I don't have a problem with the Casino firing Rondstat for expressing her political views in the middle of a show in Vegas, any more than I have a problem with networks firing homophobes and racists.
Assuming that Goldberg did NOT slip some kind of subliminal anti-Bush message into a Slimfast commercial, however, I find that situation a lot more troubling.
Of course, there will be some people who are just too ignorant to understand why.
But really ... my goal is to someday be so smart and sophisticated as to be above it all, so I can laugh at all of you.

PD if you had employees who were angering a large segment of the population, and hence your customer base would you fire them?
I would fire anyone who alienated my customer base. If this was a private conversation between frineds it is one thing, but Whoopi is a public figure who gets a lot of attention ( hence her being a spokes person in the first place).
This is a private company doing what it feels is best for its image.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Dick Cheney was not calling up Mrs. Fast and telling her to cut Whoopi or else Bush was going to destroy the company.
