Hi,
Her controversial comments were not made at the actual Democratic
convention, but at a Kerry fundraiser several days before.  I could
direct you to a transcript if you're interested.  Would that be ok?

Well, I'm going to go ahead and post this as an answer.  As I
indicated above, Whoopi Goldberg's controversial comments were not
actually made at the Democratic Convention in Boston. Instead, the
comments were made at a fundraiser for John Kerry the previous week at
Radio City Music Hall.

There's a transcript of Ms Goldberg's remarks on this page (WARNING:
some readers may find some of the remarks crass or offensive):
http://www.acmewebpages.com/whoopi/whoopisaid.htm

In any case, I'm confident that Goldberg's remarks at Radio City are
what you're seeking.

Whoopi Goldberg was not a speaker at the Democratic National
Convention.  This is mentioned in this New York Daily News article:

"Don't look for Whoopi Goldberg at the Democratic National Convention:
We hear the Kerry-Edwards campaign thinks the comic is still
radioactive after her controversial Bush-bashing jokes at a recent
Radio City fund-raiser...
...Goldberg's rep, Brad Caferelli, says she was invited to the Dem
convention but decided to "go on vacation" instead."

search strategy:
"whoopi goldberg" bush
"whoopi goldberg" " Stevie Wonder is not fully there"

Thanks.

Well your answer is not exactly what I had in mind. I wasn't really
too concerned about where Whoopi Goldberg spoke but rather what was
the joke that she made about Geo. Bush? I thought I made that clear
the first time, but I guess not.                       MEK2

These are the "jokes" for which Ms Goldberg was criticized.

I am trying to delete the keywords that keep popping up when using Google Search.
Your ans. told me to " goto 'Tools' then 'Internet Options' then
.........." . I am using Safari and do not seem to have an Internet
Explorer so as to get the so called "Tools"!  I'm using a Macintosh
computer with the most recent updated version. Do you have any more
suggestions?   MEK2
