After blowing the lid off the all-important question of whether or not Roman Polanski’s drugging and sodomization of a 13-year-old girl constituted boring old rape or full-on “rape rape,” the world has anxiously waited to see if Professional Opinion Haver Whoopi Goldberg would ever break her legendary silence and finally, FINALLY, offer up a completely insulting and hastily barfed out opinion on Mel Gibson’s public melt-down. Surprise, she has. From the New York Daily News:

Whoopi Goldberg thinks longtime friend Mel Gibson is not a racist – he’s just a “bonehead.”

Despite Gibson’s profanity-laced, racially charged tirade during a secretely taped phone conversation with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, Goldberg defended her friend on Monday’s episode of “The View.”

“I know Mel, and I know he’s not a racist,” she said. “I have had a long friendship with Mel. You can say he’s being a bonehead, but I can’t sit and say that he’s a racist having spent time with him in my house with my kids.”

“You can say he’s being a bonehead.” OK, I’ll say it. He’s being a bonehead. A nightmare racist anti-Semitic homophobic misogynistic bonehead. Yes. Agreed. She has a point, though. How could Mel Gibson be racist if one time he was in a house around Whoopi Goldberg’s children and didn’t threaten to murder them or call them “a pack of niggers”? Would a racist not do those things that one time? I doubt it. A bonehead, maybe.

Goldberg was quick to add, however, that she does not condone her pal’s actions.

“I don’t like what he’s done,” she said. “Make no mistake.”

Oh phew. For a second I thought what Whoopi Goldberg was saying was that she LIKED what Mel Gibson had done.

More stupid stuff that fell out of Whoopi Goldberg’s giant mouth:

Goldberg also added that alcohol was to blame for Gibson’s actions during his 2006 DUI arrest in which the actor made anti-semitic remarks to a police officer.

“Drunks say stupid stuff to people all the time … because they’re drunk, they’re out of control, they’re not thinking, they’re idiotic,” Goldberg said.

However, the talk show host doesn’t think alcohol was responsible for Gibson’s rant that was released Friday on RadarOnline.com.

“This rant?” Goldberg said. “I don’t think he’s drunk on this rant.”

Oh good grief! “You see, when he is using anti-Semitic slurs and denying the Holocaust and blaming ‘all the wars of the world’ on the Jews, it’s because he’s drunk. And when he is being so insanely racist that you can barely even believe it, it’s because he’s a bonehead. One time, he came to my house!” After all these years of making fun of Sheri Shepard, it is time to reassess the Stupidest Person on The View Award. We might need to have the plaque sanded down and re-etched.

Whoopi Goldberg is a bonehead.

  1. What the fuck does someone need to do to convince Whoopi that they are an asshole? A delirous, raging, asshole.

  2. It is a rant. But is it a rant-rant?

    • You, “jawbone” are a genius, not a bonehead jawbone… head? Whatever. You got the good one in.

      • So wild, standing there, with her hands in her hair
        I can’t help remember just where she touched me
        There’s still no face here in her place
        So cool, she was like jazz on a summer’s day
        Music, high and sweet, then she just blew away
        Now she can’t be that warm with the wind in her arms

        Valerie, call on me-call on me, Valerie
        Come and see me-I’m the same boy I used to be

        Love songs fill the night, but they don’t tell it all
        Not how lovers cry out just like they’re dying
        Her cries hang there in time somewhere
        Someday, some good wind may blow her back to me
        Some night I may hear her like she used to be
        No it can’t be that warm with the wind in her arms

        So cool, she was like jazz on a summer’s day
        Music, high and sweet, then she just blew away
        Don’t tell me you’re warm with the wind in your arms

        Valerie, call on me-call on me, Valerie
        Come and see me-I’m the same boy I used to be

  3. Uh, I’m sorry Whoopi but you don’t speak for all black people.

    That was your boyfriend

      • Harry Connick Jr. no likey;
        “I just wanted to say on behalf of my country, I know it was done humorously, but we’ve spent so much time trying to not make Mel Gibson look retarded, that when we see something like that, we take it really to heart. I know it was in good fun, and the last thing I want to do is take this post to a down level—because you know how much I love this Mel Gibson and this country—but I feel like I’m at home here, and if I knew that was going to be part of Mad Max 4, I probably—I definitely wouldn’t have done it.”

