I really didn't hear what she said, but that is up to the company. Besides I could care less what these entertainers think anyways

If the company wants to fire her that's up to them.  But what do they expect?  Whoopi is a comedienne....the president has the misfortune of having the last name "Bush".  Goldberg didn't say anything that almost EVERYONE hasn't thought or said at some time.  Now, you've got the party of "deceny" having the VP tell someone to "go f*ck themselves" on the floor of congress.  Can't have it both ways.

I don't know exactly what she said, either, but I do think a company has a right to fire a spokesperson for numerous reasons. They choose a spokesperson because of their image, and, if that image changes or becomes controversial, it can reflect on the sales of their product.
 
It doesn't matter if Slim Fast is pro or con Bush, they are most likely concerned with not alienating members of either political party, because they are all consumers.
 
Of course, it will come down to legalities, meaning that there has to be an ironclad clause in Slim Fast's contract with Goldberg to that effect, or she can sue. I'm sure such a clause exists, though.

It was tasteless and rude given the circumstances.....it wasn't a comic relief setting.  She should have known better and I'm glad Slim fast gave her the boot.
