The C-List

"Comedienne" Kathy Griffin won an Emmy for her show "My Life on the D-List." The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and E! released a statement that her speech will be cut and censored due to offensive language. Um...here's part of what she said:

"a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus."

She went on to hold up her Emmy, make an off-color remark about Christ and proclaim, "This award is my god now!"

WHAT is the point of fighting the war -- Operation Iraqi Freedom -- if someone as insignificant as Kathy Griffin can't open her big mouth and say whatever the hell she wants?

The comedian's remarks were condemned Monday by Catholic League President Bill Donohue, who called them a "vulgar, in-your-face brand of hate speech."

Really, Mr. Donohue. I find it much more offensive and vulgar that the Catholic church basically condones child molestation. Your leadership fails to report abusive priests to the police, instead choosing to transfer them from city to city, where they molest more and more children.

There's nothing I hate more than censorship. Even the most vile human beings have a right to speak freely. As far as I know everyone has the right to choose not to listen.
