“Making Whoopi… Apologize”

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2011/02/whoopi-goldberg-apologizes-to-the-the-new-york-times-/1

Whoopi Goldberg apologized to the New York Times Wednesday. Regardless of what it was for, now she only needs to apologize to the rest of America.

Whoopi apologized for accusing the Times of “sloppy journalism” in an article questioning a seeming drop in Oscar recognition for African American actors, where she, herself was not named among the past winners. To be fair, Whoopi should really apologize for ever having been in movies in the first place.

Though the Academy gave Whoopi an Oscar for her supporting role in the 1990 movie Ghost, they meant to take it back when she later appeared in Theodore Rex, Monkey Bone, and Rat Race.
