Whoopi Goldberg continues to be awful

She retweeted a blood libel against Israel a few days ago. I feel terrible at ever having thought she deserved any kind of a career in the past 2 decades. Clearly, she did not. Today, I know better about contemptible "celebrities" like her.

From Wiki (I've heard the same story from other sources):

Her stage name, Whoopi, was taken from a whoopee cushion; she has stated that "If you get a little gassy, you've got to let it go. So people used to say to me, 'You're like a whoopee cushion.' And that's where the name came from."[7][8] She adopted the traditionally German/Jewish surname Goldberg as a stage name because her mother felt the original surname of Johnson was not "Jewish enough" to make her a star.[
