Whoopi saying "I'm a dinner jacket" isn't her original line. They had a guest on one day a long while back that talked those things and how she helps people remember and say names like that. She used that specific line in paticular to show how I think she told Bush to remember how to pronounce it. Whoopi liked it and has used it ever since!
I came across a very fascinating article online today and it is penned by William Ayers. Yes, the "domestic terrorist" that so frightens our Elisabeth. He decided to stay out of the presidential election and hold his comments until the election was over and our next president chosen. I hope that Elisabeth reads it - if for no other reason than to calm her fears about his association with Barack Obama. Perhaps she can call her BFF Hannity and share it with him as well.

The dishonesty of the narrative about Mr. Obama during the campaign went a step further with its assumption that if you can place two people in the same room at the same time, or if you can show that they held a conversation, shared a cup of coffee, took the bus downtown together or had any of a thousand other associations, then you have demonstrated that they share ideas, policies, outlook, influences and, especially, responsibility for each other’s behavior. There is a long and sad history of guilt by association in our political culture, and at crucial times we’ve been unable to rise above it.
President-elect Obama and I sat on a board together; we lived in the same diverse and yet close-knit community; we sometimes passed in the bookstore. We didn’t pal around, and I had nothing to do with his positions. I knew him as well as thousands of others did, and like millions of others, I wish I knew him better.
Demonization, guilt by association, and the politics of fear did not triumph, not this time. Let’s hope they never will again. And let’s hope we might now assert that in our wildly diverse society, talking and listening to the widest range of people is not a sin, but a virtue.
BW says it's WG's line.Originally Posted by Bandy;3246570;
Short transcript of the December 5 conversation:
The "couple of weeks ago" that BW was referring to:JOY BEHAR: You know President Bush can not say Ahmadinejad, can not say the-

SHERRI SHEPHERD: You were going to call President Bush?
WALTERS: I was going to call President Bush up and say "Mr. President, you’re having a lot, a lot of trouble pronouncing Ahmadinejad, and let me tell you why we’re all pronouncing it so well. Because Miss Goldberg, a couple of weeks ago said all you have to think of is Ahmadinejacket." So every time you say Ahmadinejacket-
Tuesday, Sept 25, 2007 - Whoopi taught the group how to say the name of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by remembering the phrase, “I’m a dinner jacket.”
I fail to see how WG referring to Ahmadinejad as "I'm a dinner jacket" is the same as EH referring to Deepak Chopra as "Glitter glasses". WG is making a difficult name easier to say, and EH is simply name-calling. Deepak Chopra is NOT hard to prounounce in any way. Sound it out. Seriously. They are hardly the same thing and I don't understand why they are compared as such. Elisabeth was simply being nasty about someone she doesn't agree with or respect. Now it would be an accurate comparison if she were now referred to as "two toned rats nest head".
That is too funny!!!!