  4. He’s not a racist-racist.

  5. You have no eyebrows. Your opinion is invalid.

  6. I don’t give a whoop about her opinions.

  7. You can be someone’s friend and still not know they way they act in a relationship. I’m sure he also never told her to suck his dick because he deserves it, doesn’t indicate that he didn’t mean that when he said it too.

  8. Why don’t you ever write posts about the super smart things that Whoopi says? I’ll tell you why: racism!

  9. On the one hand, I can understand the impulse to defend someone you consider a friend in the face of criticism.

    On the other hand, COME THE FUCK ON. When your friend is a terrible terrible person, they deserve criticism for their terrible, terrible actions.

    At this point, part of me wonders what actions or behavior Whoopi Goldberg WOULD condemn. Luckily, most of me thinks it would be too terrible to contemplate and that I would be much better served finding pictures of kittens in trees.

  10. She must’ve defended violently bigoted aquaintences all the way to the top to get that EGOT.

  11. I’m starting to get worried about Whoopie, you guys. What has happened to her in her life that was so terrible that things like this and Roman Polanski’s child rape don’t look all that bad?

  12. She’s right, it does kinda look like a bone:

  13. Mel Gibson has a picture of Whoopi Goldberg’s kids in his wallet.

  14. Dear Jewish Media [redundancy sic] Elite of the Left:

    You guys are TOTALLY blowing this such out of proportion. So Mel used a word for colored people that some of you squeamish folks find “offensive.” So Mel critiques false breasts, which are, by the way, an abomination in the sight of Jehovah. So Mel hit a woman a little when she totally freakin’ deserved it for TALKING BACK to a man, who SHOULD have total authority over his wife! Or mistress, as in this case.
    Big. Freakin’. Deal. Cut him some slack!

  15. Just another reminder that we all have a right to liberty.

  16. I’m surprised Whoopi didn’t mention that anytime Mel is over at Whoopi’s house he refuses to lift a finger.

  17. I like how she always makes these big, serious statements, and we’re supposed to take her very seriously, meanwhile, her name is Whoopi.

  18. she’s still got it.

  19. Maybe Keenan Thompson was filling in for her! I mean he does a HELL of an impersonation.

  20. I can’t wait for him to trot out the Songer defense: “I talk Racist-Homophobic-Misogynist, I don’t DO Racist-Homophobic-Misogynist.”


  21. Hall of Famer

  22. Confession Time:

    I watched an entire episode of “Whoopie” because Michael Emerson (TV’s Ben) was on it.

    I also puked in my sister’s toy chest once and blamed it on the dog.

    • My friend and I walked out of Crocodile Dundee in the first few minutes because a crocodile looked too fake. Then we went into the next theater where the Whoopi Goldberg tehcno-fear tour de force “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” was playing and watched it in its entirety.

      I also puked in my own toy chest in my old bedroom in my parents house thinking it was a toilet. I was drunk.

  23. Incorrect comment: “He’s not a racist . . . he’s being a bonehead.”

    Correct comment: “I will tell you what I think of this Mel Gibson controversy, but you will blow me first.”

    You’re welcome, Whoopi.

  24. “I don’t understand why you’re so upset, officer – Whoopi LOVES it when I call her sugar-tits”

  25. “I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they’re black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg’s *lips*.” – Officer Self Hatred from Don’t Be a Menace…/Mel Gibson

  26. Gibson’s single use of ‘nigger’ was vile but in the context of 10 minutes (that we’ve heard )of the most concentrated, breathless, unhinged and violently mysoginistic language I’ve ever heard DIRECTED AT A FRIGHTENED WOMAN, I find it totally weird that it’s the racist angle that’s getting the most light.
    Thoughts?

    • …. I don’t even know how to respond to this. Are you actually trying to argue that Mel Gibson just has a temper problem?

      • I think 99% of the content of these tapes is related to his being furious. Out of control angry. I don’t think there’s much else you can draw from it. People use harsh words when they’re angry. I didn’t mean to downplay his violent temper. He sounds like he’s dangerous to be around.

        • i agree…people always say things they don’t mean in anger…it’s human nature

          • I love that Mel is so bad that spousal abuse, holocaust denial and paranoid bilious misogyny get folded into the latter half of “racist etc.”

            Also, you don’t think we can take his repeated racist comments as an indicator that he is a racist? Because I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how it works.

          • you got a point. I’ll give way. Mel Gibson is a horrible person.
