers from two giant crowds as he sought to move the values debate to the center of the race.



On the eve of a Senate test on banning gay marriage, Bush added: "We stand for institutions like marriage and the family that are the foundations of our society."



Up at the top of the stands of a Marquette stadium stood four kids proudly holding a long white banner with red and blue letters that proclaimed: "We are the heart and soul of America."



Kathleen Erikson, 57, said she was so angry at Kerry's claim that "those type of people" are America's soul that she made the banner.



Last Thursday, Goldberg led the way in crude Bush- bashing at a $7.5million Kerry fund-raiser by reeling off vulgar sexual word-plays on Bush's name while other performers blasted him as a killer and "cheap thug."



Right afterward, Kerry got up on the stage at Radio City Music Hall and said all the performers showed "the heart and soul of our country." The Duluth Superior newspaper yesterday called on Kerry to apologize.
