#81 Whoopi also backed Palin on the Letterman jokes. They all did on The View. At first, it was only Hasselbeck, but later they all realized it was really, really wrong.
Whoopi isn’t one of my favorite people, but one thing she’s not is stupid.

She also has a candid and independent streak that’s rare in her business. I’m sure that many others understood that this was destructive, but chose to not be the nail that pops up.
