Whoopi, Scott Croswell, and Don White Are Alike: Defending the Indefensible


What do Whoopi Goldberg, Clermont County Commissioner Scott Croswell, and Clermont County Prosecutor have in common?

Answer: All three defend and make excuses for the indefensible.

Don White was the prosecutor who refused to press any charges against the woman who left her child to bake in the car, but took the time to get the donuts out of the car so they wouldn't melt for her teacher inservice day. Croswell is the lawyer hired by the woman, who also happens to be White's boss as Clermont County commissioner.

And what did Whoopi do? Well, she defended Michael Vick's neglect of dogs.
Whoopi Goldberg used her first day on the daytime chat show Tuesday to defend football star Michael Vick in his dogfighting case.

Goldberg said that "from where he comes from" in the South, dogfighting isn't that unusual.

"It's like cockfighting in Puerto Rico," she said. "There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country."

How about dog torture and dog murdering?" Behar asked.

For many people, dogs are sport, Goldberg replied, and it appeared it took awhile for Vick to realize that he was up against serious charges.

"I just thought it was interesting, because it seemed like a light went off in his head when he realized this was something that the entire country didn't appreciate," she said.


Well, Whoops, in certain parts of the country, child pornography and pedophilia is like picking up women at the bar. Does that make it ok? What kind of a friggin moron are you?
